Comments

  • currently off grounds
  • not so much a ghost town people still live there.
  • Proposed site for a commercial jail
  • what's a 'commercial' jail?
  • A for-profit prison was operated by Utah's Management and Training Corporation here in facilities leased from Kaiser Steel. Six weeks before it was closed on December 31, 2003, a race riot claimed the lives of two African-American prisoners.
  • So much for private prisons.
