I am just curious to how the people from Michigan look at the prison closing in Jackson, and the proposed release of 5500 so called "non-violent" offenders by October 1st. The one thing that I always tell people is that there are a lot of prisoners that are non violent because they took a plea for a reduced sentence, and a non violent prisoner is only a prisoner that was never charged for his violent crimes.

This will have a great effect on me and my life, especially hunting. I know there are a lot of individuals in MI that are having a difficult time in finding jobs, and they are now going to have to compete with 5500 just released prisoners.

Maybe this isn't important to you, but it is to me.
