"“If we do a better job making sure when the inmates are released they are prepared to go back into the work place, back into the communities and not continue to rely on drugs. we’ll be able to reduce our [prison] population substantially,” according to Tomblin.

Currently the state houses more than 5,000 inmates in 13 facilities across West Virginia. But nearly 1,800 of those remain in the regional jail system because of prison overpopulation. Tomblin believes following the suggestions of Justice Center will dramatically reduce that."
