  Michigan DOC
  Jail Overcrowding, Cost, and Re-Entry

  Hard hit by repercussions from shrinking budgets and overcrowded prisons, the Michigan Department of Corrections (MDOC) put a stake in the ground and committed to prisoner re-entry programming as “the new way of doing business in Michigan.” In collaboration with the Council of State Governments, the State implemented sentencing and policy reforms, then launched the Michigan Prisoner Re-Entry Initiative (MPRI) in 2004. Since then, the MPRI has enabled MDOC to eliminate 7,500 prison beds, reduce recidivism, and dramatically cut costs while enhancing public safety.
