Domestic Violence Shelter and Victim Support

An effort is underway to re-establish shelter and support for victims of domestic violence in the Madison area. Marilyn Spurrell is vice-chair of the Domestic Violence Network Board. There have been 66 cases of domestic violence in the Madison area resulting in about 30 arrests this year. Spurrell says when such services are needed at this point, authorities have to look to Sioux Falls or some other place. She says the board is looking for volunteers, fund raising and is reaching out to the school district and to Dakota State University.
