Keeping you safe because we say so
This is just plain wrong. The SuperMax prison is designed to hold the worst of the worst in the prison systems. And like everything else the Bushoviks touch, they want to run it on the cheap.
Just a little OT, but with 12 prisons in her district Buffie sure does represent a fun place.
Staffing at the Supermax prison has fallen so low that job hazards have increased for correctional officers watching over the nation’s worst terrorists, an arbitrator has ruled.Hell, the war in Iraq and Katrina rebuilding and even air traffic control are being done on the cheap, why not prisons. Which is not to say that a lot of money doesn't get appropriated, it just doesn't end up where they said it would.
The arbitrator stopped short of ordering the Bureau of Prisons to hire more staff, but union officials representing Supermax officers said the ruling would bolster their argument to Congress for more prison funding.
“If the most maximum security federal penitentiary is indeed understaffed, what is happening across the entire Bureau of Prisons as far as staffing levels?” asked state Rep. Buffie McFadyen, who testified for the union at an arbitration hearing in May. Her district includes Supermax and 11 other state and federal prisons.
Just a little OT, but with 12 prisons in her district Buffie sure does represent a fun place.
