Israel Antiquities Authority recommends moving the Megiddo prison to preserve the Christian mosaics (Megiddo mosaics 7)

As Jim Davila points out, there is now an official recommendation by the Israel Antiquities Authority to move the prison and preserve the site of the newly discovered Christian mosaics and possible church. Two other recent articles in the Jerusalem Post and on Haaretz.com discuss this same development. If IAA’s recommendation is followed, this is good news for further archeological study and preservation of the site.

Early reports indicated that there might be a baptistry adjacent to the building. Has anyone heard whether that was in fact the case?
