Utah will spend $1 million in federal stimulus finds to help probationers and parolees find jobs in the state.

The cash is part of $9.9 million in Recovery Act funds that will go to Utah for criminal justice related programs.

The Offender Employment Coordination program itself will employ 12 probation and parole agents, who will match ex-prisoners with employers.
