Few states have been more aggressive in releasing inmates and diverting offenders than Michigan, where the prison system has long threatened the state???s capacity to fund universities and other basics of government. But the $2 billion annual cost remains steep, exacerbated by a boomerang found here and across the country: the large number of inmates who wind up back behind bars again.
