John Campbell: Comments on inmates working on right-of-ways Urges motorists to exercise great care during clean up season By John Campbell Personal Commentary I noticed that there are county supervised litter pick up crews working the ditch lines and right of ways in the area. I am appreciative of this service but I do have a quandary. These are inmates to the best of my understanding and they will volunteer for this work just to get outside of the walls of incarceration. Even though they have high visibility vests and signage is provided making drivers aware of their presence. Should they, God forbid, intentionally or unintentionally be injured by a passing motorist... who bears the potential liability of such an incident? Of course, the operator of the vehicle may be cited, but what about the supervisor of the crew? Will the jailer or any employee of the jail be held responsible? Will the county judge executive or any of the magistrates forming the fiscal court be at risk of possible loss and lawsuit? Personal injury or loss of life is the most important factor in this scenario. A human being is some mother's child regardless of being incarcerated or not. My reasoning for these questions is the fact that these inmate workers did not even make an effort to move out of harm's way of coming traffic in at least one instance this morning. Motorist, be advised litter pick up crews are out there. - John Campbell This story was posted on 2015-04-24 08:16:52
