Missouri Prison Opens Auxiliary Unit For 200 Inmates
Missouri opens its $875000 auxiliary prison eight miles west of town with 200 convicts housed amid only minimal work. The unit, capacity 640, will expand as farming and quarry work season arrives, though initially few jobs are available. Penal Director Grover C. Clevenger says occupants were chosen with casual regard to remaining time to serve. The project marks the final step in a bond financed program to relieve main prison crowding.
