BOONVILLE, Ind. — The inmates of the old Warrick County Jail are long gone, but the steel bars that held them remain.
But, with hope, not for much longer.
After about a year of talks, Warrick County officials are trying to seal a deal to give the cells to the Muscatatuck Urban Training Center in Butlerville, Ind.
While the cells haven’t been used for a number of years, the rest of the building currently is occupied by the Warrick County EMS.
The compound, the only one of its kind in the United States, is a secluded, self-contained community, once home to the Muscatatuck State Developmental Center. The 1,000-acre site was turned over to the Indiana National Guard in July 2005 and has been evolving into a full-immersion contemporary urban training environment.
Located in South Central Indianas Jennings County near Butlerville, Muscatatuck Urban Training Center (MUTC) is a secluded, self contained community, once home to the Muscatatuck State Developmental Center. The 1,000 acre site was turned over to the Indiana National Guard in July of 2005 and since has been continually evolving into a full-immersion contemporary urban training environment.
Those utilizing MUTC have access to a 180 acre reservoir and urban infrastructure consisting of 68 major buildings including a school, hospital, dormitories, light industrial structures, single family type dwellings, a dining facility and administrative buildings totaling approximately 850,000 square feet of floor space. Additionally the training area includes an extensive underground utility tunnel system and over 9 miles of roads and streets.
MUTC is a consortium of governmental, public and private entities that are pooling their unique capabilities in order to provide the most realistic training experience possible. Training that can be tailored to replicate both foreign and domestic scenarios and that can be utilized by various civilian and military organizations.
In its first year of operation the facilities at MUTC have been utilized by over 16,000 people from military, government and private agencies and is continually expanding training capabilities for future needs.
"People have tried to explain this, but you can’t really grasp the capability until you see it first hand, this is big…we are spending millions trying to build this, and you already have it in Indiana"

Well at least we will know where some of their command structures will be. And where they will end up if they live through it.

What a sick, sad man, he is so impressed with cages built for other humans. We hold these truths to be self evident…I wonder if he has ever even read the Declaration of independance or the Bill of Rights.

Why was this complex closed down in the first place?

Notice how toward the end of the Vid at 2:03 he says: “it’s a plus and minus for the community”, hmm… Freudian slip?
Then later on he corrects himself and says it’s a win win situation for everyone.

This complex was closed when the county built the new jail to house more peoples, AND because there were too many escapes from the old jail. I’ve lived in newburgh / boonville all of my life and had never heard of the MUTC untill I saw this article in the local paper.
This kind of stuff sure dont look good….

Wunderbar #13.
The Amerikan people have grown like a plague that needs to be wiped out.
Forced the bankers to give them loans they could not afford.
Forced the BIG 3 into bankruptcy by forming unions to protect their health and families.
Married the same sex.
Eradication is in the works.
I agree with my Russian komrad.
I am sure it will be as cruel as the prison camp Mr. Madoff will be thrown into for stealing 50 billion.

He mentions firefighters and EMT working with jail cells? What? I have been to jail once and there sure as hell was not an EMT or firefighter even near the jail. Training firefighters to do what? Put a fire out in a jail? If you want to train around that stuff go get 2×4s and some chicken wire! A plus for martial Law and a minus for patriots!

Is this a FEMA camp?

This is all very strange. On the surface it doesn’t make sense. Why is such a facility needed? Why is all this integration training needed? Didn’t Obama campaign against continuing war (before he started embracing it)? Where are they getting the money for these operations?
I have a grand idea. Let’s campaign for a BIG CUT IN MILITARY BUDGET. After all, they have wasted and stolen humongous amounts in the Iraq war. We can no longer afford to support an overblown Pentagon budget.
