PRISON OPERATIONS

1.     FY 2008-09 Facility Closures at Unspecified Locations

House and Executive include 12-month savings projected from additional closures of more than 3,500 prison beds by October 1, 2009; locations are not identified. Bed savings would be achieved through a combination of paroles and expanded utilization of community corrections prison diversion programs. To support additional numbers of offenders in the community, increases to the Michigan Prisoner Reentry Initiative (MPRI), parole and probation supervision, and community corrections are included for FY 2009-10, and the Executive requests FY 2008-09 supplemental appropriations of $20 million to provide additional funding for MPRI and parole supervision.

Associated boilerplate language added by the House notes that savings could derive from various efficiencies and reductions in addition to bed closures.
