HOW DID ILLEGAL SUBSTANCES AND MONEY GET INTO THE FACILITY, WHY THE COVER UP?

Here we go again readers. It has been reported that last week a young man was returned to Connecticut Juvenile Training School for some infraction. The issue about this story revolves around how he entered without being searched really well. A glaring fault at CJTS has been the lack of professionalism by staff during searches of residents- whether after visits or admittance into the facility - and this is problematic. Activist Cornell Lewis, a former CJTS employee, sent mails to administrators a few years ago about the lack of security during searches. Lewis did this after noticing how relaxed the searches of residents were after visits. Cornell was contacted by one administrator about the e mail  [ this is confirmed as the result of documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act ]. Apparently nothing really changed after receiving Lewis's e mails. Now it has come to the attention of this blog [ by sources ] that a newly admitted resident somehow was able to sneak into a locked down facility with marijuana, pills, and paper currency. Say what? Is anyone watching the hen house?

At this juncture it boggles the imagination how management continues making mistakes that endanger employees and residents: not long ago a resident tried using  sheets and climbing a fence to escape, he had on street clothes and paper money. It seems as if management has no control over the actions of staff or lower level administrators; how else can you explain the constant mistakes that occur. This latest episode however is dangerous for several reasons; if residents are not searched properly then being admitted, any type of weapon or drug is subject to be brought in. What is really reprehensible is how CJTS management has kept the incident from being known to DCF officials at Hudson Street headquarters. Now there is a conspiracy to make sure the incident is not known to the public. Should not the general population know if Key Stone Cop administrators are not doing their jobs? Hell, and what about the safety of residents at this facility; someone consumes drugs and dies then what ??

In closing the FOIA documents show that administrators did know about the problem of lackadaisical searches of residents and communicated their concerns by e mail. In the next segment of this story the names of those administrators will be disclosed.
