In September 2022, the Bureau of Prisons announced that it was reviving a plan to build and operate a federal correctional institution and prison camp in Letcher County, KY. This episode shares the comments, both pro and con, that members of the public delivered to Bureau of Prisons representatives regarding bringing a prison to the county. Plans for a prison originated in 2006 when Congress authorized a study for a high security facility which was eventually approved for a site in Roxanna in 2018. However, in 2019 that plan was withdrawn. Now the Bureau of Prisons is proposing a medium security prison and work camp and began the process of creating a Draft Environmental Impact Statement with a public meeting on November 17 at Letcher County Central High School. 150 people signed in and another 54 were attending by way of the internet. Comments have been lightly edited. It should be noted that all speakers received applause from the audience but that has been edited out for time’s sake.
