LANSING - Michigan is expanding a program to help incarcerated people obtain driver's licenses or state identification cards, something advocates say will increase the odds they are successful in returning to society. The program began at state prisons in 2020 and more recently expanded to some jails. Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson says people need identification to apply for a job, for housing and to enroll in education and training programs. Her office says the program has helped about 20,000 people get identifications upon release from custody. Michigan is one of 17 states with such a program.
