Iowa Senate OKs parole violator housing plan and drunken driver relief
The Iowa Senate approved a bill to house parole and probation violators in vacant county jails instead of state prisons. The measure allows counties to contract with the Department of Corrections for reimbursement and requires work-release prisoners to contribute earnings while receiving local treatment. A companion drunken driver bill lets offenders await confinement space and bypass Oakdale facilities for community based treatment.
