On the subject of the new state prison, Nazarenko was asked directly where he stood on building the new prison in Franklin County. He gave credit to that being a good question knowing it will be a “hot topic” during the next session. Nazarenko stated, “we definitely, as a state, have an issue with our penal system.” He continues, “we’ve got a problem even bigger than just a prison is going to solve.”
The question was asked if he thought he could support those funds being redirected to Calico Rock’s prison for a prison expansion as opposed to a brand new facility.
