U.S. plans 2 prisons in Haiti's provinces

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti -- The U.S. government is planning to build two prisons in Haiti's countryside that will cost up to $10 million.

Carl Siebentritt is director of the Narcotics Affairs Section at the U.S. Embassy in Port-au-Prince. He says the State Department will build a prison in each of the coastal towns of Petit Goave and Cabaret as part of an effort to reduce overcrowding in Haiti's prison system.
