SCI-Forest to Expand

An expansion to the state correctional institution in Forest County is part of a planned $862 million expansion that will add nearly 9,000 beds to the system.

The expansion also includes two new state prisons in Montgomery County, just outside Philadelphia.

Together they'll have 4,100 beds for medium-security and maximum-security inmates. They're expected to open in three years.

New prisons are also planned for Centre and Fayette counties. Besides the Forest County facility, other expansions are planned for Crawford, Indiana and Northumberland counties.
