St, Joseph County Discusses Prisoner Re-entry Program

"A panel discussion on how to create a safe community through collaboration was held by Michigan Prisoner ReEntry Initiative Tuesday at Glen Oaks Community College."

Prosecuting Attorney "McDonough stressed this initiative has nothing to do with early release of prisoners. “These are people who are doing 2, 3 or 4 years in prison and are going to return to the community,” said McDonough. “Without some program in place, St. Joseph County will continue to have problems. In our state it costs $32,000 a year to house a single inmate.”"
