Given the source, I found this rather surprising...

USA Today? They're not as far in the tank for Obama as most of the media. You can trust them not to try and perpetrate a bald-faced lie when it's this hard to hide.

I didn't see any mention of the 3 jails that have written the President REQUESTING the prisoners. Those three have almost twice the needed capacity.

Ahhh, found something.

Okay, it took a little while, but I found reference of ONE prison in Montana that has requested those prisoners.

It seems the people of Hardin were so desperate for jobs that they spent 27 million to build a prison in hopes of attracting prisoners from overcrowded locations elseway. This was their plan to start making money for the community. Hardin, Montana's prison has been sitting empty since they finished building it in in 2007, and while the offer to take the Guantanimo prisoners was made, the city's 3400 residents are by no means in agreement that this should be the case.

Not exactly a viable option. Are the others any better prospects?

I haven't either. By all means, please enlighten us...but source it.
