Aaahhh, Jackson Michigan where I was born & raised. Sad story, but I have to laugh a bit too. This is exactly the kind of story that WOULD put Jackson in the news.
Oh well, still the birthplace of the Republican Party at least. (sigh)
Also the largest walled prison in the US at one time, not sure about that anymore since the talk of closing it.
These days you can take tours of the prison.
