Prisoners are shown at the Ryan Correctional Facility in Detroit, Thursday, May 3, 2007. Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm’s administration is scaling back plans to release more than 5,000 parole-eligible prisoners to ensure only nonviolent or sick inmates get out. Under a revised plan obtained by The Associated Press, officials trying to slow Michigan’s prison spending are eyeing around 3,200 inmates for parole, or about 36 percent fewer than originally proposed.
