news? What's your opinion? The Michigan/California prison situation has been huge in my Michigan town for quite some time because it affects many of the citizens in my state. The situation has even attracted a USA Today reporter. Look for it in an upcoming paper. But for those unknowing, Standish, MI has been rallying our governor's choice to remove the prisoners from Standish Maximum Correctional Facility by either transferring them to a facility in the Upper Peninsula or releasing them. For instance, if the judge ruled 5-10 years in prison, and the prisoner had been at SMCF for 5 years, he would then be released. An already released inmate killed a 5 year old just to get back into the prison system, because that's all he knew. In replacement of these freed murderers, rapists, and so on, Governor Granholm is working on "leasing" the prison to California so that California could bring over their prisoners to hold them. Once the prisoners are done with their sentence, they will be released in California. This is creating havoc and even causing prison workers to lose their jobs. What is your opinion on the issue?
