That's the problem. This jail was NOT built to be a long term state prison. It is not built to hold federal prisoners. They may be able to squeeze it as federal work camp. But the training center next door to train national and international police, with DNA training mentioned, is ominous. As is there continuation with Deconsolidation and their apparent attempt to continue with this contract according to TPM today. STILL secret investor. This still has legs.
This was built as a low to medium security COUNTY JAIL with large rooms and hallway monitors. All of my research (without any direct connections but similar wording, common employees, etc,) keep leading to biomedical/disease research. I hate to even put this in print; Whatever they had/have planned up there isn't anything nice. All of this crazy stuff and buying off the town, shell company's etc, isn't very nice. Those people who quit will get jobs w/ APrison Planet Forum. But they aren't going to do all of this for just a UNCERTIFIEABLE Jail and a shooting range. Do you think? I don't. This has to be something more. I think we need more hands though. Tracks are being covered daily.
Don't worry there's plenty more where that came from. Take your pick.
This is the biggun. $420 mil. Venus- Eagle program project just got shut down, we need to watch and make sure it doesn't pop up new city new name.

These are just what I casually came across. You can google something like private military military training center, with different variations paramilitary, etc. Theres a couple I can think of I can't find,you can only guess how many are out there. There could be hundreds.

We know CivPol has 1.2 billion to play with.
Check it

Report: Most of $1.2 billion to train Iraqi police unaccounted for
(CNN) -- The U.S. State Department is unable to account for most of $1.2 billion in funding that it gave to DynCorp International to train Iraqi police, a government report said Tuesday.

An International Police Liaison Officer hired by DynCorp stands near new Iraqi police recruits in Falluja, Iraq.
"The bottom line is that State can't account for where it went," said Glenn D. Furbish, who was involved in putting together the 20-page report for the special inspector general for Iraq reconstruction (SIGIR).
The Department of State's Bureau for International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) "did not have the information needed to identify what DynCorp provided under the contract or how funds were spent," the report said.
As a result, the audit agency announced it has suspended its oversight of the agency's project until INL gathers the information.
"Their records are just not detailed," Furbish said Monday in a telephone interview. "From an audit perspective, we've identified the problem; they're working to rectify the problem."
Though Iraqi police have indeed been trained and equipment has been provided under the contract, invoices and supporting paperwork submitted by DynCorp "were in disarray," the report said.
In addition, INL "had not validated the accuracy" of invoices received prior to last October, and "INL does not know specifically what it received for most of the $1.2 billion in expenditures under its DynCorp contract for the Iraqi Police Training Program."
The lack of controls "created an environment vulnerable to waste and fraud," the report said.

Furbish, an accountant by training who spent two years in Iraq, added, "It's like so much else that happened in Baghdad ... there was just a massive quantity of work and too few people in place to do it. They just essentially did not have the staff to monitor what was going on.
"Bills came in; they paid the bills, but they don't know what they paid for and they don't know what they've gotten."
Furbish, who has carried out audits for the Government Accountability Office for three decades, said the projected time line of three to five years to rectify the problem "is not atypical" for U.S. projects carried out in Iraq since the ouster of President Saddam Hussein.
"Baghdad is its own arena," he said. "Contract control has been a major shortcoming across the board."
In addition to having too few properly trained people, problems arose from the difficulties inherent in traveling within Iraq and from "the rush to get reconstruction activities under way before we actually had a full structure in place to manage them," he said.
Asked whether the full structure is currently in place more than four years after the U.S.-led invasion, he said. "It continues to be a problem."
In a letter to SIGIR, INL Acting Assistant Secretary Elizabeth Verville said her agency has made "significant progress in correcting past contract management problems" and "is dedicated to addressing our past contracting problems and systematically strengthening contract management and oversight."
She said invoice processing delays will be reduced as staffing is beefed up in Baghdad.
State Department spokeswoman Susan Pittman said a number of reforms have been made since January. "We are committed to continuous improvement," she said.
The Washington-based staff of four will soon be increased to 11, and the Baghdad-based staff of five will be augmented to seven "as soon as they all have their clearances," she said.
Still, she acknowledged, it will take years to get the paperwork current. "It isn't an easy process," she said.
"There is a huge need, a huge, urgent need and there were not enough people to be able to fill that void," she said. "That is something that we are in the process of doing."
Gregory Lagana, a spokesman for DynCorp, said the company's work in Iraq is a "really complex program. ... We buy weapons, body armor, vehicles, communications equipment -- that all belongs to the State Department."
Sometimes, he said, "it's coded wrong or double-billed. We actually find a lot of that ourselves in the normal auditing process."
Tuesday's report is the second in a series of financial reviews ordered by Congress and carried out by SIGIR looking into large Iraqi Relief and Reconstruction Fund projects.
The first report, issued three months ago, criticized officials with the U.S. Agency for International Development for lack of oversight of their contract with Bechtel. Bechtel is a privately held, U.S. conglomerate of engineering, construction, and project management companies.
The series of at least 10 reports will be finalized by spring, he said. E-mail to a friend E-mail to a friend

The property owner is John Choate, a former Navy SEAL.(4) The 193 acre parcel belonged to his grandfather. The land is hilly, rugged, boulder strewn and "looks like the terrain in Afghanistan,"; he says;(5) he knows, as he served in Afghanistan and Iraq after 9/11 as a “special operations military trainer; he and seven more “special operations…personnel will be involved in the training.(6) The name of this organization is Procinctu Group, Inc.

Some of these terrorist training camps are kind of hard to root out, you only find coverage on local blogs for some. This was gonna be a 900 acre facility. There may be anti private military group out there somewhere that's got a lot of the intel info in a centralized location. There seems to be some Constitutional issues with these staging areas as well. In Montana, its illegal to import armed men into the state.
If the country all gets on the same page on this, the mercs are as good as gone. They are not very popular at all. Seems like more of these projects get shot down than accepted.
Franwood Farms Inc. Withdraws Special Use Permit Request
http://rockdem.blogspot.com/2009/04/training-private-military-in-valley.html
Franwood Farms Inc. withdrew the Special Use Permit request for a 'Corporate Training Center' at 9am on Wednesday, May 13th. This effectively ends the current concern about a paramilitary training facility being located on this property. The Keep Shenandoah County Rural Steering Committee wants to thank our Shenandoah Valley community for your tremendous support in response to this proposed activity.
What's next? We want to continue our opposition to this type of activity from coming into the Valley in the future and to be diligent in safe-guarding the land use for this region. To this end, we will continue with the following activities:
*
Preparation of a set of proposed changes to the Shenandoah County Zoning Ordinances for the definition of a 'Corporate Training Center' and 'School'.
I tried to email Phoenix llc to get the link to their current projects, haven't heard back yet. Maybe someone else can get Steve to email you the link and you can get screenshots for us.
