The department of corrections would like to build another jail - why?

The Register Guard

The department of corrections would like to bulldoze 90 acres near junction city and make way for a new prison and mental hospital.

The project which is expected to begin this spring, will remove 85,000 cubic yards of wetland and replace them by more than 1.13 1,000,000 yards of fill.

The U.S. Army core of engineers is accepting comments from the public on the permit application through February 6. A public hearing may be held in the future however is not currently scheduled.

gee, another new prison…
I wonder if they've also included money to run it in their budget unlike the Wapato jail facility which could not afford to open its doors five years after was built.
