The state Department of Corrections plans to stop sending inmates to private, out-of-state prisons and to begin shipping home the 1,200 inmates at those facilities this summer, according to Secretary Eldon Vail.
...... The out-of-state transfers also put more pressure on prisons because CCA -- the largest private jailer in the country -- will take only healthy, well-behaved inmates.
