some idea of the sort of facility- that- might be built in uxbridge the penitentiary has been just great for the area enthused mr johnston who is the local manager- of brewers retail all our fears were unfounded r r he told the group that local businesses benefitted that more jobs were created arid that the prison staff was an asset to the community neither he nor anyone else the group met with were worried about escaping prisoners oh weve had a few escapes said one of the guards but since weve put the new razor wire up in 1974 nobody wants to try it its really discouraged them only twoprionefs have escaped since then and they were caught within two hours ap- even if they did get out they wouldnt stay in the area several townspeople pointed out theyd want to get away as quickly and quietly as possible lloyd findlay and his wife who live on a farm right next to the jail told about their experiences after it the pen settled in we knew a lot of thought to myself do i have to get them recounted mrs findlay but it wasnt long before a bunch of men came back with the cattle oh there were two guards with them she hastened to explain but they fixed the fence and everything mrs

e surprised reaction of 50 participants in 1974 one tne uxbridge residents of uxbridge being processed said who toured the pen and another after expressing her views on the pam pering of criminals not surprisingly both women had strongly advocated locating the uxbridge penitentiary reception centre somewhere far far from uxbridge- townsfolk viewed the situation s differently first of all they congratulated the group for even being informed before the centre was built the first we knew of it there it was said a resident but although not consulted by the government beforehand met with townspeople afterwards the tour arranged for uxbridge area residents in order to give them an idea of what the proposed uxbridge penitentiary reception centre will be like was paid for by connor
