| DNA Collection To Become Part of Annual Physical in Michigan |

The department has decided to collect DNA samples from prisoners at the time of their annual health screening rather than wait for parole, Community Residential Program (CRP) placement or discharge. Gathering the samples is expected to start in March or April. By taking the sample during the annual physical, the state's entire stock prison population will have had DNA samples taken within a 12-month period. Richard McKeon, executive assistant to Director Martin, said even though this isn't required by statute, 'expediting tests will be of great assistance to prosecutors and law enforcement in solving outstanding crimes.' He said the department will continue to check at parole, discharge or CRP placement to make sure a sample has been taken, but that number should steadily decrease as the annual gathering concludes. Under Public Acts 84-91 of 2001 all prisoners leaving the system through parole, discharge or release to CRP must provide a DNA sample, collected by the department and sent to the Michigan State Police. Field Operations Administration has been gathering DNA samples from all residents of CRP. |
