Crain v. Bordenkircher

On November 30, 1988, this Court issued a rule in the above-captioned proceeding requiring the respondents 1 to show cause why we should not place the West Virginia Penitentiary (WVP) at Moundsville in receivership, grant the receiver the power to construct a new facility, and issue a writ of mandamus requiring the State Building Commission to provide financing for the construction of a new facility. The respondents appeared before this Court on May 2, 1989, to respond to the rule to show cause. See Crain v. Bordenkircher, 180 W.Va. 246, 376 S.E.2d 140 (1988) (Crain II).
