Field Days Podcast - Westside Residential Alternative to Prison (WRAP)




Field Days show

Summary: The department's newest WRAP program gives West Michigan judges an additional option during sentencing to lead offenders to a better path that doesn’t include prison time. All counties west of U.S. 127 and in the Upper Peninsula are able to participate. The program targets high-risk probation violators and offers cognitive behavioral therapy and vocational training. Eaton County Undersheriff Jeffrey Cook and Eaton County Agent Clint Auer talk about why the program is important for correcting offenders.
