St. Louisans will have the opportunity to vote Tuesday, February 3, on a $6,500,000 bond issue to finance the construction of a 400-prisoner expansion of the Workhouse which is in an isolated location at 7600 Hall Street in north St. Louis.
Plans call for a two-story concrete block addition with 200 single cells and 100 two-man cells. Single cells 7 feet by 10 feet and double cells 14 feet by 10 feet are contemplated to meet Federal standards. The facility also will include quarters for interview of prisoners, visiting facilities, dining capacity, classification areas, and administrative offices.
This addition will be erected east of the present Workhouse facility and is designed to make use of existing kitchen facilities. Additional exterior security is also planned, including erection of an inner fence. If the bond issue is approved, it is estimated that the new facility would be ready for occupancy in mid-1977.
Passage of the bond issue will add 4 cents per $100 assessed valuation to the property tax rate for the next six years. On a home with a market value of $25,000 the actual additional cost will be $3.30 for each of the next six years.
Senior citizens over 65 years of age and with an annual income of less than $7,500 will not have to pay any net increase to retire the bonds if they avail themselves of tax refunds available under the new state “circuit breaker” law.
