LANSING, Mich. – State Sen. Wayne Schmidt, R-Traverse City, issued the following statement on Tuesday, after it was announced the Pugsley Correctional Facility, located in Kingsley, is to be closed.
“I am very disappointed with the decision to close the Pugsley Correctional Facility. Unilaterally closing a prison to only save a few bucks in spite of all the benefits the facility provides to our community seems extremely shortsighted and does nothing to achieve our shared goal of reforming Michigan’s criminal justice system.
