The Utah Department of Corrections, in coordination with the Davis County Sheriff's Office, has launched new programming to help prevent parolees from returning behind bars.
FARMINGTON — Parole violators represented the largest admission group for the Utah Department of Corrections in 2021 — 67%, or two-thirds of all admissions, compared to probation violators' 18%.
Davis Behavioral Health, which contracts with the sheriff's office, will help administer classes specializing in mental health and peer support. Living in Balance was developed by health research company Danya International and tested as part of a project funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, according to a news release. And it's "been proving to retain clients in treatment and reduce alcohol and other drug use."– Randall Honey, inmate placement program director with the Utah Department of Corrections

Letter: Utah’s legislative session has surpassed all others in its hideousnessI read in this morning’s Tribune that our illustrious state Legislature has again taken Utah taxpayer funds and made a $500,000 donation to the anti-wolf lobbyist organization Hunter Nation, to educate midwestern hunters on the evils of protecting the gray wolf under the Endangered Species List. This is in addition to the $2 million awarded a few years back, and totals more than $5 million of Utah taxpayer funds to these organizations over a decade. $5 million of Utah taxpayer money used to lobby Congress that we need to delist the gray wolf, because it’s apparently decimating too much cattle and sheep in Utah?
