The AG's office told The Ely Times on Nov. 4 that a criminal complaint was filed recently charging Ofeldt, 28, with one count of open murder in the death of inmate Erik Houser, then 32.

The Race to Incarcerate: PrisonComix
It´s More Expensive to do Nothing
This new film explores the dark and often disregarded world of criminal justice, the revolving door of institutionalization, the complexities of remediation, and the programs that have worked to help nonviolent ex-offenders succeed as self-sufficient members of society. In recent decades, the population of American prisons has risen precipitously, and along with it the economic burden on society. What is lost in this zeal for incarceration is a grasp of the social and financial advantages of remediation, a disconnect that fails not just offenders in need of rehabilitation but also the communities that rely on lawmakers to keep them safe. The math is staggeringly simple: It will cost $75,000 year if a nonviolent offender returns to prison, whereas $5,000 a year will help that individual lead a productive life outside.
