Whats Happening at CCAs Mineral Wells Prison?
Several readers have contacted us over the last month with concerns about developments at Corrections Corporation of America’s Mineral Wells pre-parole transfer facility. The facility, housing state prisoners awaiting transfer, was the site of a major multi-day disturbance last fall. This time readers, including some with family members in the prison, are worried that CCA is constructing metal coverings over the dorm windows, creating a safety hazard. One reader sent pictures to illustrate the point.
