Iowa lawmakers back moving women from Rockwell City prison
A joint budget subcommittee recommends relocating 100 female inmates from the Rockwell City Iowa Women's Reformatory to Mitchellville and converting Rockwell City to a men’s prison, citing better access to education and visits. The plan, approved 10-5 with abstentions, would also affect budgets and long term state prison capacity.
