    DOC . . Management
    Two faced and cruel
    I have had many supervisors in my 20 years with this department. Some were really great. I miss them cause most saw what was coming. The rest of the snakes are still around and protected. I have to throw out the "example" that started this blog for me. The food service manager at Tipton is a two faced that will throw you under the bus. He talks to you to get you to talking. Demeaning everyone at central office. Bitching more than anyone for being essential staff. Yet he places the burden of having to work on others. Truly he is protected by the same people he puts down. He treats his staff like dogs. He knows enough policy to worm around the rules. He lives on that fine line and crosses but it can't be proven. He has sexually harassed with his inmate workers present. He demeans the staff with inmates and staff witnessing his actions. His family, who are inmates, are fed very well when they arrive at TCC. He talks wardens to allow special treatment yet to him they are dumb asses.
    He is severely corrupt and it is well known.
    This is just ONE. There are many. Wardens love the corrupt staff who are willing to do what is asked of them to get rid of good staff. Sad this is just one of many that cause life altering, disgusting acts yet they are sheltered so they can continue for the Wardens.
    What a nasty, scared and evil little man.

Yet Another Staff Member Assaulted at JCCC

Image
Sometimes, the things that are hard to look at are what the people need to see. Brutal assaults at Jefferson City Correctional Center have been on the rise. The department tends to not report them or to creatively report them as non life-threatening injuries rather than attempted murders. Offenders have beaten, stomped and stabbed officers with little response from administration. The Department tries to keep this information from the public because the truth is disruptive to their corrupt scheme. If people see the reality of the prison system and the dangers to staff, it will be a lot more difficult for central office to rob the people blind and profit on the backs of the officers they throw to the wolves. The latest JCCC Staff assault occurred when a segregation Offender attacked an officer with a homemade weapon. The officer was cut and stabbed leaving him with deep lacerations on his face. This officer will have scars for the rest of his life inside and out. The offender ma

Missouri Department of Corrections: A Case Study in Management Failure

It is a fact that the quality of your employees is directly connected to how they are treated by management. If an employee is treated as though they are valued and respected, they will give the most to their job. In terms of staff retention, the key is so simple that it's honestly a bit confusing how so many managers don't understand it. The key to keeping your staff is to give them a job they don't want to leave. Sounds simple right? Well, it's taken many years for employers to realize this concept. What it comes down to is the way we look at the relationship between employer and employee. Should an employee be thankful for having a job that puts food on the table? Of course, but should the employer be equally thankful to the staff for the work they do? Again, this sounds like an easy yes, but employers often miss this part of the equation. When thinking of this particular error in management, I am reminded of an Officer who left the Missouri Department of Corr

The Department of Corrections Does Very Little Correcting

Image
Corrections is an interesting term for the prison system. The word prison itself is really only used out of habit as most such institutions are now called Correctional facilities. Somewhere a long time ago people decided that prison sounds too harsh. It sounds like a place where convicts are thrown to punish them for their crimes. "Wouldn't it he better if we were correcting, not punishing?" They thought. The idea of a prison being a bad place for bad people was slowly replaced by the concept that facilities could be used to rehabilitate those who had turned to a life of crime. The idea of rehabilitation is admirable. Turning a life around rather than throwing it away in a dark prison cell is certainly more beneficial to us all. However, not all are capable of rehabilitation and many of those who are, are not given what they need to change. This is the problem with calling modern-day prisons "Correctional Centers." Prison is kind of like sending your kid
