Bills to cut prison costs move to Kansas House
Kansas lawmakers consider two bills from the Kansas Sentencing Commission to ease prison overcrowding and cut costs. The proposals would keep offenders out of prison for first two marijuana possession offenses and allow some inmates to earn time off for good behavior. Prison population sits 146 over capacity and could reach 107 percent by 2024, with annual inmate costs near 24,500 dollars and state budget shortfalls of about 600 million. House Corrections member Rep Tom Moxley commented on budget pressures shaping reform debates.
