Inmates Released for Y2K! Jackson, MI:For 476 inmates of the Michigan State Correctional facility in Jackson MI the Y2K problem is no problem! This past week, 90 day release notices were sent to all inmates of the maximum security prison as it was not certified Y2K compliant. Judge Richard Miller ruled that the inmates be released and the prison closed because testing of the facility showed that
non-Y2K reinforcing rods were used in pouring the buildings concrete pillars back in 1956. Michigan Attorney General S Corpe is livid but cites that under Michigan law, prisons cannot close without first discharging all their inmates. "State law is the law here" Corpe adds, "we must discharge them all". With the forthcoming discharges, Jackson realtors are bracing for a booming winter housing market and retailers are stocking up on supplies in the otherwise sleepy community.
