In the past 10 years, Pennsylvania has closed SCI Pittsburgh, SCI Graterford, and SCI Retreat.  In addition, two more are scheduled for closure in 2025: SCI Rockview and Quehanna Boot Camp.  These correctional facilities often encompass many acres of land that can be sold after the facility closes.  However, the current procedure for selling the land does not ensure adequate transparency and fairness in the bidding process.
 
Our legislation will address this issue by establishing a process with the Office of Attorney General providing oversight.  Notice of the sale would be published in the Pennsylvania Bulleting and bid information would be available to the public.  The Office of the Attorney General would review the bids and approve the sale.
 
Join us in providing transparency in selling this state-owned land.
