The Guardian of Unintended Consequences: Senator-Elect Kevin Jensen & The Prison Debacle

Senator-Elect Kevin Jensen is my guest today to inform us about the prison debacle going on concerning the proposal to build a new prison 17 miles away from Sioux Falls at the cost of $800+ million instead of updating the one that already exists plus updating prisons statewide, which would be a more efficient and responsible way to spend taxpayers' money. He also points out the complete lack of transparency and communication from the Dept. of Corrections Under Secretary and her refusal to answer legitimate questions by the Corrections Commission as well as hearing other ideas beyond building this one new prison that defies all logical reasoning in how she wants to accomplish it.
