Federal inmate could be given more jail time / Youth curfew to be proposed in Jackson
A federal inmate with under a year remaining in his sentence might be spending more time behind bars than initially planned.

A youth curfew is expected to be proposed by a member of the Jackson city council next week. Ward 3 councilman Kenneth Stokes says he plans to introduce the idea during Tuesday's meeting, saying it's a necessary step to protect the city's youth from violent crimes.
