These halfway houses are a joke and yet another sad commentary on Alaska's politicians! They smoked screened the tax payers with a deficient crime bill (SB91) in an attempt to "save dollars in prison operating costs by :"reducing" the prison population. The public is less safe now then ever. They relied on the Pew foundations stats, but are ignoring the upward tick in crime in our own communities!  You want to keep people out of prison? Reform the Alaska judicial system and make prison, prison! There is little deterrent for criminals in Alaska; wake up! The real question is how long will it be before Alaskans drain our own swamp? Those who mismanage our tax dollars and then pass legislation that is soft on crime are seriously out of touch and need to be voted out of office!.
