DETROIT, MI - Cass and Van Buren counties are riding the Oct. 1 third wave of MPRI, the Michigan Prison Re-Entry initiative, joining Berrien, part of eight pilot counties, and a second round of seven counties in October 2006, Peggy Schaffer, Michigan Works regional coordinator, told Dowagiac Rotary Club Thursday noon. As she also told the Cass County Board of Commissioners Jan. 18, MPRI represents a "complete shift in thinking" about prisons, making parole officers more social workers to curb recidivism and to shore up battered budgets, since it costs $30,000 a year to incarcerate someone versus $2,500 in annual community services to better equip inmates returning to society.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT

Our truck accident lawyers have seen many causes of these accidents. They can often include an improper lane change, incorrect stopping distance, defective equipment, an inexperienced driver, an unqualified driver and road defects. Our team of trucking accident attorneys will investigate your accident with the help of experts to determine the most likely cause of your 18 wheeler accident. While you wait for the conclusion of your truck accident claim, your truck accident lawyer can work around the clock to address issues such as medical bills, calls from creditors, communications from insurance companies, and legal fees. Semi truck owners are required to carry more extensive insurance coverage, the trucks are subject to a strictly controlled maintenance schedule, and drivers are required to track and limit their time on the road. But many trucking companies pressure their drivers to drive without sleep to get to their destination. This creates fatigue for the truck driver.
