A former female inmate forced to live with a man in prison commended the Trump administration this week for pulling funding from the Maine Department of Corrections for allowing a man convicted of killing his parents and the family dog to be housed in a women's facility.
During a Fox & Friends interview this week, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced the administration's decision to pull what she described as "non-essential" funding from Maine's Department of Corrections. While she didn't provide an exact amount, the outlet reported that it could be over $1.5 million.
Bondi referred to Andrew Balcer, a man sentenced to 40 years in prison in December 2018 for the double murder of his parents, Alice and Antonio, on Oct. 31, 2016. He also stabbed the family dog to keep it from barking during the murder.
