Program aims to prevent repeat offenders, cut jail populations

7/19/10 Pittsburgh Tribune-Review—"An Allegheny County Jail program being tested could save considerable money and help ex-inmates stay out of jail, said Allegheny County Warden Ramon Rustin. The 'second chance' federal grant screens nonviolent offenders and helps them find jobs sooner rather than stay behind bars. Unlike before, the former inmates get counseling and supervision for at least a year after being released."
