Prison workers in the Michigan Department of Corrections have been upset about working conditions — including thin staffing, safety concerns and mandatory overtime — for a while now.
IPR, WCMU and the Northern Michigan Journalism Collaborative produced a series of reports about this back in April.
Now, those workers are about to get a raise. Will it assuage any concern?
Reporting for this episode came from Claire Keenan-Kurgan.
