Jail - Section Edit and Questionable Statements[edit]

I saw that Los Angeles County Court was misspelled, it was Los Angeles Courty Court.

The section also has the statement below, which seems to be superfluous, if it is also inflammatory. Perhaps this sentence is WP:WEASEL.

some websites contended that the APF was patrolling the streets illegally and included that APF's presence there "harks back to the private paramilitary forces that helped Adolf Hitler rise to power in Nazi Germany", as well as suggesting that the people of the Hardin may be the future inmates of the facility.[12]

The material is restored precisely because it demonstrates that substantial and widespread coverage of the situation was being driven in no small part by wild and unfounded speculation on conspiracy sites that were receiving millions of hits. The existence of the rumor mill became a major part of the actual story.Activist (talk) 14:54, 27 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

~~It appears that this section conflicts with~~ It is confusing to read the this article American_Police_Force#Taking_over_a_Montana_jail_facility and then read the Jail section of this article.

The Jail section has been entirely removed twice by anonymous poster 24.72.207.14 who added completely unfounded allegations as his or her reason for doing so.

In fact, the jail has given the previously relatively unknown town international notoriety. It will be one of the failed prison projects featured this evening on CNBC's "Billions Behind Bars," special on the for-profit prison and "detention" industry.

Traditionally, “Not in My Backyard” was the resounding response small towns gave to developers proposing a new prison for their town. But today, in some areas that are hard-pressed for jobs, welcome mats are being rolled out to prison companies. In some cases new prisons have brought new jobs and new hope; in other cases the results have been disappointing. CNBC profiles the town of Hardin, Montana, which accepted an appealing sales pitch to build a private prison that was supposed to bring jobs and much-needed revenue. Completed in 2007, Two Rivers Detention Center sits fully stocked but has never housed a single prisoner, leaving the desperate town of Hardin even worse off. Meanwhile, the prison developer and its hand-picked construction company were paid nearly 20 million dollars for their work.Activist (talk) 23:51, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

How big should the jail section be?[edit]

We have seen editors add to the jail section, trim it down, and even delete it entirely. How big should it be?

I think the section should stay in the article but it should be pared down to the bone as there is a main article: Two Rivers Regional Correctional Facility. We can provide a link to that article using the Template:Main. It should be one paragraph or possibly two, not more. Binksternet (talk) 23:19, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I trimmed the section waaay back. Binksternet (talk) 18:18, 2 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
