Funded in part by the JEHT Foundation

The MPRI is a statewide collaborative effort administered through a public and private partnership, including the Department of Corrections, Department of Labor and Economic Growth, Department of Community Health, Department of Human Services, Department of Education, Public Policy Associates, and the Michigan Council on Crime & Delinquency.

Policymakers

The MPRI creates safer neighborhoods and better citizens. The MPRI is a comprehensive and visionary plan that tracks individual prisoners, from the moment they enter prison, to assess their re-entry potential and to guide them through extensive programming geared toward making them productive citizens upon their release. Programs similar to the MPRI once existed but were cut in years past, largely due to a lack of information about their effectiveness.

Although the MPRI requires funding up-front, it unequivocally will lead to a reduction in corrections spending as fewer prisoners will re-offend once returning to their communities. Currently, 48% of parolees return to prison within two years. The short-term goal of the MPRI is to reduce this number to 42%. If that is accomplished, the MPRI will save the state up to $48 million–money that can be spent on other pressing needs such as health care and education.
