I have never been keen on a prison move. But when it happens, I hope that the State Auditor's Office will watch the process very carefully. The prison relocation needs to be a totally transparent and competitive process for disposing of land, demolition, land acquisition, design and construction. There can't be any direct or indirect benefits to the officials who have been involved in the decision-making. Maybe we should add a few extra beds at the new prison to accommodate those that do.
