Rural Prisons: An Update

Calvin L. Beale

Rural America/ Rural Development Perspectives, 1996, vol. 11, issue 2

Abstract: During 1992-94, nonmetro counties continued to acquire prisons at a rate dramatically out of proportion to the percentage of the Nation’s population that lives in such areas. Whether through unsought placement of facilities or aggressive local bidding for them, prison construction and employment have become economically important for many rural areas.
