Editor,Washington Crime News Services  \nThe Michigan Sheriffs'Association(MSA)isfighting an unprecedented package of 16 measuresintroduced in the Legislature which would permitprivate operation of jails and lockups in the state.  \nOn Feb.24,Dale E.Davis,project directorof the MSA Jail/Lockup Resource Center,sent allsheriffs and jail administrators a summary of thebills,soliciting their comments.As a result of thefeedback from the sheriffs and jail administrators,the MSA plans to fight the proposed legislationwith all the force it can muster.  \n“All the feedback is in opposition to thelegislation,save two sheriffs who say they want toexamine the issue more closely,\"Davis said in aletter to all Michigan sheriffs and jail adminis-trators last month.  \nAccording to Davis,most of the sheriffs andjail administrators responding to his initial requestfor feedback focused on the cost of privately runjails-economic issues.  \nThe survey respondents argued that“privatekeepers will,in the long run,cost the local tax-payer more than will government-operated jails,\"Davis said,adding that respondents“say thatwhile a private company might initially bid a con-  \n(Contiaued on

Davis,who agrees with the com-ments submitted by the sheriffs and jail adminis-trators,\"the legislative package is seductive tolegislators and to taxpayers,primarily based on thehope of reduced cost of jails.”  \nHe said MSA is working to bring together abroad-based coalition to oppose the privatizationlegislation,and he is urging county sheriffs to makethe true costs of privatization known to theircitizens and the local news media.  \nArguing that the privatization measures couldlead to“economic blackmail”by private contrac-tors in the long run,Davis points out:\"While acontract might
