		ATLANTA -- State prison officials are working on a plan to turn the Lee Arrendale State Prison in Alto into a women's prison, according to a report in Friday's edition of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
		Most of Arrendale's 1,200 adult male prisoners will be sent to prisons through the state and its 11 juveniles, ages 13 to 16, will remain at Arrendale, segregated from the women inmates, the newspaper reported.
		Prison officials said the moves are motivated by economics as much as the need to remedy problems at the Alto prison.
