[QUOTE="John6185, post: 4196295, member: 25679"] What do you folks think of the city considering putting the new jail at the Stockyards? It's a billion dollar industry, approximately 200 personnel are employed there and it is really a national monument that should remain intact. Presidents have visited the Cattleman's Cafe which has been in operation for a round 100 years. they'ar nto going to shout down Cattleman's or close he Stockyard but the site appears to be mighty close to them. I think the jail should be as close to the OK Courthouse as possible, I can visualize prisoners escaping from a van and causing manhunts. It certainly can't be close to a school.
