Massive ASP-Kingman prison expansion ahead of schedule

The MTC-operated Arizona State Prison – Kingman is some two months ahead on its $200 million expansion.  The minimum-security prison is expected to open 2000 new beds in January.   The project broke ground last October.

Scheduled for completion on January 10, 2010, prison officials hope to begin moving inmates in the very next day.

The new complex is situated southeast of the existing 1508-bed facility, about 22 miles west of Kingman on Interstate 40 near Golden Valley.

The new complex will have the capacity to house 2000 more adult male inmates. It consists of one administrative building, one support building, 10 dormitories, four program buildings, one 80-cell detention building, a medical building, a warehouse building and a sally port to accommodate vehicles and visitors entering and exiting the prison.

Including both existing and newly constructed buildings, Arizona State Prison – Kingman will have 34 buildings, 759,735 square feet, and 3,508 beds on 90 acres.
