RUSH CITY PRISON By Andy 1. It is a correctional facility 2. In 1994 the Minnesota legislature appropriated funds for a new correctional facility in or close to the twin cities. Rush city was selected from many spots in or around the twin cities.
In 1996 construction began. Thoughtful, innovative design was a tremendous difference in the cost of the prison, thinking of space requirements and how many workers would be required to run the facility safely. 3. 89 million dollars of an 83-acre facility placed on a 385-acre site.
Total inmate capacity of almost 1000 prisoners. 4. None that I read about 5. Well, Rush City is the place for our county fair and it sees a lot more action then one may think. It is right on the freeway which makes an easy commute from almost anywhere around the area, and it also provides a nice, safe working environment that is close to home and pays well. There is not many departments like stores in rush city but it is full of factory buildings and work sites.
It is also a good spot for the inmates themselves. They can easily have a job on the outside if they are allowed that option and it is close to the facility. 6. In rush city there are a lot of farm boys who are tuff enough to be prison guards, I actually know of a guy who grew up with my cousins and I on their farm and he went through a strict training program to be a guard in the visitors section.
As far as food is concerned there seems to be a lot of ways food is delivered and made up for the inmates. From the usual lunch lady to sy sco. I do not know much about the security system in the facility but it must be state of the art if they dropped 90 million dollars on the place. I think it is a fine place for a prison, I believe the inmates would be safer staying in the fence then actually escaping into that town.
The Review on Prison Violence
Incarceration rates rose to unprecedented levels in the history of the U.S.’s imprisonment. Therefore, concern about social control of the incarcerated, that is, prisoners’ behavior, has increased. High inmate disciplinary infractions, especially violent infractions, are a threat to the safety of prison, of correctional staff, and of other inmates. Nevertheless, the issue of discipline in prison ...
7. As stated in question 3 the Minnesota legislature gave 83 million to build the facility 8. A: thank god I now have a job that is close to home, it beats driving 52 miles everyday and the pay is competitive to what I was getting at my city job. I can run home for lunch and I get to see my kids more then I used to. They worry a little but I tell them that I am safe at the prison and I tell them the stories I have heard. B: with this new prison in town are sales have gone up almost 100 percent from last year.
We were almost ready to close our doors, but thanks to the new prison we have been busy as all heck. I think we may even need some more employees just to keep up with all the utilities and services they need. C: I myself am not too sure of this prison they through up in our backyard. My grandchildren live practically a mile away. What if one of those yahoos escapes and run this town rapid. We are not a big city town.
We have our gas stations factories and our churches. We do not need a prison to taint our city. D: well, my mother says I should get used to it because it will be my future home but I just ignore her. I think its kinda cool, I mean, having a prison around might straighten up some of the kids in town. I also believe that it will increase the growth of our town both in population and economically. 9: I do not know, I guess I wouldn’t mind it, this town does have some problems here and there but then again, which town doesn’t.
I guess it would straighten us up as a community a bit. It would also put us on the “map.” On the other hand our town is highly populated by the elderly or “the older crowed” and they would not be as pleased as others would.
