ASA HUTCHINSON REVEALS PLAN TO REDUCE PRISON POPULATION



Republican gubernatorial candidate Asa Hutchinson has announced a plan to reduce the population at the various facilities maintained by the Arkansas Department of Corrections if he is elected. 

Hutchinson’s plan calls for certain prisoners to be euthanized much like dogs and cats in animal shelters. Hutchinson said that “these jails and prisons will only have a set amount of days for each offender, depending on their sentence and then they go to the Big Sleep Chamber”. 

Hutchinson stated that “it was too early to release all the details of his plan” as he was “waiting on input from municipal animal shelters to work out the kinks”.
