DOC to send inmates out of state due to growing prison population after SB 91 repeal

“The Alaska Department of Corrections plans to send hundreds of inmates out of state starting early next year. DOC Commissioner Nancy Dahlstrom announced the department will be issuing a request for proposal soon during a teleconference with media outlets late Tuesday afternoon. She cited a growing prison population resulting from the passage of House Bill 49, which repealed and replaced the controversial Senate Bill 91. “
