In other words, long term public safety is sacrificed? OH yes, and paroles will ultimately be denied because inmates have not completed these programs; which will be more expensive?
6-4-2009 Wyoming:
CHEYENNE, Wyo. - The Wyoming Department of Corrections is cutting inmate sex offender and mental health treatment programs to save money.
Gov. Dave Freudenthal plans to release a list of budget cuts for all state agencies later this week. He has said falling state revenues sparked by weak energy prices have made cuts of up to 10 percent necessary for nearly all agencies in the fiscal year that starts next month.
"What you're seeing are the agency's efforts to respond to the governor's budget cuts, the specifics of which are going to be released on Thursday," Chris Boswell, the governor's chief of staff, said Monday. "I think it's appropriate to comment at that point." ..Source.. bymLive.com
