GROESBECK, TX â Limestone County has sold the prison it built several years ago.
For years, the prison made money, until business conditions changed. Now the county and the contractor have worked out what they call a win-win for taxpayers.
When Limestone County put out the for-sale sign on the prison it built, taxpayers like Willie Johnson practically jumped for joy.
âWhat do you think about the county finally selling the prison? asked reported Dennis Turner. Well I m kinda glad to see that happen. It s been a sore thumb for years,â replied the cafe owner.
