She says the prisoners from Coleman were going to be transferred to the federal prison in Marion County and TV was going to buy Coleman Prison. This sounds improbable to me because I can’t imagine why would the federal govt. sell their largest prison to TV. It’s not like the property is owned by the county or the state, but by the federal govt. who could care less about TV. But maybe the prison was for sale? I might be a blockhead, but I don’t see the problem with having the school across the street from the prison. Anyone know the facts of this situation?
The prison was there 1st. Anyone moving to this area or starting a business knew or should have known about it. If it is was torn down/moved can't imagine how many complaints would be made about WASTING tax dollars.
