State closing unneeded Frankfort, KY prison Few remaining low custody inmates will be transferred to other facilities, including county jails. Frankfort facility will be transformed to new Kentucky State Police Academy "Thanks to strategic efforts and initiatives over the past 3 1/2 years, we've reversed Kentucky's inmate population trend, going from first in the nation in the rate of our felon population growth, to a sustained drop in population of more than 1,600 inmates," Gov. Beshear said. "Added to that, the recent passage of HB 463 promises a continued downward impact on the inmate population. The success of these initiatives provides, for the first time, the opportunity to close a minimum security facility, and taking a 24-7 penal facility off line." -GOV. STEVE BESHEAR News from Justice & Public Safety Cabinet FRANKFORT, KY (2011-05-09) - Governor Steve Beshear today announced that a now unneeded state prison facility in Franklin County will close by the end of the current fiscal year. The complex will be converted into a needed modern training facility for the Kentucky State Police (KSP). The Department of Corrections will immediately begin the process of moving inmates from the 205-bed Frankfort Career Development Center, a minimum security state-run prison, to county jails, halfway houses and community supervision, Gov. Beshear said. All inmates will be relocated by June 30, 2011. Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2011-05-09 23:35:05 | Comments | Printable version

LWC Seminar to focus on pay and benefits for new businesses By Duane Bonifer COLUMBIA, KY - Entrepreneurs need to make sure that they align their employee pay and benefits with the business plan. Techniques for this will be the focus of a free seminar on compensation and benefits as part of the Lindsey Wilson College series of seminars on Build Your Own Job at 11amCT on Wednesday, May 11, in the Roberta D. Cranmer Dining Center, 430 Helen Flatt DR, Columbia, KY. At the seminar, would-be business owners will learn that if they pay too much for salaries and benefits, they can run out of money. But pay too little and risk not getting the level of talent needed to beat the competition. Presenters at the seminar - students in a class on pay and benefits in the LWC business program - will show ways to find the middle ground on salary decisions.
