First I forgot to post my links to my blog about my family. It is here. http://fatherhoodthrillride.blogspot.com/
Second I posted my health about my spiritual health on this website yesterday instead of the Crashing Giants website. I am so confused.
On Fridays I plan on blogging about random things on my mind. The blogs like all of my blogs will be usually short. For today's blog I wanted to talk about something I read about in the Detroit News last Sunday.
Last Sunday I read an article about some guy who is trying to recall Michigan's governor Jennifer Granholm. I thought the recall is silly because recalls never really happen. But what bothered the most about the article is why this guy wants to recall Granholm.
Back in June of this year Granholm announced that 3 prisons or correctional institutions will close in the state of Michigan. By closing these prisons Michigan will save $125 million. To make room for the additional inmates prisons in Michigan will release 3,500 inmates. I don't know about you but that scares me. 3,500 people will be released into the state of Michigan that should be in prison currently serving a sentence for a crime. 3,500 convicts running the streets in Michigan is a lot of people. Where are they going to go? The crime rate in Michigan is already high and it seems to be getting higher by the day. What even scares me even more is that it seems a lot of our serious crimes that happen happen by people who are repeat offenders. The serial rapist who was caught in Detroit 2 weeks ago was someone who was released from prison early. The guy who kidnapped that girl and held her for 18 years in California was someone who spent time in jail for kidnapping and released early.
How many lives are going to be changed now because Granholm released these 3,500 inmates early?
