OK, just a question, who & what are they doing with the inmates then? I agree with what you say. Are they saying, turning the inmates lose?

After intense thought, about half are more or less average.

Coleman opened in 2001, (United States Penitentiary, Coleman - Wikipedia) is a new, modern prison. For sale? It may be a package deal, one prison plus oceanfront property in Kansas.

Everyone, get a grip on rumors. In 2012 there was page after page of chatter on this website about the new 100 store indoor mall, with Macy's as an anchor, that was definitely coming here. They knew it was true because a neighbor met a guy in a bar that met a guy playing golf that knew someone that heard from a friend and, well you get the picture. The posts even had the name of the mall - it was to be Antrim Dells.

Name sound familiar? As you leave Brownwood and cross Buena Vista look at the villa complex in front of you. The name is Antrim Dells.

Coleman is a new, multi-billion-dollar facility that is not going away.

Was driving last sunday up I 75….around bushnell, i looked to my right and i see a huge building going up…i thought perhaps a distribution center. Then I saw a sign…Commercial Properties of the Villages….thought to myself, they are down here now!

Today, gassing up at the circle K at lake deaton, i saw a prison guard in uniform filling his car. Asked him, i heard a rumor that the prison will be closing…he said..in year or two.

So..is it a rumor or not?

The Feds do close prisons

Rumor probably created by the same guy that said The Villages are buying the Prison.

Maybe the rumor starter was confused by this headline?

Plan To Close, Consolidate Florida Prisons Would Be 'A Devastating Blow' To Rural Areas

Bogie, good research. The confusion could have started from such a headline. Of course, Coleman is a Federal prison. Spot on.

Coleman Prison will become the newest Town Square. Featuring a Hotel, and themed restaurants with the staff wearing guard uniforms and striped prisoner jumpsuits. Can't wait!

We are the ones deep into negotiations.

It is for guys who just want to get away, we will sponsor card games with more or less adult entertainment and anything else where we could make a buck.

Stay tuned for further developments.

No body in their right mind would purchase an old prison, the demolition costs would be astronomical. To believe the "family" would even think about it is ludicrous.
