BARAGA - Michigan State House Representative Jenn Hill introduced a bill that would remove prerequisite college credit requirements for new corrections officer recruits to help solve the staffing crisis in Michigan prisons and jails.  The current requirements for MDOC employment include having 15 college credit hours in any major to continue working as an officer. This newly proposed bill would end that.  Hill introduced the legislation after taking a tour of the Baraga Maximum Correctional Facility and speaking with staff.  Hill says she hopes to have the bill go through committee soon. Hill adds she plans to look into increasing benefits for corrections officers including possible pensions.
