Northpoint Training Center Prison Rebuilding

• (Kentucky)  Workers are making steady progress in rebuilding Northpoint Training Center, where most of the buildings were destroyed or damaged in a fiery riot nearly two years ago. Construction on two buildings is in full swing and scheduled for completion by next May, according to The Advocate-Messenger. The $18 million building project includes a visitation building and a building to house food, education and medical services along with a library and canteen. All dorms have been repaired, but inmates are housed in three of them while three others are used for other services. When the projects are complete, all six dorms will again be used to house inmates. The central Kentucky prison's population is about 650 but will return to the same 1,256 capacity at the time of the riot.
