The sluggish economy is having a big impact on Tennessee prisons.
The new Morgan County Correctional Complex is set to open this summer, when the old Brushy Mountain facility closes. That was expected to increase capacity by some 1,400 inmates, but now, because of budget concerns, fewer than half of the units in the complex will be available.
Also, Nashville Based, Corrections Corporation of America is suspending work for now on a new 2,000 bed prison in Hartsville.
