Correction: Prison Grant Totals $1 Million, Not $30 Million

KCUR
Published June 3, 2009 at 1:02 PM CDT

On Wednesday KCUR incorrectly reported that a $30 million grant to help Kansas City inmates would continue at the new regional jail. The grant was in fact for $1 million.
Defunded, but not defeated.
Congress just eliminated federal funding for KCUR, but public radio is for the people.
