Governor Larry Rhoden’s Prison Reset Task Force met earlier this week, and is weighing four options for a new state penitentiary.
Yankton Police Chief, Jason Foote, who is on the task force, says that includes sites in Mitchell and Worthing.
Foote says the other options under consideration are a potential expansion of the Mike Durfee State Prison in Springfield, and land next to the state penitentiary in Sioux Falls.
The task force has a final meeting on July 8th before presenting to the legislature on July 22nd.
