The victims of crimes will soon be able to know where the perpetrators are locked up even if that is in a prison out of state, after Gov. John Hickenlooper signed a bill into law Monday that was inspired by victims of the Aurora movie theater attack. But the fact that Hickenlooper signed the bill in private — despite the request of supporters who wanted a public signing — was a contentious capper to a years-long fight for more transparency in inmate locations. “It’s hard to unring this bell,” said Assistant House Minority Leader Cole Wist, R-Centennial, who was one of the bill’s sponsors.
