Overcrowding relief

I don't know if anyone else has noticed but the DOC's overcrowding percent has dropped from 23% to 18% so they must be doing something right. I assume it's because they have paroled or given work release to a lot of people. it will be interesting to see if they can maintain that percent or if it will rise again. And also, I hope that means good things for everyone's loved one that will be up to see the board this year! to see what I am talking about visit:

Hey! I've found that those stats aren't very accurate. Generally,what they publish in the paper is higher than what the doc site shows. I don't knwo why that is.
I've noticed that a lot have been gettin parole and work release which is totally awesome. I just wish it were mine.

Take care.

My husband said about a month back they just paroled like somewhere around 80 people out of Rockwell! I hope and pray that it's his turn next time they come.

They've published them in the Gazette.
