I am willing to bet the proponents of building a private prison meant to detain up to one-thousand undocumented immigrants in Pendleton Co., WV would have preferred a nice, quiet game of inside baseball to accomplish their ends.
However, they are not going to get one, and from what I have been able to find out from ACLU of WV members in the area (we're everywhere!) this proposal is about to get a chilly reception at tonight's public meeting in Franklin. We will not be able to attend this evening, but I hope the county officials pushing this initiative haven't gotten themselves overly committed. There is a whiff of "done deal" in the air even though it looks more and more as if a substantial portion, dare I say majority, of the Pendleton County community has no interest in playing host to this facility or the private prison contracting firm that is pushing it.
