As Jobs Disappear In Coal Country, A Giant Prison Is Pitched As The Solution
But communities in this rural Kentucky county are pushing back

But things are set to change here in rural Roxana, Kentucky.

In late March, the Federal Bureau of Prisons announced its intent to construct a 700-acre high-security prison on this remote stretch of land in Letcher County. The nearly $500 million idea has been in the works for years – pushed almost single-handedly by Rep. Hal Rogers (R-Ky.) in his employment “crusade” – despite the fact the Bureau of Prisons and the Trump administration have expressed doubts about the necessity of a new federal prison.
Proponents of prisons say they bring hundreds of jobs and can lead to economic revival. However, the federal inmate population is declining and evidence suggests prisons are not an economic boon to struggling coal communities. Although the Letcher County project moves forward, some Appalachians are pushing back.

Taint enuf nigru men around these here parts and lockin up our own, ticks off the wife!!

Wyoming/northern plains is the real coal country... That is where most of America’s coal is mined...

Duh! Just like those Harley folks! Like those Carrier folks.

Not to mention 55% of Americans saw NO change in their paychecks as of JUN.

Now come their increases in health insurance premiums

Mid-Atlantic Ports Benefit From 2017 Coal-Export Revival

Hampton Roads is the biggest coal-exporting port in the country. Baltimore is right behind it. And they're both in the vanguard of what appears to be a U.S. coal-export revival.

Seems there is quite a bit of east coast coal getting shipped. Don't know about usage by power plants.

Such a large problem might solve the problem to put those who rise up and become criminal when Trump is forced out of office.

Immaterial. The tailing down of coal has a primary energy producer is irrevocable.

Oh it's not what you want to hear, but it's very important.

The coal industry fell badly under Obama. Saying that Trump hasn't done anything for it in a year is what is immaterial.

 

[JakeStarkey]

the coal industry has been falling since the mid 1980s, airplane mechanic, and Trump has not and cannot do anything for it.

That is what is immaterial.
