Expansion of W.Va. prison to create 40 jobs
WELCH, W.Va. -- McDowell County officials are working to expand the Stevens Correctional Center, a move that will allow the county to house 135 additional state inmates and will create 40 jobs.
McDowell County Economic Development Authority executive director Rachel Lester says the county is in the process of acquiring an existing medical building and a private business as part of the two-phase, $7 million expansion project.
Lester says the expansion of the medium-security prison will help ease the overcrowding in the state's prison system. She says the project is fully supported by the Division of Corrections.

It is entirely too much when an employee is required to work 48 hours in 4 days plus another 12-hour compulsory shift-–leaving employees working many times at least 60 hours in 5 days or one week.
Surely there are laws pertaining to mandatory extra shift work.
