MEMBERS OF THE DCF PLANTATION 5 STILL UNDER ATTACK

The unrelenting and insidious attacks against members of the DCF Plantation 5 at Connecticut Juvenile Training School continues. These two people were part of a group that launched that class action lawsuit [ 2010 ] charging bias, racism, gender discrimination among other things against white management at CJTS / DCF. Scott Beck / Cornell Lewis no longer work at the plantation but three remaining member do. And what makes the harassment so weird is that all five members settled the case back in September of 2014. Yet management went after two remaining members and are seeking revenge. One black male named Kevin Strachen is a case in point. Kevin was involved in a hands on restraint in Unit 6B not long ago and for some reason management chose to investigate the incident. Now Kevin did not use excessive force with the male resident, but a Director of Residential Care approached Strachen with these words " let us view the incident on video. We believe the video gives you the opportunity for a teachable moment."

A black female employee ( also part of the lawsuit ) is being singled out for retaliation by white male administrative staff. The female in question has filed numerous complaints about workplace violence against her person. The white male administrator and fellow cohorts formed a cabal with intent to undermine this woman's effectiveness in performing job duties. At this juncture do not expect leaders at the plantation to admit wrong doing towards this two fighters for social freedom. No, white management just continues to perpetuate the kind of racist actions that are causing people to march in the streets all over America.
Have these people learned nothing??
