A plan to build a private prison isn't setting well with some Colorado Springs city leaders.
That's because they didn't know about it.
The State Department of Corrections wants to allow a private company to build the 500 bed pre-parole facility, near the county jail on South Las Vegas Boulevard.
The company, Community Education Centers, built a private halfway house in the same area in 1998.

City leaders say, no one has ever talked to them about building a private prison.
They say the want to talk to the company.
They also say, the prison would be subject to a full development review, including public hearings, before they gave the OK for it to be built.
