Governor Ige Withholds Funds For Corrections Oversight

Ryan Finnerty / HPR HONOLULU - Hawaii Gov. David Ige has again decided not to approve funds that would have allowed the all-volunteer Hawaii Correctional Systems Oversight Commission hire paid staff members. Ige declined last year to release $330,000 in funding to hire staff for the five-member committee, which oversees the state Department of Public Safety, the Honolulu Styar-Advertiser reported on Monday. The commission was approved by the Legislature two years ago in what was initially hailed as major corrections reform.  The commission was given the power to inspect and monitor correctional facilities, investigate complaints, report findings to the public and come up with ideas for reforms.
