This is an interesting article, but I need to point out my view on corrections. During my 25 years working in state and federal prisons, I lived in 6 different states. After my retirement, I with a team of experts (5) took on the (week long) assignment of auditing a little over 40 different facility to ensure each prison complied with state and national regulations. During that time only one facility had a minor deviation on two policies and that was corrected on site.
When a person or family have someone they love in prison, they have a tendencies to take on some of the family member beliefs and feel obligated to help them any way they can. Please take in mind that prison system take on the blunt reduction in funding to assist other state and federal agencies officials belief are more important.

If a prison is being correctly run, this decision in Michigan should not matter.

The bill follows the budget rollback of the 72-hour notice rule and would prevent MDOC from reinstating it in the future

I don't know if this is true, because I haven't read the entire "Big Beautiful Bill", but with the recent cuts in spending there is a possibility. Judge for yourself, I'm hoping there's a "method to their madness" and I say that in a positive way.

The Trump administration's One Big Beautiful Bill Act will result in the closure of many rural hospitals, leaving people in the surrounding communities — including ...

This article might be the best reason for prisons to purchase books from my company. I buy books and ship books, but no one knows where they are going until the books are tightly packed and inspected, before I give the shipping address. In 25 years of work in the field of corrections, to me this was an easy fix.

Before my retirement from the Bureau of Prisons in 2004, cell phone were starting to make an introduction back in 1995. When I arrived at my last duty station, we had meetings about jamming cell phones that could be smuggled into our institution, since we were in the activation stage of the facility, it was a perfect time to implement. I and some other staff members contacted local cell phone corporations asking for their idea. I was quoted by one company to the price of 1 million dollars, they could make that happen. As you can see that didn't happen, and now I read prisons are still focusing on the problem some 30 years later. Best of luck, this has to happen, I can't even imagine how many lives have been waisted, because of this continuous issue:)
