Summary
Federal prison closures loom as the Bureau of Prisons shuts down La Tuna complex in Texas and five other facilities nationwide, citing a $4 billion maintenance backlog and chronic underfunding. Over 700 inmates will be impacted, with staff reductions pending. Facilities like Beaumont, Lexington, and Petersburg will see staff reassigned, while Morgantown and Duluth will downgrade to lower-security satellite camps. The move aims to fix decades of decay and refocus resources on safety and security.
