Tensions are particularly high in the country&apos;s Federal prison system.Two different congressional reports released in the last year found that inmate overcrowding at Federal prisons like the one in Ray Brook, near Saranac Lake,has already made it difficult for guards to maintain safety behind bars.Attorney General Eric Holder says furloughing more corrections officers could make safety problems even worse.

<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/18636/20111024/cell-tower-boom-slows-in-adirondacks</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Oct 24, 2011) The cell tower building boom in the Adirondacks has slowed this year. Applications to the Adirondack Park Agency are down – the agency has only issued nine permits or amendments for cell projects as of early October. That&apos;s a big drop when compared to last year: 28 projects, and 2009, when the APA approved 27. Despite the trend, cell service providers say they&apos;re still planning to grow their wireless networks in the Park. Chris Knight reports.

<description><![CDATA[ (Aug 26, 2010) The union that represents corrections officers and other workers at the Federal Correctional Institution in Ray Brook says prison officials didn&apos;t do enough to address a recent outbreak of what it described as &quot;gang-related&quot; violence at the medium-security facility.   The American Federation of Government Employees and its Council of Prison Locals says prison officials mostly kept operations running normally, despite the violence.  As Chris Knight reports, prison officials say they locked down the prison and handled the situation appropriately.

<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/6000/20050805/quot-invasives-quot-fight-needs-people-and-money</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Aug 5, 2005) Non-native plant species like zebra mussels, water milfoil, and purple loosestrife are called &quot;invasives.&quot;  They can overwhelm native species, upsetting whole ecosystems.  In the Adirondacks, private groups that have been fighting invasives for years are now hoping for public help. Invasives are considered one of the most serious threats to the region&apos;s, and the state&apos;s, environment. A state task force studying the problem brought its draft report and recommendations to a meeting in Ray Brook this week. As Chris Knight reports, members found a receptive audience, with its own suggestions.
