Date Posted: 16:16:01 06/16/09 Tue VOTE NO on this contract We get piss and shit thrown at us. We work seven days a week twenty four hours a day. We are the front line of defiance We work holidays In our last contract the E-Board had the foresight to extend it one year for 3% All other bargaining units didn’t see what was coming and they took 0% for the year we got 3% Now we are expected to take a 0% for 7/09 thru 7/10 while all others get 1% with possibly 2% more Give me a break There is no other bargaining unit in the DOC that works the hours we do and take the abuse we do. This is why back in the early 90’s we got great contracts NO ONE DOES WHAT WE DO Don’t sell yourselves short If we turn down this contract its back to the table and we will not get anything less than anyone else. We deserve more we do more Call the E-Board and let them know we will not stand for another sub par contract [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 13:42:12 05/02/09 Sat The theory of natural selection explains that as a species of any kind evolves, the weaker members of that species will not survive. These weaknesses can be anything from not being able to outrun another species that views you as its next meal, to deciding to leave the oceans without bothering to evolve lungs. Early man evolved and developed through the ability to adapt to his surroundings. One of the weaknesses of humans however was stupidity. This stupidity was to a greater extent kept in check by natural selection. If for example, a stupid human decided it would be a good idea single handedly attack a sabre toothed tiger, the result would be that the human in question would learn the error of his ways shortly before his death. This was a good thing because it kept the number of stupid people low, and more importantly they didn't get the chance to add stupidity to the gene pool. Several thousand years passed, and along came the technical innovations of the industrial age. Stupid people were still happily weeding themselves out of the population. If you had an obsession with 'those new fangled steam locomotives' and thought you'd like to see them up close, then you would die on the tracks. If you wanted to see what would happen if you used less 'pit props' in your mine, you would learn the hard way. The message was simple: stupid people who do stupid things die horribly. As the earth moved into the twentieth century, several changes happened that altered the ratio of stupid to non-stupid people on Earth. Arguably the greatest factor to bring about an increase in dim-witted people was the advances in medical treatment. Stupid people having accidents were now able to get treated more effectively for whatever mishap they ended up having. Stupid people were surviving to tell the tale, and more importantly they were going on to breed. If, as some species believe, that stupidity is inherited genetically, then it becomes obvious, that there will be more stupid people with the passing of time. Eventually a group of government bureaucrats began to take note. They in turn asked the statisticians to look into it. After several months of extensive correlating of various facts and figures, a secret report into world stupidity was published. The findings of the report stated that there was an exponential increase in the numbers of stupid people. The bureaucrats formed a select committee to look into the growing problem. The select committee in turn decided it was too big a problem to deal with, and public executions of stupid people wouldn't win votes for anyone. The bureaucrats decided there was only one option open to them: they would have to make laws for the protection of stupid people. It is worth noting at this point some of the other conclusions of the report into world stupidity. The report also noted that one stupid female, intent on breeding could realistically produce approximately one offspring a year. Where as one stupid male could become responsible for many stupid babies in a year. Also the report made note that stupid people seemed to watch a disproportionally high amount of satellite television. By the end of the twentieth century, the number of stupid people was close to epidemic proportions. It had got to the state that there were so many laws trying to shift the blame from stupid people, that a group of lawyers got together in secret to see if the situation could be exploited. The lawyers soon realized that stupid people could use the law to make money; all they needed to do was work out how. With a stroke of genius, one lawyer (Wesley Clifford Unwin) reasoned that stupid people are more likely to have accidents. Therefore his reasoning went that he could sue on behalf of stupid people for any catastrophe that may have beset them. The end result would be that he could profit from the situation. Acting on this idea, he advertised in The Times. The results were not the success he predicted. Another lawyer (Zachariah Jameson-Smythe) seeing the advertisement realized that the idea was good, it had just been advertised in the wrong place. Jameson-Smythe had the revolutionary idea of offering a similar service, but he instead advertised on satellite television. The advert itself is now a classic formula, with its heavy reliance on pictures of cheques, offers of receiving "100% of your compensation" and large printed slogans. Generally the advert has been emulated by almost every law firm advertising similar services. The end result of this change is that stupid people are now in positions throughout society where they can make changes that effect the population as a whole. There are people in the world who believe that the bureaucracies that initiated the changes to the laws are now heavily over run with the cretins they attempted to protect. If this is true, it would seem to the casual observer that evolution has a wicked sense of humour. There are still some people on Earth, who, in spite of the laws to protect them, actively try to exit population. Each year the Darwin Awards chronicle those people, who have through their own idiocy reached the zenith of stupidity. This is clear indication that if the protective laws were removed, the human population would return to a natural balance of one idiot per village. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 21:38:45 03/15/09 Sun Mass. commissioner speaks on prison management Advertisement BOSTON (AP) -- Massachusetts Department of Correction Commissioner Harold Clarke is slated to discuss efficient, effective methods to running prisons in a poor economy. Clarke will headline a forum at Harvard University on Monday called "Correcting the Approach: Managing Prisons Effectively in Challenging Times." The forum will includes discussions of reducing recidivism through drug abuse treatment and housing and re-entry programs, and the difficulty of implementing these programs during an economic crisis. The Pew Center on the States reported this month that Massachusetts spent $1.25 billion on its correction system in fiscal year 2008, most of it on parole and probation.

Stronach Tue Jul 01, 2008, 12:36 PM EDT Tools: E-Mail Comments Share StumbleUpon Newsvine del.icio.us Digg Holbrook - Feb. 27, 2007 turned out to be anything but a routine day on the job for Correction Officer Kevin Sheehan of Holbrook. Sheehan, 49, is a Norfolk County Sheriff’s Department correction officer in its transportation department. His job involves taking prisoners to and from correctional facilities or courthouses. Before transporting now convicted rapist Che Sosa, Sheehan, who was accompanied by Capt. John Dunne, was forewarned that anything could happen so he should be prepared. It was an incident that occurred at the Norfolk County Superior Courthouse involving Sosa that earned Sheehan and Dunne medals of valor from the state Department of Public Safety at the 11th annual Correction Officer of the Year awards ceremony. During Sosa’s appearance before a judge as he stood side by side with his defense attorney, John Courtney, Sosa attacked Courtney with a plexi-glass weapon he had fashioned into a knife. Sosa attacked his attorney’s face and attempted to get him in the neck with the approximately seven-inch makeshift knife, Sheehan said. As the attack occurred, Sheehan’s and Dunne’s training took over. Sheehan said he first thought that Sosa had just punched Courtney. Sheehan utilized take down moves and defensive tactics that during his 17 years as a correction officer he’d been trained to use to wrestle Sosa to the ground with Dunne’s assistance. The plexi-glass knife fell out of Sosa’s hand while he was being restrained. Once Sosa was restrained and handcuffed, he was taken to the transport van and back to the Massachusetts Correctional Institute at Cedar Junction in Walpole. “He would have stabbed other people or us if he’d had the chance,” Sheehan said of Sosa. Sheehan described Sosa as a muscular man who knows mixed martial arts. Sosa had made threats to his lawyer prior to the incident, according to Sheehan. “We did the right thing and I’d do it again,” Sheehan said. Sheehan has lived in Holbrook his entire life. He attended Cardinal Spellman High School and graduated from Blue Hills Regional Technical School in 1977. Sheehan is married to Kristen and they have a five-month-old boy named Aiden. As a correction officer, Sheehan has been involved with other altercations over the years, but none of the magnitude of the Sosa incident, he said. Sheehan isn’t the type to back down because of his training and upbringing, and it was just a reaction for him, when he heard Sosa yell out, to enter the fray. “I react first and think about it afterward,” he said. This was the first time Sheehan received a medal of valor. “I was honored to get it,” he said. The award presentation, followed by a luncheon, was held on June 23 in the House Chambers of the Massachusetts State House. Sixteen officers from around the state, including Sheehan, were honored. In attendance were Lt. Gov. Timothy Murray, Secretary of Public Safety Kevin Burke, Department of Correction Commissioner Harold Clarke, and Norfolk County Sheriff Michael Bellotti. Murray and Bellotti presented Sheehan with his award. “Officer Sheehan’s actions were truly heroic,” Bellotti said. “He rushed into a dangerous situation without regard for his own safety. He and his fellow officers deserve tremendous credit.” Leeanne Stronach can be contacted at ltstronach@comcast.net. By Leeanne T.

Author: something i found on [Edit] |
Date Posted: 13:47:15 01/01/09 Thu I have been in this profession for almost 30 years now. I go to a lot a seminars and one thing I have seen in the last decade is a brotherhood that has fallen. We were all in this together. Back in the day your brother stood by you almost regardless of what happen. Now you have brother selling out brother. I know some of it the fear of law suits and the fear of losing a job in these economic times. But the brotherhood should have remained strong. If a brother puts you in a compromising position these days you probably have big brother watching you. So shame on him for putting you in that position, But to the things big brother does not see, Shame on the officer for not standing by your brother. This is a society within a society and the inmates know how to use the system. They know administrations are afraid of law suits and bad publicity, so they use it to their advantage. The problem here is the administration has let it get to this point. Isn’t it time we take the prisons back. I personally hate going to work with my hands tied. An officer gets assaulted and the inmate gets put into segregation, maybe this is where he wanted to be and this was an easy way to get there. So now the video is on so nothing bad can happen to him. Well back in the day this would have had a similar outcome but the process of getting him there would have been different, know what I mean. They feared that process. But we are here for care custody and control right. Well where is the control? We gave it up with inmate rights. I know inmates are people too. But when I go to a store and have a disagreement with a clerk about the price or condition of something, I don’t get urine or feces thrown in my face or worst stabbed. So let’s take into consideration this factor, it’s ok to be assaulted by these cons and have nothing come of it. Let’s see, doing a life bid in segregation what more can you do to this inmate. I have heard many Officers from various states say that they don’t even see inmates get charged with assault criminally. WOW what’s up with that? That is for my fellow Officers I have met from Alabama, Idaho and Massachusetts. Times are changing and I will be leaving in a little over a year, back to normal society but Myself I have been incarcerated for 8.18 years of my life( I did the math) around some of the most demented, evil, sick, twisted people in the world and this will not have an effect on me right. I don’t usually see the good in people anymore. That nice old man at the corner saying hi to my kids (pedophile) the black kid hanging around the outside of the mall (car thief if not worse) the skinny low income lady walking near the park (crack head/prostitute) you all know what I mean. It affects us all in some way. Makes you wonder why Correction Officers have a short life expectancy after quitting. I’m hoping not to be in a box by 58, which is a number giving to our profession. If correct it gives me six years to enjoy what I have worked for. Now if that don’t make you chuckle [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 20:39:27 01/08/09 Thu A woman was taken into custody after police said a gun that she allegedly brought into the Ross County Jail discharged while she was in a holding cell. Victoria Lundy, 41, of Cleveland, was taken to the jail after police reports indicated she was being questioned for possibly firing shots on Warner Avenue on Sunday evening. Lundy was taken into custody for driving with a suspended license. Officers later found that she had a gun on her after the .25 caliber pistol went off in a holding cell, the Chillicothe Gazette reported. According to police reports, another woman in the cell said that Lundy used the bathroom several times and when Lundy sat on the bench, the gun went off. While checking the gun, an officer observed “it had off white-colored liquid substance on the gun with red specks. It appeared to be consistent with vaginal fluid,” according to police reports. No one was injured in the shooting, the newspaper reported. Lundy was also charged with improperly discharging a weapon, illegal conveyance of a weapon and carrying a concealed weapon. She later admitted to the shooting on Warner Avenue, the newspaper reported. source [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 16:28:58 11/26/08 Wed aryan November 26, 2008 --> local news updates updated Wednesday, 3:13 PM From the Metro staff at The Boston Globe DA: Foiled prison break included elaborate disguise November 26, 2008 12:12 PM Email| Comments (15)| Text size – + By John R. Ellement and Shelley Murphy, Globe Staff WRENTHAM -- The elaborate disguise included sunglasses, a wig, fingernail polish, makeup, what a prosecutor described as "latex skin," and a full correction officer's uniform, complete with badges and the proper insignia. The clothes and accessories were allegedly found in the locker of a nurse who works at the super-maximum unit of a prison in Walpole. It was supposed to be the final touch in what was described by Assistant Norfolk District Attorney Jennifer Roe today as an intricate plan to break one of the state's most dangerous inmates out of prison this coming Friday. The nurse, Deborah Girouard, 44, had developed a "relationship" with the inmate, Che Blake Sosa, the prosecutor said today during her arraignment in Wrentham District Court. Girouard had allegedly smuggled a cellphone into MCI Cedar-Junction so she and Sosa could chat, and she gave him a pair of her underwear, Roe said. Prosecutors allege that Girouard had agreed to get Sosa a knife and some dental floss that would help him cut the Plexiglas in his cell. She had allegedly smuggled to him three saw blades, a handcuff key, and a steel clip. Girouard drew the line and said no, however, when Sosa asked for a gun, Roe said. That made Sosa angry, prosecutors said, and he allegedly threatened her in a cellphone call. That call prompted Girouard to go to the Department of Correction on Tuesday, Roe said. Girouard's attorney, Thomas Iovieno, questioned the credibility of anything involving Sosa, who is serving life in prison for a series of rapes and awaiting trial for allegedly stabbing his own lawyer. "She disputes these allegations," Iovieno said, who described his client as a hardworking mother of five. Iovieno added: "She's upset, she's distressed, and she's very despondent." Judge Warren Powers ordered Girouard held without bail pending her next court appearance on Dec. 17. It was unclear how long she has worked at the prison and what her relationship is with Sosa, who is housed in a super-maximum security single-man cell in the prison's Department Disciplinary Unit. He is essentially serving a life sentence for rape convictions this year and last year, because he would not be eligible for parole until he is 118 years old. "I don't know what this nurse was thinking," said Steven Kenneway, president of the Massachusetts Correction Officers Federated Union. "If she's done what she's accused of, she endangered the lives of every employee and inmate at the facility and every citizen of the surrounding communities." Kenneway said the charges highlight the importance of the screening process for contract personnel hired to work at the prisons. "Inmates like Che Sosa have nothing but time to try to figure out a way to get out of prison and when they get help like this, it puts us all at risk," Kenneway said. Sosa has a long history of violence. The convicted serial rapist was accused of stabbing two correction officers with a piece of fencing in his cell at Walpole two years ago. He is also accused of stabbing his lawyer in the face and collarbone with a makeshift plastic knife in February 2007 during jury selection in a Dedham courtroom for his trial on charges of raping a Quincy woman in 2001. His lawyer survived the attack, which authorities say was unprovoked. Sosa, defended by a new lawyer, was convicted of the rape and sentenced to 55 years in prison. Earlier this year, the 5-foot-11, 240-pound Sosa was shackled to a chair and flanked by about a dozen court and correction officers during his trial in Suffolk Superior Court for the 1995 rape of a Jamaica Plain woman. He was convicted and sentenced to 35 to 40 years, to be served after his previous sentence. Testifying in his own defense, Sosa told jurors, "I love women, all type of women. But, I certainly don't rape them." On the website www.friendsbeyondthewall.com, Sosa offers a profile of himself, lists his release date as "unknown," and tells potential pen pals, "don't be dismayed by my projected release date." He writes that in the 20 years he has spent in and out of prison, this is the first ad he has placed seeking companionship. He says he gives loyalty and expects it back. "I'm looking for a friendship and I am open for more, if that is to be," Sosa wrote. "I'm extremely passionate and my empathy is far and wide. Thus, I seek a woman of like makeup. She has to be compassionate, nonjudgmental." Globe correspondent John M. Guilfoil contributed to this report. Shelley Murphy can be reached at shmurphy@globe.com. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 17:16:56 11/27/08 Thu DA says nurse revealed plot after threat She enters plea in foiled prison escape WRENTHAM - The date had been chosen, the disguise that would make the prisoner look like a correction officer was stuffed in a locker, and the inmate had a smuggled saw to cut through the pane of Plexiglas that kept him in his cell, officials said. A Norfolk County prosecutor alleged yesterday that Deborah Girouard, 44, a registered nurse working at MCI-Cedar Junction in Walpole, had provided the tools Che Blake Sosa was planning to use in a chilling escape from the prison where the serial rapist is supposed to remain for another 80 years. "It was a serious, well-developed plan," Norfolk District Attorney William R. Keating said in a telephone interview yesterday. "Friday was the discussed time to have the escape occur." But the plot was foiled when Girouard abruptly went to authorities Tuesday after Sosa, 39, threatened to kill her if she did not continue to cooperate with his escape plan, a scheme that evolved after they had developed a "relationship," Norfolk Assistant District Attorney Jennifer Rowe said yesterday at Girouard's arraignment. Authorities believe the relationship had grown over the past several months. Girouard, of Ashby, pleaded not guilty in Wrentham District Court yesterday to charges of delivering contraband to an inmate and aiding a felon in an escape. The plot unraveled when she called the Department of Correction's internal security office and asked "WHETHER ANY CORRECTIONAL OFFICERS HAD BEEN KILLED" Tuesday. Girouard then allegedly made an extended tape-recorded confession, Rowe said. Girouard's lawyer, Thomas Iovieno, questioned the credibility of anything involving Sosa, who is serving multiple prison sentences for a series of rapes and is awaiting trial for allegedly stabbing his lawyer in 2007 during jury selection. "She disputes these allegations," said Iovieno, who described his client as a hardworking nurse. "She's upset, she's distressed, and she's very despondent." Rowe said State Police searched Girouard's locker at the state prison. Inside, they found the preparations for an elaborate disguise that included sunglasses, a wig, fingernail polish, makeup, and a correction officer's uniform, complete with badges and the proper insignia. Prosecutors allege that Girouard had smuggled into the prison and given Sosa three saw blades, a handcuff key, and a large metal paper clip. At Sosa's request, Girouard had purchased a knife, but balked at buying him a gun. She also allegedly provided Sosa with a cellphone they used to communicate with each other. When Sosa threatened to kill her Tuesday in a cellphone conversation, Girouard disclosed the plan, the prosecutor said. Girouard has five children, two of them with a former husband who was in court yesterday but would identify himself only by his first name, David. With the arrest of Girouard, David told reporters that he was going to seek full custody of his two children, ages 9 and 7, but that he had no plans to request a permanent end to the maternal relationship. "I don't want to keep them away from their mother; they still need their mother," he said. "I need to get them out of the environment they are living in." He said he was stunned by the bizarre nature of the charges against his former wife. "She is not a stupid woman. She is a very bright woman; she has a high IQ," he said. "But it doesn't seem possible. It just sounds so asinine that something like this is happening. After hearing all the allegations, it's like: 'My God. Where did you take a left turn and keep going?' " The Department of Correction would not comment on the case or security procedures because the Sosa case is under investigation by Keating's office. Girouard has worked for the UMass Correctional Health program, part of UMass Medical School in Worcester. Spokesman Mark Shelton said she was hired in 2005 as a registered nurse and had worked at MCI-Shirley before moving to MCI-Cedar Junction. He would not discuss why she changed job assignments, but said she was placed on leave without pay following her arrest. Judge Warren Powers ordered Girouard held without bail pending her next court appearance, on Dec. 17, but her lawyer will challenge that order tomorrow in Norfolk Superior Court in Dedham [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |
