File - This Feb. 19, 2013 file photo shows the Utah State Prison in Draper, Utah. Utah lawmakers are taking early steps to find a new home for the state prison that now takes up 700 acres in a high-tech corridor south of Salt Lake City. And prison officials warn the new site shouldn't stray too far out of town, contending they need a robust workforce nearby, plus plenty of volunteers. A panel tasked with recommending a new site convened Thursday morning at the Utah Capitol. After more than a decade of discussion, state lawmakers and Gov. Gary Herbert signed off on the move earlier this year. (AP Photo/Rick Bowmer, File)
