WKRN reports that the Department of Corrections only have to cut 6% of their budget while other state department will have to trim 15%:

Despite that, he did not rule out that some offenders, who are incarcerated now or who face future sentencing, might not be in prison during the next fiscal year.

“At the end of the day, not only at the state level with our prisons but at the local level with our jails, I think we all will have to really take stock of who we have in our jails and our prisons and ask ourselves, ‘Are these the people that we want off the street to provide for the greatest measure of public safety?’
