California says no to using Michigan's Standish prison
August 18, 2009
The state of Calfornia, according to the Wall Street Journal, has turned down Michigan's offer to house an overflow of its prisoners in our state's soon-to-be-shuttered prison in Standish.
Michigan's Department of Corrections apparently was asking too much to house California's prisoners and could find a better deal in other states.
What does this mean for the federal government's interest in using the Standish prison to house Guantanamo prisoners who are being held for their role or suspected role in terrorist activities?
