Pennsylvania Shipping Inmates To Michigan & Virginia
12.22.09 |
Overcrowding in its prisons is forcing the state of Pennsylvania to send two-thousand inmates to Michigan and Virginia. Each state will take one-thousand convicts, and Pennsylvania will pay the governments of each state around 22-point-six million dollars a year. Moving the inmates to Michigan will prevent a state prison in the city of Muskegon, on the west coast of the state, from closing.
Pennsylvania officials said Michigan and Virginia were a good match because the prison systems in both matched that in the Keystone State. All of the inmates being sent out of the Keystone State will stay locked up elsewhere for three years.
