| Statement from MCO on Ojibway closing |

“A prison closure is a time of uncertainty and stress for staff because their employment, work location, living arrangements, childcare, and other critical aspects of day-to-day life are made uncertain. This is true in any closure, but this closure will be especially disruptive due to Ojibway’s rural location. The nearest Michigan prison is about 100 miles away. The MCO leaders understand the stress this will inevitably cause OCF staff and their families and the impact it will have on their small, tight-knit community and the surrounding areas. MCO leaders will be working with the MDOC to mitigate the impact of this closure as much as we possibly can. MCO was outspoken earlier this year when Sen. John Proos, Chair of the Senate Subcommittee on Corrections, called for yet another prison closure. Real corrections reform and long-term cost savings must be achieved through innovation and partnership with all stakeholders, not just closures and cuts.” - MCO President Byron Osborn |
