TALLAHASSEE — Sen. Paula Dockery of Lakeland is asking Senate leaders pushing a prison privatization plan to cough up the per-prisoner costs for the private prisons already operating in the state.
In a letter to Sens. John Thrasher, R-St. Augustine, and Budget Chairman J.D. Alexander, R-Lake Wales, she says her requested requests for such information have been unfruitful. The chamber gridlocked earlier this week over the South Florida privatization bill, without the votes to pass the sweeping proposal.
