I feel like we will lose alot of jobs but then again wont be also be busier as police officers since some of these people will be out on the streets again, etc? I feel that it will be a very bad idea for Quinn to do this and hope that he doesnt close these prisons.Amanda Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16071852558440085769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959803343678816550.post-10343247067604957212012-03-01T08:54:14.523-08:002012-03-01T08:54:14.523-08:00I agree with Aaron, this is serious stuff that ult...I agree with Aaron, this is serious stuff that ultimately effects not only the employed, but the families, local economy and education around that area. Legislation and government officials seem to be living there own little fairy tale life, unaware of the consequences of their actions. I would like to imagine that his action is armored by several administrators that are influencing his decision. Quinn has had a tendency in the past to make wild claims and decisions without the support of other officials. If this plan is carried out 3200 workers will be unemployed. Im not sure about anyone else but there must be a very large incentive to cut that many employees. I fear for the ones that will be cut. All because of a large state deficit, these workers will be stranded, searching for another career to help support their family.Jmwiershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06558110868627260030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959803343678816550.post-59777025806314596432012-02-29T06:08:49.681-08:002012-02-29T06:08:49.681-08:00This is an extremely important issue for criminal ...This is an extremely important issue for criminal justice students to address. The governor's decision will directly affect the criminal justice system in terms of employment and policing practice. Employment will be drastically cut, particularly within corrections. Parole departments will undoubtedly be burdened with more workload; however, I am doubtful that more paroles officers will be hired.<br /><br />Aside from employment, there is simply no room to add addition inmates to other institutions. The governor seems to think he can take the prisoners to pontiac; however, pontiac is nearly at full capacity as well. Bottomline, I do not believe it will be possible for the governor to carry out this plan.Aaron Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04117679854065798521noreply@blogger.com
