• RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) -- A $5.6 million minimum-security prison is opening in Rapid City.
• The Black Hills Correctional Transition Center is the result of more than eight years of planning and construction, and also a lawsuit that ended up before the state Supreme Court.
• The prison that was dedicated Tuesday is for inmates who are being transitioned back into society. It can house about four times more prisoners than the temporary minimum-security facility in Rapid City. Inmates will move in by the end of the

month.
• In 2010, a landowner near the prison site said the state violated the law by failing to hold required public hearings before buying the land. Both a circuit judge and state Supreme Court justices disagreed.
