SIOUX FALLS, SD (KELO.com) — Local opposition is building against proposed sites for a new men’s state penitentiary. Lincoln County residents packed the County Commission meeting room Tuesday night, voicing their opposition to all of the proposed sites in Lincoln County. Commissioners approved a compromise statement, informing the state that any prison site needs to comply with the county’s comprehensive growth plan. Last week, Sioux Falls City officials came out against all four sites that have been proposed within city limits.
