In an unprecedented shift, for some consumers having a credit card in good standing appears to have taken priority over having a roof over one&#8217;s head, experts said.

Patricia Caruso, head of the state Corrections Department, offered one of my all-time favorite quotes when she said a few years ago of Michigan&#8217;s swelling prison population: &#8220;We need to decide who we&#8217;re afraid of and who we&#8217;re mad at.&#8221;
