In light of the Office of Public Accountability\u2019s (OPA) report regarding the state of the Department of Corrections, Senator Brant McCreadie continues his pursuit of a new prison facility as a senator in the 33rd Guam Legislature with the introduction of Bill 5-33 (LS) also referred to as \u201cThe Department of Corrections Construction Initiative Act of 2015.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe started this movement in 2013 based on the outcries of all stakeholders and the overall need of a safe prison facility. It is unfortunate that no action was taken on Bill 172-32 in the 32nd Guam Legislature. In this new term as Senator I will continue to push forward for the construction of a new prison facility for the overall safety of the island community. We want a prison that is not only safe to house our prisoners, but safe to work in. We want a prison that can punish and rehabilitate. We want a prison that is constitutionally functional so that we will no longer face the cloud of federal receivership.<\/p>\n
