Impact analysis
If the prison closes, Susanville could take a major hit to jobs, payroll, and local business revenue—so the lawsuit is a high-stakes economic play.
Susanville residents, prison employees, and local businesses that depend on the prison’s payroll would benefit if the lawsuit succeeds.
State taxpayers could end up paying more if the closure is delayed or blocked, since the state may forgo expected savings.
