We are not the ones who misunderstood the process...

It is time for the legislators to "nip it in the bud" and stop this prison disaster before it begins!

Don't let our legislators dismiss the human toll this will have on hundreds of residents near Mill Creek Mountain.

We firmly believe this new $1 Billion ask is still a low number. 3000 beds will cost more than that.

We don't think they got their message out they way they hoped they would.

This demonstrates how well Senator King's SB 143 and SB 144 can work for Arkansas. Saving BILLIONS of taxpayer dollars while doing the right thing by the counties of Arkansas.

CALL RIGHT NOW and leave a pink slip for your senator or representative, or all of them. Just be sure to tell them to vote NO on the senate bills trying to silence us. #arpx #arleg #arkdems #argop

🚩🚩🚩Folks, that number is $69 MILLION DOLLARS MORE EACH YEAR for the 3000 inmates housed in the new mega prison planned for Franklin County. That is IN ADDITION to the over $350 MILLION we already spend to incarcerate Arkansans. Arkansas taxpayers CANNOT AFFORD THIS PLAN. #arpx #argop #arleg #adcpio
