Business as usual<br />
… at the prison<br />
Operators place prison<br />
housing units in Ione<br />
There’s no question it’s an unusual job.<br />
First, there’s the location. Several signatory<br />
crane companies have been working at the<br />
Mule Creek State Prison (MCSP) in Ione for<br />
several months now. Then, there’s the work.<br />
Members onsite, such as Bragg Crane<br />
Operator Randy Fall and Oiler Logan<br />
Reding, are setting 110-ton pre-cast<br />
prison cells on the property that closely<br />
resemble mini pre-fab homes. This work<br />
is part of a larger project related to<br />
the adoption of Senate Bill (SB) 1022,<br />
which authorized the California<br />
Department of Corrections and<br />
Rehabilitation (CDCR) to build<br />
several housing-unit facilities<br />
in California, including two<br />
792-bed facilities at MCSP.<br />
While Reding noted that<br />
this kind of work is not<br />
something he’s done before,<br />
it’s still just business as<br />
usual. Crews have had<br />
some delays due to<br />
ground conditions but<br />
should be onsite for<br />
another three or four<br />
months.<br />
“There’s been<br />
about six cranes out<br />
here,” Reding said.
