" Closing the prisons and allowing criminals to walk the streets will only enhance the Counseling services. The money will just go somewhere else. All if not most counseling centers are court ordered, state funded facilities. Forget about a regular person getting help. But hey, if you commit a crime you "may" get help. Grants use to not be like this in '89 when I first moved here. "

" The Regulator: Maybe you will be thinking the same thing when you are standing in the unemployment line and getting food stamps. I laugh at stupid people like you. I am not the one making the choice it is people like Joe Williams, who use to be a decent warden. But then decided to abuse his powers over cell phone calls to a girlfriend. Which he never really got into trouble over. And, Richardson who will determine if CCA is worth keeping open! "

" They will NOT close CCA. The state will pull it's contract and CCA will find another way to make money. None of those employees are employed by the state, they are a private company. CCA WILL NOT lose money...I am sure they have another contract in the works as we speak. "

" Do NOT call the state representatives! This is nonsense! Instead, please call CCSO! Report your neighbors, their children, even their pets...as long as they are female; even if spayed.
Lord knows that charges will soon be filed and the courts will process the nonsense so that the good people of cibola county can retain their jobs.
It really does not matter if folks are innocent or guilty of crimes in cibola county; it's the JOBS for the legal system that matter.
Jobs for police, clerks, bail bondsmen, judges, jailers, staff, lawyers. And it just goes on and on. "

" The people running the women's prison have been abusing and dumping their best workers for years now. Their motto: "If you don't like it, there's the door!" It's no big secret. Everyone in Grants knows that. CCA used these good workers like slaves, threw them to the curb, and never even said "thanks." The good people of Grants MADE CCA successful here, not the other way around. Now the company wants us to lobby for it? My response to Nashville: "If you don't like it, there's the door!" "

" So where, exactly, would those 590 prisoners go? Early parole? Shipped to another prison to contribute to overcrowding? This doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.

And what about the people who work at the prison who will lose their jobs? That will just contribute to the economic issues.

This doesn't sound like a good idea. "

" It amazes me how stupid our government is at times. Even if cutbacks need to be made, closing an entire establishment of this kind makes absolutely zero sense.

There are many many other areas where cuts could be made and even superfluous and unnecessary programs that could be eliminated, that would not put the public in danger.

If even one person is harmed by a prisoner released early because the facility is closed, there should be a steep price to pay. "

" It does no wonder your momma named you BUTCH! By the likes of it, you are a former disgruntled employee that was fired either for pure laziness/tardiness/lack of self worth or just straight out prefer to sit on your can and draw unemployment. Perhaps if you would’ve valued your opportunities while employed, you wouldn’t be broke yourself. Thankfully your opinions do not or will not impact decisions made. "

" I think they need to close the prison. The world revolves around them anyway
(the inmates) why not let them go free?
And as for the ones that have jobs and will lose them, go broke and see how it feels. You people have flaunted it to long. "
