He married Adella Ruth Ellison on Jan. 4, 1937 in the Salt Lake City LDS Temple. He received his education in the Spanish Fork Schools and had attended Utah Trade Tech College where he studied electricity. He was employer) at Pages in Spanish Fork and also owned and operated a garage in Lake Shore. For 25 years, Mr.

Wood had been employed as an electrician for Trojan Corp. He also had owned and operated his own farm. Mr. Wood was an active member of the LDS Church and at the time of his death, he was a high priest in the Ferris Wood Leland Ward. He alsd served two stake missions and was stake financial clerk.

Mr. Wood had served as stake clerk for 15 years, ward clerk for seven years, president of 70s, stake dance director, superintendent of Young Mens John Raymond Christopher offenders in Utah are currently in the communities under supervision of the Board of Corrections. He emphasized that "99 percent are going to come out of prison and are going to go back into the area from whence they came. The competition will be there." Asked about the demands on water and electric supplies, Mayor Tassainer said he had been assured by state officials that the state would pay the costs of facilities and the impact on local cities. Milliken assured the people in attendance "the Board of Corrections really does listen to local people.

They are citizens just like you and me." Asked about the possibility of locating the prison on Antelope Island in the Great Salt Lake or on the Sevier Desert, Love said Antelope Island had been investigated, and the cost was astronomical. He emphasized that a prison must be close enough to a metropolitan area to have access to services, as well as access to such facilities as hospitals, trade schools, staff, etc. Milliken said the satellite prison would employ 114 staff members and would have an annual budget of $4 million. In response to questions concerning the impact on the mill levy and taxes, County Commissioner Jeril B. Wilson explained that no funds from the local mill levy on property taxes go to the state.

He said the prison would have little or no Impact on property taxes, but would be funded from state sales tax and income tax. In the comment period, many individuals voiced their concerns and their opposition to the prison. Lt. David Lamb of the Sheriff's Department said his department and Sheriff Mack Holley are "totally opposed" to a prison in Utah County. Corrections for consideration.

Milliken emphasized that the board intends to conduct public hearings and to involve local county commissions, city councils and the public in the site selection process. He said the board undoubtedly will appoint a local site selection committee, and Mayor Tassainer asked that the Payson City Council be involved in the appointment of that committee if a site near Payson is one of those chosen. Asked how a prison would affect land values, Gillmore conceded that "it won't do them any good." Milliken told the group the intention is to retain the Draper prison as the maximum security unit and have the satellite prisoners handle medium and minimum prisoners. "They will have very secure rrimeters. It's how you manage inside and the privileges you give the inmates that makes the difference," he reported, although he said maximum security facilities are built differently "with more cement and steel." He said the intention is to put non-violent prisoners in the satellites, along with those who are very near to release.

Milliken said the intention is to have the satellites "nearer to where the inmates live" since prisoners who receive family visits and have strong family support have the best chance of success. Under questioning concerning inmate rehabilitation, Milliken declared that "We've never found a solution to what to do with the criminal. Prisons don't really work." His comments concerning the plan of "easing inmates back into society" from the satellite prison brought strong comments from many individuals concerned about the safety of their children and their families. Steve Love pointed out that the impact exists now, since 10,000 the prisoners and lose control. Steve Love, deputy Director of Corrections, told the group the board has been looking at sites for about seven years.

In 1981 the legislature appropriated $8.5 million, which is half the cost of a new 288-bed facility. The Little Mountain site in Weber County was abandoned because of a chlorine gas problem that could not be resolved, he reported. Love emphasized that the Board of Corrections, who will make the final decision on a prison site, has not viewed any of the potential sites at this time. "The Board is very committed to regionalization," he said. "We went back to the legislature for a second $8.5 million and funds to purchase a site, but our feeling is that it will not be funded in this session because funds are tight," he declared.

He indicated, however, that money will probably be appropriated for site development. Scott Gillmore of the Division of Facilities and Construction Management (DFCM) told the group his agency has viewed hundreds of potential sites, initially from the air. "Wherever there was a 50 acre plot, we looked at it." He said his agency is now in the process of narrowing down the potential sites and determining the options. "It's a complicated process. We must look at cost, types of soil, road access, utilities and supplies, and many other factors before we narrow it down to three or four potential sites," he indicated.

He said funding is probably a year away. Questioned concerning the time schedule, Gillmore said it would take four or five months to do a complete analysis on specific sites. He said the plan will probably be to obtain options on several sites before presenting them to the Board of By Josephine Zimmerman Herald Staff Writer The search for regional prison sites is only in the preliminary stages, 120 people attending a public meeting in Payson were told last night by three state officials. Scheduled by Payson city officials, the meeting was to air concerns people have on the location of a satellite prison adjacent to Payson, according to Mayor Gary Tassainer County Commission Chairman Keith Richan moderated the meeting, emphasizing that it was not a hearing on a prison, but only an informational meeting. He allowed questions for two hours, then a period of comment.

At the conclusion, a vote was taken and those attending indicated overwhelmingly that they did not want a prison in the area. William Milliken, Director of Corrections at the Utah State Prison, told the group that one out of 130 people in the state are under supervision of the Board of Corrections, and the numbers "are growing at a tremendously rapid rate." He said prison population is now 1,326 in a facility with an operational capacity of 900. "It is growing at the rate of 100 per year because the public is demanding more people be locked up and for longer periods of time," he said. Milliken said the prison will be operating near capacity by the time the new 288-bed facility and the 70-bed women's facility now under construction at Draper are finished this fall. "If we keep locking people up at the rate we are, we must keep building more prisons," he declared.

He explained the Board of Corrections' policy of building satellite prisons, saying they are more manageable. He emphasized that in very large prisons the staff cannot keep track of scout master for many years and worked with other youth groups. He conducted ward and stake choirs.
