The Utah construction company that built the Wyoming medium-security prison in Torrington is suing the tate Department of Corrections to get its final payment.

Officials with Layton Construction filed the breach of contract suit last month in Laramie County District Court,
saying the state still owes it $2.7 million dollars.

Brian Farmer with the Department of Corrections declined to comment, citing department policy not to discuss litigation involving the agency.

The Wyoming Medium Correctional Institution opened in January, 2010. The prison has room for 720 inmates.
