Lawmakers in Madison are considering a plan that could allow inmates in the state’s prisons to have more things.
Current state law caps inmate possessions at 75 dollars worth of stuff, plus a TV, radio, or musical instrument worth as much as 350 dollars. The new law would bump that up to 150 dollars worth of stuff, or a musical instrument worth up to 350 dollars. The plan is due for a hearing at the statehouse later today.
