    Workers have been building the walls of the jail area of new Law Enforcement Center.

"Stone walls do not a prison make," wrote 17th Century English poet Richard Lovelace.

Maybe so, but in Vinton, concrete blocks are forming the exterior walls of what will be the prison area of the new Benton County Law Enforcement.

Workers have overcome rain and humidity to continue the work on the LEC, which is scheduled to be finished by next summer.
