The Ypsilanti Police Department is being forced to return non-violent offenders back to the street,where most of them commit additional crimes, due to the lack of room in the Washtenaw County Jail. The County Jail is full, and will not accept these offenders and repeat offenders for housing. In addition, Washtenaw County has stopped allowing offenders arrested in Washtenaw County to be housed in jails in other locations in Michigan, due to the expense of doing so. I urge you to use the links to the right to learn more about this issue, and the unnecessary politics behind it. Then, please use the link provided to the Washtenaw County Commissioners, and demand a resolution to this problem. Most of you will need to contact Commissioner Ronnie Peterson. Clicking on the name below the group picture will take you to Commissioner Peterson's page where you will be able to email or phone him. I also suggest that you watch the Ann Arbor News, and Ypsilanti Courier for more information on this extremely urgent problem. Make your voice heard,any one of us could be the next victim of a repeat offender, released back to the street due to jail overcrowding.
