Prison reform priest promotes jail work program in county
Rev. Strange endorses a model work release style program at the Tazewell County Jail with sheriff W. E. Osborne and Wade Coates backing the plan. He cautions the idea will not singlehandedly fix all problems but could offer solutions through work weekdays and weekend sentences. He recalls prior failed attempts in Alexandria and predicts early skepticism from prisoners but remains hopeful.
