    By OWEN MCCARTHYCapital News Service LANSING – Monica Jahner became “the first person in Michigan to get life without parole on a conspiracy to murder where no one died” after being wrongfully convicted in 1978 at age 22, she said.  “That was back in the day when the politicians were getting tough on crime,” Jahner said. “They decided that you should do the exact same amount of time whether you committed the crime or not.” Jahner was paroled in 2007 after winning a court challenge to her sentence and served about 28 years, doing time in both the Florence Crane Women’s Correctional Facility in Coldwater and the Huron Valley Correctional Facility in Ypsilanti.  Today, she is the manager of the Advocacy, Reentry, Resource and Outreach division of the NorthWest initiative, based in Lansing, which helps formerly incarcerated people transition to the outside world.
