Moving day at Fort Madison prison
The Iowa State Penitentiary moved 507 maximum security offenders from the 176 year old Fort Madison facility to a new state of the art institution. The almost six hour operation began before 7 a.m. and ended by 1 p.m with no incidents. Agencies including the Iowa State Patrol Fort Madison Police Department Lee County Sheriff's Office DNR DOT and Illinois Department of Corrections assisted. Jerry Bartruff called it a historic day and noted the move caps a multimillion dollar project delayed by design and construction issues.
