- Two_Rivers_Detention_Facility abstract "Promoted by a consortium of mostly Texan bond brokers, builders, architects and operators, and despite an initial economic feasibility analysis that concluded it would not be a viable project, and despite substantial legislative obstacles, construction began on the Two Rivers Regional Correctional Facility, located in Hardin, Montana, in 2006.The jail was completed by September 2007. It fostered the hopes of creating 100-plus jobs and stimulating the economy of the small town of 3,400.The jail, a 464-bed minimum security detention facility, was built with $27.4 million in high interest revenue bonds issued by the city's new industrial development corporation, the Two Rivers Port Authority (TRA) and sold by bond brokers Municipal Capital Markets and Herbert J. Sims.Because of various legal and political issues, Two Rivers Authority and the original operator were unable to obtain any contracts to house inmates. Although five interest payments had been made from the bond issue's reserve fund, the bonds were declared in technical default in May 2008.[citation needed]In the fall of 2008, unsuccessful at attracting contracts from various counties, states, tribes and federal agencies, it was proposed to the State of Montana to house a sexual offender program. Hardin's incomplete bid was twice rejected. A Montana sheriff had described it as "a warehouse."In January 2009, the two-year contract was not renewed and the operator, Community Education Centers/CiviGenics, withdrew its last two employees that it had imported from Texas.[citation needed]In March 2009, the Hardin City Council voted 5-0 to back a proposal to bring detainees from the United States detention camps at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to Hardin, although state congressional leaders had opposed the plan.On September 3–4, 2009, the economic development director, the attorney and the vice president of Hardin's TRA negotiated a draft contract with a Southern Californian confidence man, “Michael Hilton.” Hilton was an ex-convict Serbian immigrant with more than a dozen aliases and criminal convictions, who lost many fraud, rescission and unlawful detainer cases with over $1 million in adverse judgments against him.Despite the furor, elected and appointed officials from Hardin continued to vouch for the viability of the contract and for Hilton’s alleged reformation.The bondholding investors and trustee, whose agreement was necessary for the contract to be accepted, hesitated to comply.By January 2010, the TRA had hired its fifth director who was laboring to find inmates for the empty jail. There remained about $814,000 remaining in a “reserve fund” managed by the trustee of the bonds sold to build the facility. That money was earmarked to pay insurance, heat, electricity and the bare minimum of services the building requires to be operational."Kim Hammond, mayor of Hardin, has warned cities...to tread lightly when considering the proposals brought forth by private companies like Corplan." As of April of 2014, the jail had never held a prisoner, but Emerald Corrections of Louisiana renewed efforts to obtain contracts to get it operational, holding a job fair to recruit potential employees.In October 2011, Two Rivers Authority responded to a Request for Information by the Montana Department of Corrections. In late January 2012, the Montana Department of Corrections issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) seeking 120 beds for special-needs inmates. The RFP was cancelled and DOC Director Mike Ferriter that it might not be reissued at all.".
