Oklahoma Watch has reported that CoreCivic is in negotiations to reopen two closed prisons in Oklahoma as U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facilities, with details revealed during a quarterly earnings call last week.
Keaton Ross, an investigative reporter for Oklahoma Watch, said the CEO of CoreCivic leaked the news, indicating they are working alongside the federal government.
Ross said he broke the story after noticing open positions for CoreCivic's closed facilities in Sayre and Watonga.

Tidbit about the movie Oklahoma. Singer Kenny Rogers said as a kid he was in awe of a state where the corn was a high as an elephant’s eye. Then he found out the cornfield filming was done in Arizona.
Sort of deflated Oklahoma to him.
The “Okie Pokey”.

I think you won the thread. :-o
It would be a good place to open those facilities. Not many illegals walking around in that part of OK, if any. Any escapees would stick out like a sore thumb.
Sounds like a plan.
Some of us prefer an alternative to the term “Okie”. It’s a Steibeckian thing.
It’s cool though. Go ahead and have a little fun with it. :)
Yes good deals tend to do that to them.
