Does Arkansas need a Board of Corrections?

On the January 21 segment of First News with Toby Howell on Newsradio 102.9 KARN, Opportunity Arkansas Founder & CEO Nic Horton joins Toby to discuss the latest happenings in Arkansas—including renewed questions around the state’s Board of Corrections. Nic argues that the board lacks clear purpose, operates outside its intended role, and duplicates responsibilities already handled by other officials involved in day-to-day operations. Other states have eliminated similar boards—and Arkansas may want to take a hard look at whether this one is still necessary.
