Community reacts to correctional facility closing

BRIDGEWATER TOWNSHIP, SUSQUEHANNA COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — A big change for a local prison, it's set to close its doors later this month.

The Susquehanna County Correctional Facility opened its doors in 1994, designed to house over 100 prisoners, but now, with only around 20 prisoners currently incarcerated, the facility is shutting down.

Budgets, bail reform, and building repairs: Susquehanna County Commissioners say these were the main factors which led them to their decision to close the facility later this month.
