Convert the prison to housing. The cells are probably the size of a NYC Apartment.

NO, It's Not moving. With all the new schools there, the schools plan on making use of it. The start of each new semester, they plan of taking all the students through the prison. They see it as a motivation to do their best in school, so they don't end up there. Any troublemakers, get a special tour as added incentive. If they're bad enough, they get to spend a day in the hold. I heard there's legislation coming. Honest truth. I heard this from a very reliable source the other night at City Fire.

And it will be golf cart accessible.

Seriously????

It’s a federal prison - if it were to be sold, it would have to go through congress and bureau of prisons - pretty sure that could not be kept quiet.
According to Wikipedia, it 1600 acres.

Building a new prison would take years - maybe a decade.
That prison is huge, with a lot of cement walls and cement buildings - it would cost a fortune to knock down.

Welcome to the new Coleman Recreation Center.

I'm not sure where some of you get your information, but you are way off base. I have a cousin that is friend's with a well connected insider that has confirmed that is the site of the new Katie Belles. The big excitement is that there is ample parking and they are looking at valet service is one desired. Can't wait!

Rumors are typically not fact but "wannabees" who think they know more about the topic at hand. I worked for The Bureau of Prisons for 25 years, as did my husband.

Points: 1. there are thousands of inmates at Coleman, so where do they put the inmates? All BOP facilities are overcrowded so moving them is not an option.
2. So why not build another prison for Coleman inmates? It would take YEARS (I mean YEARS) to find and build another facility.
3. Coleman has 5 different facilities and is the largest federal prison in the system. It cost millions of dollars to complete. It would take $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ to tear it all down.
4. Think of all the staff (2,000+) used to fulfil the mission of the BOP at Coleman. Staff are already working overtime due to staff shortages. This is their livelihood...where would they put ALL staff, especially those who are local and plan to work their entire career at Coleman? They didn't do anything to warrant termination. The BOP would not do that...they take care of their staff (its no picnic). Generally 2 big "no-nos" to lead to firing a staff member would be sleeping with an inmate (Yuck..its also a federal offense which can lead one not only termination but federal time and becoming a felon) and bringing drugs into the institution.

So I say all this to debunk the rumor that TV is buying Coleman. They are NOT, atleast with my train of thought. But again, it makes no sense.

Nextdoor is a site for news, humor and items of interest. If you are someone who can't tell the difference between humor and news you need to shy away from sites like this. Jokes about a Federal Prison are just attempts at humor. If you thought the prison was moving I've got an expensive bridge I'd like to sell you. No, seriously you should not be giving me your credit card number.

Sounds like a rumor dropped by the Developer.

Will be converted into the New Villages Condo Complex, currently they are surveying where the pool and pickleball courts will be placed!
Naurally, golf cart accessible.
