Branstad to Review Prison Expansion Needs
Iowa Governor Terry Branstad said he will review the corrections department proposals for 1050 additional prison beds and a $29 million operating increase before endorsing more expansion. The plan, following openings at Clarinda Newton and Fort Dodge, would raise capacity beyond 5701 while state inmate numbers push toward 8000 by decade's end. He supports inmate work camps and work programs to offset costs.
