I submitted a question about a month ago regarding the history of moratoriums on prison and jail expansion (construction). is there any info? i originally asked for info for the recent past, but it could be helpful to know about the last 30 years (during the drug war years). so, could you please help find out what states/cities may have tried to submit legislation calling for a moratorium on prison/jail construction and expansion in the united states?

the coalition i am a part of (the statewide harm reduction coalition at www.stopchicopeejail.org) is filing legislation this january and would love to know who else has attempted such legislation.
