Prisons are extraordinarily expensive to build and operate. At a recently opened medium-security prison in Nevada, the price comes to $37,000 a cell, and a new, state-of-the-art maximum-security complex has cost Minnesotans $78,300 a cell.

The sell-off threatens this arrangement, since ranchers may not be able to afford to buy the acreage for which they now hold federal grazing permits. Says Paul Bottari, executive secretary of the Nevada Cattlemen's Association: "Cattlemen would have supported the sale of public lands if there had been provisions built into the proposals to ensure that they would be able to utilize their present rights...
