Jones County Officials and Anson City Officials attempt
to make their presence known at the Texas Board of
Criminal Justice meeting
April 20, 2012
Jones County Officials and the mayor from Anson, a community with a
population of 2,236, made their presence known on Friday at the Texas
Board of Criminal Justice Meeting. The county located near Lubbock
invested over $35 million in the building of a 1,100 bed private prison
facility. In this unwise decision to invest in a private prison, the community
leaders are seeking for TDCJ to bail out the community for its short sided
investment. In addition to the county's $35 million investment, the City of
Anson invested over $4 million in sewage and water. The private prison
is now being called the Prison to No Where.
With Rick Perry's pledge to not allow new taxes this next legislative
session, it is doubtful the state will seek any additional prison space. This
private prison failure marks the continued private prison bubble crisis now
facing several Texas Counties.
Opinion on this matter: No more bailouts of local governments for bad
investments.
