Obviously Terrill should be investigated, nobody in their right mind would permit the warehousing of thousands of prisoners from far away places in Oklahoma. When a prisoner escapes, does the "for profit" prison go looking for them?

my view-

Another thing.... If these prisoners stab one another, do they go to a local hospital for treatment or surgeries? If they do, is their medical treatment paid for out of our state's budget? I wish the Tulsa World would do some additional research on this and find out for us, something tells me Terrill and the "for profit" prison lobby are in bed together. There has to be more involved in dealing with these out of state convicts than just warehousing them and creating "jobs".

Ol Terrill, seems just a little anxious to get out-of state prisoners here in Oklahoma, Whats up with that? Did he ever get out of that bankruptcy fraud case against him and his wife?

What idiot approved transferring out of state inmates here? Are they released in their home state or here. We know what state they will escape in!

If you want to control what prisoners are house in Oklahoma we need to build new prisons and not for profit private prisons.

For profit prisons are a business and they'll house to the highest bidder. If California is unable to pay for their housing then the business will fail or they'll send them back.

If any of the prisoners escapes then the private prison should get the bill for our law enforcement locating them and returning them.

Angry Citizens,

I'm not a big Terrill supporter but I don't believe he's a crook. As for the TW doing a little more research I agree with you. They shoud.

If Cali had more citizens that were licensed concealed carry permit holders, these numbers might not be so high.

True enough, but they'll find out soon enough how many Okies are healed.

"He said that area of the state needs jobs and that the added prisoners will create jobs with benefits."

Yeah and Cancer creates new jobs in research but I don't see people jumping on the band wagon to get Cancer..... What a bunch of Manure!!!!

It's a communist plot. They're not really prisoners from California. They're liberals infiltrating.

Not really understanding what is going on here.
Even read this one twice..help?

I am not worried about escape so much as these prisoners will be released someday after serving their sentences.
Their family and friends who visit regularly will have already moved here to be close.So when then are released they will more that likely sellte here.
And since 85 percent reoffend within a year we are basically importing crime.

I like myviews post. Like some others, I would be very concerned about CA. paying on time,, or at all.

Also: will CA be shipping their AIDS folks our way, and who pays all their medical expenses??
