Please check this site for regular updates as the County proceeds with this pivotal project.
Some 511 individuals successfully completed these rehabilitative programs, which include alcohol & drug abuse treatment, criminal sexual conduct therapy and employment/education training, among other programs. Jail bed days saved by participation in Community Corrections Programs: 7,215, which is equal to 19.8 jail beds filled 365 days a year. These alternatives to incarceration saved the County $472,294 in 2008 alone. The year 2008 saw 485 felony cases sentenced in 42nd Circuit Court. Of those, 62 or 12.8% of these defendants were sent to prison. A disturbing trend, notes Midland County Prosecuting Attorney Michael Carpenter, is the number of younger people getting entangled in criminal activity. In April of 2008, Carpenter reported that of 24% of felony convictions in the Midland County Courts involved teenagers. December 2008 Jail Statistics March 2009 Jail Statistics
