John Engler enacted legislation that removes mandatory minimum sentences for drug crimes and eases parole conditions for nonviolent drug offenders. Supporters expected fewer prisoners and lower operating costs, but corrections officials questioned the projected impact. A five-year population report released days before signing shows the system will reach full capacity by June due to higher intake and slower decline in community residential programs.

eliminatesmandatory minimum sentences fordrug crimes and eases conditionsfor parole of nonviolent drug of-fenders.  \nEngler and supporters of thenew law claimed it would help re-duce the number of state prisonersand curb the Corrections Depart-ment's operating costs.  \nBut department officials ex-pressed uncertainty about optimisticassessments of the law's impact.  \nOnly days before the governorsigned the bill,the department re-leased five-year prisoner populationprojections revealing the systemwill be at full capacity by June.  \nThe report shows that due tounusually large increases in prisonerintake and a faster than expecteddecline in community residentialprograms population,Michigan'sprison population grew by 5.1 per-cent in the first 10months of 2002.The growth rate of 243 prisonersper month is more than 83 percenthigher than forecasted in the Febru-ary 2001 population projection re-port.  \nWith the passage of truth insentencing in 1998,all incomingprisoners are now prohibited from  \nplacement in community programs,either in corrections centers or onelectronic monitoring.  \nThis has resulted in the pro-jected population of prisoners incommunity placement being re-duced from 2,345 in 1997 to 200 bythe endof 2003.  \nThis ongoing decline requires acorresponding increase in prisonand camp beds.By factoring in thecurrent growth rate,total availablebeds and the reduction of prisonersin community placement,the de-partment predicts the out-of-bedsdate will likely occur sometimebetween June and October.  \nThe department currently hastwo unoccupied prisons—the Jack-son Maximum Correctional Facilityand the Michigan Reformatory inIonia.  \nBased on the most recent pris-oner population projections both ofthese facilities will need to be re-opened within the next few monthsand will be at full capacity by midto late 2003.  \nNo additional male prison bedshave been authorized or are underconstruction.In addition,if fundswere appropriated immediately,thebeds could not be constructed soonenough to address the shortfall.  \nAlthough the new law makessome offenders eligible for paroleearlier,a decision about their re-lease is ultimately up to the paroleboard.Drug offenders constituteabout two-thirds of the state's  \n49,000 prisoners.  \nIn fiscal 2000-2001,the de-partment provided substance abusetreatment for 20,676 inmates,pro-bationers and parolees.  \nWhile the newly enacted lawrequires judges to follow state sen-tencing guidelines when sendingdrug felons to prison,it gives judgesmore discretion by eliminatingmandatory minimum sentences.  \nMichigan enacted stiff penaltiesin 1998 to hit kingpins,but themandatory sentencing law turnedout to affect more drug users andsmall-time pushers than those at thetop of the narcotics pyramid.  \nMandatory minimums forcedjudges to treat all those before themas predators.  \nThe old law allowed judges todeviate from the mandatory mini-mum guidelines only under extraor-dinary circumstances.  \nThe old law required a mini-mum 10-year sentence and a max","cbCailJkax7LDGla","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailJkax7LDGla","pdf",2559538,"English","# Michigan Ends Minimum
