This past year KPMG did a report for the Florida Senate on DOC.
Did you know that over 20 of the 55 facilities have staffing shortages in the double digits?
Would you work in an environment that was short staffed, lacked a/c, required excessive amount of over time and was a high stress environment?
DOC has an immediate need of $2.2 billion in facilities, basics like plumbing, electrical, windows, parking, security, roofs, flooring, lock controls, wastewater treatment, lighting and so on. Would you work there?
Ask your Legislator why they only supported a mere $100 million of a $2.2 billon immediate need for facilities.
If you want to lock people up for crimes, then you need to provide a safe place for an Officer to work.
Incidents like this should not happen!!
Thank you for your frequent reporting on Century CI and FDC.
For those of you unfamiliar with punishment at the DOC, his formal charge should be below. DC is Disciplinary Confinement and GT is their Gain Time they have.
Maximum Disciplinary Actions
SECTION 1 – ASSAULT, BATTERY, THREATS, AND DISRESPECT
1-7
Aggravated battery or attempted aggravated battery on a correctional officer
90 DC + All GT
1-11
Aggravated assault or attempted aggravated assault on a correctional officer
90 DC + All GT
Normally they are also transferred during or immediately after their DC is complete.
@D. Flowers, he will be put in confinement for a while, probably transferred to a cm prison. But take away his gym time??? It’s absolutely hilarious that you think prisons have a gym for prisoners!
The officer assaulted in this case did not need to have surgery. Additionally, this inmate was placed in confinement without his pleasantries, and then the entirety of the dorm was placed on lock down due to the assault. Not only was the dorm placed on lock down, all canteen and rec yard services was shut down for the day.
This is the problem with someone who has nothing to lose what’s he gonna get a transfer anywhere he goes is closer to home. So the officer that got assaulted had to have surgery but the prison officials didn’t even lock down the the yard they made sure the inmates Got there, burritos, oatmeal, pies, and ramen soup
3 hots and a cot, a menace in society and a menace in prison.
He has nothing to lose and obviously has no remorse or concern even while in prison so quit wasting taxpayer money on this guy and put him out of society’s misery. Prison should be rehabilitation, not a free place to live and eat with better medical care than law abiding citizens
Take away his gym and TV privileges for 2 weeks. If that doesn’t work, make him get his GED.
He made the choice to be there , we all have a choice ….No pity at all
