Parolees who are caught with guns -- or who hang around people with guns -- will go back to prison automatically, under new parole guidelines Gov. Jennifer Granholm will announce today.
Granholm wants to curb rising gun violence with a zero-tolerance policy for ex-inmates, said her spokeswoman, Liz Boyd. It would require gun-toting parolees who are released early to serve the rest of their maximum sentences or five additional years, whichever is less. "
