HARRISBURG – Sen. Wayne Langerholc, Jr. (R-35) joined a bipartisan group of legislative colleagues and members of the Pennsylvania State Corrections Officers Association (PSCOA) to oppose the proposed closures of certain correctional facilities in the commonwealth, including the Quehanna Boot Camp in Clearfield County and SCI Rockview in Centre County.
“Quehanna Boot Camp and SCI Rockview are well established, well-functioning efficient facilities. They need to stay in operation,” said Langerholc. “I stand with all the men and women who put on the uniform daily and will work to put an end to this ill-conceived notion.”
The Pennsylvania Department of Corrections will hold a listening session on the governor’s proposed closure of Quehanna Boot Camp on Thursday, April 10, at 5 p.m. at Community Alliance Church, 34136 Frenchville Karthaus Highway, in Karthaus.
The department will hold a listening session on the proposed closure of SCI Rockview on Tuesday, April 15, at 5 p.m. at Bald Eagle High School, 710 South Eagle Valley Road, Wingate.
If you would like to provide feedback to the Department of Corrections but you cannot attend the listening sessions on April 10 or April 15, the department is also accepting comments via email to ra-crdocclose@pa.gov or by voicemail to 888-316-8950.
