Nevada lawmakers will hear a bill this week that would prohibit state and local government agencies from incarcerating Nevada offenders in privately operated prisons. No private prisons currently exist in Nevada, but the bill would affect a handful of the 13,300 prisoners overseen by the state because 46 of them are currently in private prisons outside of Nevada. Gov. Brian Sandoval proposed this year to move 200 more people to private prisons to relieve overcrowding. The bill will be heard Tuesday.
