If you are on parole in MI, you have access to some services to help your reentry. If you max out or get exonerated, you probably need those services even more, but you're not eligible. Here Nation Outside share efforts to change that. https://bit.ly/reentry2026

OK, maybe this post doesn't actually reflect what the biggest police union in MI thinks about a significant number of the residents they are sworn to serve. Still, this post significantly undermines trust. Is just an "oops, somebody else messed up" apology adequate here?

Remember when the decision came out and prosecutors said, "there's no way we can meet this deadline"?
Now they're saying it wasn't an issue.
Kinda makes me doubt all their other "sky is falling" rhetoric whenever there's a proposal to walk back extreme sentencing.

MI Prisons can't hire enough staff. This means less safe conditions, less access to programming, less ability to support family visits. That adds up to more "institutionalization," less rehabilitation. Anyone who honestly looks at this will see that staffing supply isn't going to get better.
