## Resource

New York’s proposed $3,000-bed mega-prison vanished from its website after fierce backlash from lawmakers who argued the state should fix existing prison problems—like staffing and safety—before building more. With no location even chosen, the plan was quietly scrapped amid growing criticism over priorities in corrections.
