Governor Larry Rhoden’s prison task force recently held their first meeting to discuss the need to upgrade the men’s penitentiary system.
Yankton Police Chief, Jason Foote, who is on the prison task force, says the task force had an opportunity to tour the current prison.
Foote says the task force also had the opportunity to listen to politicians and citizens, and one of the biggest needs they stressed was improvements to the prison’s rehabilitation program.
The task force will meet again later this month on April 29th.
