The definition of victim is “ one who suffers from an action or event” and all over the DCF Plantation people suffer from injustice daily. This staff writer received information from reliable sources about another incident involving Barray Monteiro at CJTS. For readers who don’t know Barray is a Youth Services Officer at Connecticut Juvenile Training School and recently beat an investigation that seemed specifically aimed at him [ read the earlier stories posted on this blog ].
On August 1, 2014 Barray came to CJTS for an overtime position on Unit 2B around 5:30am. He consulted with other YSOs on the Unit 2B then took members of the football team up for practice on the field. He did not think anything was wrong and continued doing what coaches do when instructing young men in the art of football i.e. block, tackle, and finish the play. It is reported that while on the field Barray was paged over the radio YSOs carry but did not hear the summons due to youth hollering, whistles blowing and noise in general. At this point something strange occurred and needs explanation. Barray supposedly received verbal chastisement from management for not being on his Unit 2B; management informed Barray that there were call outs from the job and someone [ Barray ] had to fill in the vacant position. Since Barray worked overtime the alternative was to place him in the unfilled position. Then sources report the language implied maybe Barray committed insubordination by not being at Unit 2B. Well as the story unfolds other higher management types looked into the situation and found ( are you surprised?) there was no need to cover a vacant position- lo and behold a mistake had been made. Black holes may exist in the vastness of space but at CJTS no scheduling hole could be found.
Barray did not have to leave the football field, someone made a mistake. Now this staff writer does not want to engage in conspiracy theories: two weeks or so after Barray’s Spanish Inquisition is called off without discipline another incident materializes. For years employees at CJTS talked about Workplace Bullying; management using policy or procedure to intimidate, harass, discipline or terminate people. What do we call this latest escapade involving Barray.
In conclusion someone has to look at what is going on at CJTS and conclude it ain’t right
