Beasley's Plan Pulls Violent Offenders From Prison Work Release
Advocates say Gov Beasley's order removing 264 violent offenders from prison work release hurts families and employers. The Corrections Department moved offenders to high security prisons March 1 after meetings with Beasley. Inmates had worked for community businesses while living in prison and contributed earnings to victims, rooms, and families. Deborah Rodgers, whose husband Benjamin was returned from the program, argues the governor is harming families and waging a power play on the vulnerable.
