ANCHORAGE – The Department of Corrections says just about every day, an inmate walks away from a halfway house in Alaska. The Anchorage Police Department said it’s happening so much, it’s a public safety issue. APD spokesperson Renee Oistad said it’s happened 86 times in Anchorage since the beginning of the year. Bryce McCarter, 23, who left Cordova Center this week, is the latest, but APD and the DOC said they know he won’t be the last. “The main reason why they’re put in a halfway house is because there’s not enough room to put every person in our institutions. We’d be crowded,” said DOC spokesman Corey Allen-Young. “And also, it’s cheaper. And also, it helps transition them back to society.” Read More. |
