parole

The Skelton brothers have been missing since Thanksgiving Day 2010 and their father, the man responsible for their disappearance, may soon be free.

The state of Michigan is wasting a substantial amount of money keeping people in prison; funds that could be partially used to improve education and road conditions. According to a recent report in The Detroit Free Press, the Michigan Department of Corrections spends around 20 percent of its general budget incarcerating prisoners – roughly $2 billion annually.
