Leavenworth County commissioners vote against taking over private prison

It appears the Leavenworth County government will not be taking over a private prison. Commissioners voted Wednesday to notify CoreCivic of their decision not to move forward with a proposal from the company. “I don’t see any way we can do this,” Commissioner Doug Smith said. CoreCivic officials had proposed the county take over the operation of the company’s Leavenworth Detention Center, which houses pretrial detainees for the U.S. Marshals Service. Company officials made the proposal after President Joe Biden issued an executive order in January that prohibits the U.S. attorney general from renewing Department of Justice contracts with privately-operated detention facilities. The U.S. Marshals Service is an agency of the Justice Department.
