Commission ratifies (recorded as ratification request) $900,000 corrections grant; administrator details jail- and community-based programs

The commission reviewed a ratification of the chair's exigent approval of a one-year, $900,000 grant from the Michigan Department of Corrections for jail-based cognitive behavioral therapy, domestic-violence programs and trauma-informed care; Lester Thomas said programs run from about 20 days to up to nine months and that there is no county match.
