BERLIN — Approximately 200 inmates are being transferred to the federal prison in Berlin as a result of President Joe Biden’s decision to phase out the use of private prisons.

Aaron Posthumus, executive assistant at the Federal Correctional Institute-Berlin, said the facility is absorbing several hundred inmates that were being held at a private prison in Texas.
