Russ Marlan, Dept. of Corrections: "They're prisoners who were found mentally competent to stand trial, they were convicted and sent to prison, but they have some sort of mental health issues that require treatment." Spokesman Russ Marlan says last may the Department of Corrections decided to move some female prisoners into the Huron Valley facility.

Marlan says just the thought of the transfer has already raised concern. Read more. If link has expired, check the website of the article's original news source. |
