State lawmakers plan to approve a package of bills that aims to keep 100,000 criminals from breaking the law again.
The 21-bill package is up for vote in the House Wednesday.
It would limit the length of incarceration for offenders who violate their probation, and it would also create a more intensive parole program.
Supporters of the bill are hoping the bill will save $2 billion in the corrections budget.
The legislation would also better define how likely a convicted criminal is to become a repeat offender.
The bills cleared the Senate last month and if cleared in the house, will head on to Governor Snyder’s desk.
