Tresa Baldas has this story in the National Law Journal:

Michigan prosecutors are suing the state Department of Corrections over the release of hundreds of violent offenders, alleging murderers and rapists are being paroled with little or no say from prosecutors.

"They're releasing these people at an alarming rate," said Kym Worthy, the chief prosecutor for Wayne County, Mich., who is one of three Detroit-area prosecutors leading the charge to get advance notice of parole hearings. "I had no idea that some of the most serious and most violent sex offenders were being let go, especially sex offenders."
