The comment by Wolfpack shows his/her ingnorace regarding this matter. In particular, Toreson Industries has 100 acres of commercial property for retail shops and 84 acres of multifamily property for workforce housing. See www.toreson.com. We intend on (and completed feasibility studies on) importing the workforce from Las Vegas for The Lincoln Center for Restorative Justice and the retail shops needed for infrastructure, which together will create over 400 jobs. Regarding water rights; he also shows his/her ignorance since they are not administered by the County, but rather, the Nevada Department of Water Resources http://water.nv.gov/. Wolfpack should also control his/her slanderous remarks. James S. Toreson
This editorial is fatally flawed. The Rachel project is based on out of state offenders. Moreover, Nevada does not have a program for outsourcing prisoners to private prisons in Nevada. The editorial staff of the Las Vegas Sun should be ashamed of themselves for such sloppy jounalism. Also, the articles on this subject that were previously published and written by Mr. Trask also were laden with statements that were factually incorrect. If you have any respect for your newspaper, you should correct this by publishing a article correcting these mistruths. James S. Toreson

I totally agree with the comments of geezelouise, that is why the Rachel project, if allowed to proceed, is going to focus on rehabilitaion, following California's new program under its new law AB900. See http://www.cce.csus.edu/conferences/oig/.... Our project will be named "The Lincoln Center for Restorative Justice" and will have a faith-based component and a University based "Criminal Justice" component. The goal is to reduce recidivism from two thirds to less that one third. This program is humane, cost effective, safe, and in keeping with all spiritual teachings. James S. Toreson
