Bennett Shifts PrisonSite To Lansing In New Plan
Gov. Bennett proposes a $17.75 million medium security prison at Lansing instead of Osawatomie, with $200,000 for planning and Phase 1 to house 200 inmates plus 400 support, to enable flexible future use alongside the state penitentiary. He pairs this with funds for planning, research on community based corrections, and pilot projects, noting costs rise 10 percent per year if delayed.

The Supreme Court's senior member, Justice William J. Brennan Jr., is undergoing cobalt radiation treatment for cancer and is expected to return in time to participate in cases.

Other actions on Monday included rejecting a pay protection appeal for 130 federal judges, rulings on searches in workplaces, the MacDonald murder case, and an appeal about public access to pretrial hearings.
