U.S. SEN. WAYNE ALLARD MEETS WITH BUREAU OF PRISONS DIRECTOR OVER SUPERMAX ISSUES
Successful Meeting is a Follow Up from Allard’s Visit to Supermax Last Week |
| |
November 9th, 2006 - LOVELAND, CO - U.S. Sen. Wayne Allard (R-Colo.) met Thursday morning with Federal Bureau of Prisons Director Harley G. Lappin to convey the concerns he received in his meeting with local officials and citizens in Florence last week concerning Supermax.
Allard conducted an extensive tour of the Supermax facility on Monday, Oct. 30 and met with local law enforcement, prison guards and community officials afterward to hear their concerns regarding prison operations.
“I had a very productive conversation with Director Lappin addressing the concerns raised to me from my meeting in Florence last week and sharing the observations from my tour of Supermax,” said Allard.
“Director Lappin informed me that since August, 11 new correctional officers have been added to Supermax, and seven new officers will be added by the end of this month,” said Allard. “He also committed to work with local law enforcement officials in Freemont and El Paso counties to improve communications between the prison and the surrounding communities.”
In addition, Allard addressed the issue of a perimeter fence and the funding required to build one. Next week, Allard will visit with U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales to seek his support for Allard’s efforts to add $12 million to the Commerce, State and Justice Appropriations bill to fund a perimeter fence at Supermax.
“I will be following up on my visit today with Bureau of Prisons Director Lappin with Attorney General Alberto Gonzales next week,” added Allard. “I am going to seek his support for my efforts to get funding needed for the perimeter fence during my meeting with him.”
