Bar Harbor Leaders Urge More Spending for Inmate Programs
Officials note five Maine correctional institutions need expanded funding to create additional programs for inmates. Proposals include transferring inmates between facilities, hearings for juveniles entering adult systems, a ten day furlough for funerals or work, moving the Probation and Parole Division under Corrections, boosting staff to meet national standards, and shortening the work week from 48 to 44 hours. Local jails may be deemed unfit and inmates moved if facilities fail occupancy standards.

New Federal Guaranteed Income Proposal Described
The proposed program would cost about 4 billion dollars annually. Every household head receiving payments would be treated as an applicant for training and employment, risking loss of benefits if they refuse unless disabled. Mothers heading households with preschool children would not be forced to train, while new daycare and health education centers would support work. Once employed, families could retain more earnings than currently allowed.
