The comments from anonymous sources about events on the DCFplantation satellite Connecticut Juvenile Training School continue to come in. There is a lot of ill will toward CJTS management about perceived double standards when discipline is doled out to staff of different ethnic backgrounds (read people of color vs whites). In the last few weeks tensions have escalated to the breaking point among Youth Services Officers due to several incidents and non handling of them. YSOs are pointing out how a certain white YSO is being protected because he does favors for management (watching and reporting on co-workers). While a white based management protects one of their own, people of color are cast off alone (no support from management only harsher discipline). To make a point several sources cited the following examples from CJTS.
* a white YSO is being protected by management even though 3 weeks or so ago he could not account for a
resident in his care for almost an hour (i.e. the kid was lost). No investigation whatsoever.
* a YSO of color is being throughly investigated over an incident of possibly not knowing where a kid was
for a shorter period of time than the white YSO.
* a white YSO is being accused by people of color of promoting disharmony among staff by using language
considered to be racist. CJTS management at the time of this posting has failed to take action because of
what reason(s)? Last time I checked using racist language or writing letters with such was / is viewed as
creating a hostile workplace environment.
What I have recounted to you is but the tip of the racist iceberg seen visually. Below the horizon a much
larger problem looms for DCFplantation management. Documents detailing a white YSOs physical assault on a resident several years ago are circulating openly on the DCFplantation. People have approached this website and asked for a story and documents to be published, describing a cover up of a white YSO abusing a resident of color and receiving a small penalty. In the future watch this website for possible details of whites protecting their own while casting people of color off alone
