PRIVATE PRISONS--Tim Shafer, of the Ohio Civil Service Employees Association, gestures during a news conference concerning his group's proposal to deprivatize the North Coast Correctional Treatment Facility, at the Ohio Statehouse, in Columbus, Ohio, on Wednesday, Feb. 21, 2001. The Service Employees International Union and OCSEA say that the state could save over $4 million if the Grafton prison were to be managed by the Dept. of Rehabilitation and Correction.
