Holder averts furloughs of prison staffers
By PETE YOST Attorney General Eric Holder says he has averted daily furloughs of 3,570 federal prison staffers around the country, moving $150 million from other Justice Department accounts to stave off a serious threat to the lives and safety of correctional staff, inmates and the public.
He recently came out in support of a bill that would change the way prison inmates are counted at the prisons where they are housed.
