Prison bust spreads across rural Texas
After boom in private-owned lockups, fewer prisoners means failing facilities
By John MacCormack, San Antonio Express-News

EAGLE PASS - When prison promoters representing the Geo Group came to Maverick County nearly a decade ago, they touted the low-risk, public-private project as a long-term economic driver for this poor, border community.
A detention facility built for federal inmates would create local jobs, a steady cash flow for the county and, once the bonds were paid off, a county-owned prison. And by using a public facilities corporation to borrow the money, taxpayers would be shielded if anything went wrong.
It was an easy money pitch often heard in rural Texas during an era that made the state the private prison capital of the country as companies built more than 50 facilities with as many as 60,000 beds.
Three decades later, the boom is over. And as the public sector's need for private prison beds has diminished, the tally of failing prisons in Texas is increasing, with some already vacant for years.
