Lawmakers consider prison closings to trim corrections budget
Kansas lawmakers say a 2 to 5 percent cut to the $161 million corrections budget could only come from closing prisons and releasing hundreds of minimum-security inmates. Rep. John Solbach outlines the plan, noting federal orders to reduce overcrowding and the need for electronic monitoring and parole supervision if releases occur. He warns some minimum-security inmates may still be dangerous and details potential closures at Stockton and Ellsworth.
