(Deer Lodge) Governor Greg Gianforte today joined Montana Department of Corrections (DOC) Director Brian Gootkin to break ground on a $156 million infrastructure investment at the Montana State Prison (MSP).
In 2023, Gov. Gianforte signed into law House Bill 817 which allocated $156 million to expedite the construction of new low-side housing units at the prison.
The project, part of a larger $211 million infrastructure improvement plan, will replace three of the four existing low-security housing buildings with larger, more efficient facilities.
