MIDDLEBURY — Currently there are more than 2,000 people serving time in jail for state crimes committed in Vermont. More than a quarter of that number are housed in prisons more than 1,000 miles from where their crimes took place.

Each year, between 550 and 600 Vermont prisoners are held in privately run jails in Tennessee and Kentucky.
