Oklahoma lawmakers will work to solve the crisis in Oklahoma prisons during this year's legislative session.
State Prison Director Justin Jones says he will ask for $28 million to pay for private prison cells and another $90 million to pay for more beds and an updated computer system.
Lawmakers say they're looking at the results of the comprehensive prison audit that came out last month.
