  • State Notes TOPICS of LEGISLATIVE INTEREST Winter 2019
    State Notes TOPICS OF LEGISLATIVE INTEREST Winter 2019 Michigan Prison Closures and Prison Population Trends By Abbey Frazier, Fiscal Analyst Introduction The fiscal year (FY) 2018-19 budget included $38,033,800 in General Fund savings for the closure of two State prisons: the West Shoreline Correctional Facility in Muskegon and the Ojibway Correctional Facility in Marenisco. In addition to these facilities, the Michigan Department of Corrections (MDOC) has closed or consolidated over 20 prisons since 2005, with the Ojibway Correctional Facility being the most recent in December 2018. After years of increasing capital investment to accommodate a growing inmate population throughout the 1980s, 1990s, and the early 2000s, Michigan's prison population has reached a 20-year low, reducing the need for bed space and allowing for the closure of correctional facilities across the State. After reaching an historical peak in 2007 with a population of 51,544, the 2017 year-end prison population shrank 23.0% to 39,666, the lowest level seen since the mid-1990s. Between 2010 and 2018, the year-end population declined by roughly 1,000 inmates per year, on average, representing a marked reversal from the previous decade, when the population grew over 12.0% between 2001 and the 2007 peak. This State Notes article provides a brief historical overview of prison population trends since the 1980s, major policy initiatives in the State's corrections system, and prison facility closures and consolidations by fiscal year. A Brief History on Prisoner Population Trends Before the surge in Michigan's prison population growth that began in the late 1980s, inmate population trends mostly followed changes in the State's adult civilian population.

  • Longtime Judge Takes Senior Status
    Longtime Judge Takes Senior Status By Tom Kirvan The Legal News 8-23-21 Some seven months after celebrating his 70th birthday, U.S. District Judge David Lawson recently announced that he would take senior status on the federal bench, thereby opening up a vacancy on the court in the Eastern District of Michigan. The decision, which took effect August 6, will allow Lawson to handle a reduced caseload on the federal court that he has served since 2000, although he indicated this week that he plans to maintain his current full-time schedule and docket. Lawson was nominated to the bench in August 1999 by President William C. Clinton, an appointment that was unanimously confirmed by the U.S. Senate in May 2000. Lawson, who spent more than 24 years in private practice before becoming a judge, made his decision official in a one paragraph letter on July 23 to President Joseph R. Biden, highlighted by the closing sentence, “It is my intention to continue to render substantial judicial service as a senior judge.” In an e-mail to The Legal News, Judge Lawson downplayed the move, calling it, “no big deal, as I will continue to punch in at the same office for years to come, I hope.” Such brevity – and clarity – have been trademarks of Lawson throughout his legal career, which began with clerkships in the Oakland County Circuit Court for Judge John O’Brien and then for Justice James Ryan of the Michigan Supreme Court. Over the course of his career in private practice, Lawson handled 23 first degree murder cases and more than 300 state and federal appeals.
