INMATE OVERCROWDING AND UNDER STAFFED CORRECTIONAL OFFICERS. HOW MANY TIMES DOES THE SHERIFF AND THE BOARD OF STUPIDVISORS NEED TO HEAR THERE IS A VERY BIG PROBLEM IN THE COUNTY JAILS.
THE GRAND JURY HAS BEEN TELLING THEM FOR YEARS ( I TOLD YOU IN ANOTHER POST I MADE, THAT NO ONE TAKES THE GRAND JURY SERIOUSLY. THIS JUST PROVES IT.) THE BOARD OF CORRECTIONS IN TWO DIFFERENT REPORTS HAVE COMMENTED ON THE STAFFING LEVELS.
THERE ARE SHERIFFS IN CALIFORNIA THAT HAVE CLOSED PARTS OF THEIR JAILS OR HAVE EVEN REFUSED TO OPEN BRAND NEW JAILS BECAUSE THEY LACKED THE STAFF TO RUN THESE FACILITIES SECURELY AND SAFELY
.
PAZIN COULD DO THE SAME THING IF HE HAD A PAIR. WHAT DO YOU THINK THE CITIZENS OF MERCED COUNT WOULD DO, IF THE SHERIFF SAID " IN TWO WEEKS I WILL BE FORCED TO RELEASE 200 INMATES FROM CUSTODY BECAUSE I DON’T HAVE THE OFFICERS TO STAFF OUR JAILS SAFELY."
THIS SURE WOULD GET THE ATTENTION OF THE BOARD OF STUPIDVISORS.
THE OTHER THING THAT AMAZES ME IS, THE CORRECTIONAL OFFICERS HAVE A UNION (MANY OFFICERS HAVE LEFT THIS UNION AND GONE TO ANOTHER ONE, SO THIS TELLS YOU HOW GOOD THE CORRECTIONS UNION IS) THE OFFICERS WHO RUN THIS UNION ARE THE SAME ONES WHO ARE IN HARMS WAY IF THINGS GET UGLY. YOU WOULD THINK FOR THEIR OWN SAFETY THEY WOULD BE YELLING AND SCREAMING. I CAN TELL YOU WHY THE UNION ISN’T BEING MORE VOCAL, SOME OF THE UNION LEADERS ARE PLAYING POLITICS AND DON’T WANT TO STIR UP THE SHERIFF.
TO THOSE WHO ARE STILL IN THE CORRECTIONS UNION, TELL YOUR LEADERS YOUR CONCERNS AND DEMAND THE UNION TAKE A STRONG STAND ON STAFFING. IF THEY DON’T, GET OUT OF THE UNION, WHAT GOOD IS IT. ITS YOUR SAFETY WE ARE TALKING ABOUT.

You know, its funny how you talk about “wrong doings” and “Illegal acts”. I remember way back when, a Correctional Sergeant was investigated for using unnecessary force on an inmate which was handcuffed at the time. As I recall, the recommendation from the “third floor” what to fire this Sergeant. But through intervention from their friend, the then assistant Sheriff Henry Strength, this Sergeant kept their job, and later went on to retire and stand on their internet soap box and make Blogs in attempt to bring out into the open the very “Good Old Boy” system that saved their butts so many times. Sound like someone you know?
Most of us at the Sheriff’s Department are happy with the way things are going. We are on the road to recovery with Sheriff Pazin and the currant administration. There is still a few throwbacks’ from the past administration that feel because their leader was dethroned or should I say ousted, it is their mission in life to bring the rest of us down.
Find some hobbies, take up knitting, and enjoy retirement. Your time has come and gone.
