CLINICAL STAFF ARE TENDING TO NATIVES BUT IGNORE ALL ELSE

The clinical staff at Connecticut Juvenile Training School are tending to mental needs of incarcerated residents. Yet, these same enlightened clinicians are not addressing the bias or injustice that administration at CJTS heap upon Youth Service Officers. How can these enlightened clinicians ignore something so obvious to the understanding of a thinking professional? Well, it might be said that these clinicians are being paid good salaries (vacations, nice cars, insurance benefits,etc) therefore it is easy to turn away from a truth and tend to the natives, plus caring for CJTS residents is safer than confrontting real injustices. When asked by YSOs to help in the fight against bias on DCF Plantations these clinicans come up with verbal arguments worthy of the Greek Cynic Diogenes or the Roman orator Cicero. Ah yes, tending to the natives but ignore all else is their mantra.
