The crime rate in Chicago has dropped so much that the state has no use for the facility that is located within 150 miles of town? Good news, good news! It would appear that all of those six figure teachers are performing at an amazing level creating productive members of society who abstain from crime. /s
"the Obama administration delivered a $165 million payment Tuesday to a federal court in Rockford, Ill., to buy the Thomson Correctional Center from the state of Illinois, bypassing a Republican congressman from Virginia who has put the brakes on…"
Unknown at this time if GITMO prisoners will be housed there.
Gitmo inmates? More likely he’s planning to put us American citizens in there.
0bama just wants terrorists to make their target America rather than overseas.
More than likely it is an underhanded, if not entirely illegal, attempt to bail out Illinois. Our idiot voters have put state governments in office where The Disaster learned his How to Bankrupt a Government techniques.
This move throws another 165 million into the yawning maw of Illinois finances. Tis a pittance compared to the deficits but greatly appreciated.
Importing terrorism.
Heh, heh, that’s one ugly chicken coming home to roost!!!
Yet.

[Thomson cost $128 million to build in 2001. It was supposed to replace aging lockups around the state, but union workers at those prisons didn't want to move and state officials didn't have the backbone to make them. So Thomson sat mostly empty for a decade. It was declared surplus property in 2010, clearing the way for a sale.]
Obama is paying his home state of Illinois $165 million for 10-year-old prison that cost $128 million to build. And who knows how many millions will be required to renovate it? This is a scam.
follow the money to the latest Obama slumlord bud who has figured out some way to ride this gravytrain, stinks of Axelrod and Rahm
