\t\t\t\t\nIt\u2019s true the new jail will be offering lots of new things such as a jewelry store, music store, candy\/flower shop, paperback book store with magazines (non-pornographic only), and many other new options for prisoners to purchase.\nWhat is not clear yet is if this fantastic tax-payer owned facility will be open to the public, or just to those who have committed crimes against the public.\u00a0 \u201cWe are working diligently with the sheriff of Denver County as well as the new Mayor to make these amenities accessible to Stapleton residents,\u201d says Dargossi.\u00a0 \u201cWhat they are doing is just too good to keep for only those behind bars.\u201d\nSome prisoners do not want to share the new facility with the public. \u201cMan, some of us have been waiting for this thing for years,\u201d says Denver County Jail resident Fred Lima. \u201cWe earned our time in this place, and now some outsiders gonna be able to walk up in this place and take all the good stuff?\u00a0 Nah, man.\u00a0 That ain\u2019t cool.\u201d\nForrest City and Denver County officials are looking into some ideas along with other interested parties serving on a board which includes prisoners that were nominated by their peers. One option that is currently on the table is to have two sets of pricing, one for prisoners and guards, and then one for those on the outside. Forrest City believes an agreement should be reached by the end of the year. Northfield Mall spokesperson Dylan Beffel declined to be interviewed, but did give the statement, \u201cthe last thing we need is for Stapleton residents to have one more excuse to not come out here.\u201d\u00a0 True dat, Dylan, true dat.]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
