The story was posted on this blog recently about how Youth Service Officer Kevin Strachen got involved in a situation at the Pueblo Girls facility. Strachen [ and Unit Leader from Connecticut Juvenile Training School ] went to an emergency call [ code blue ] because female residents could not be managed by on site staff at Pueblo House. While on the facility grounds the UL made a decision that required the female residents to be placed in their rooms. After the incident was over management reviewed video tapes and concluded Strachen did something wrong i.e. accidently closed a room door on resident's arm. At this juncture CJTS management placed Strachen on paid administrative leave while launching an investigation ( called 136 ), and hiding under protection of mandated reporter status.
Strachen was part of a class action lawsuit in 2010 claiming white management within CJTS created hostile working conditions among employees of color. Since that time the lawsuit has been settled and two workers -part of the lawsuit- no longer are employed at CJTS. However this settlement has not stopped CJTS Key Stone Cops management from targeting those three employees [ for discipline ] remaining at CJTS. It is reported from sources that Kevin Strachen returned May 12, 2015 after being cleared of any wrong doing as it relates to the Pueblo Girls facility restraint. However the real issue revolves around vindictive management targeting people of color they feel threaten the white apartheid hierarchy on the CJTS / DCF plantation.
At this juncture Kevin Strachen returns to the CJTS Plantation in spite of being targeted.
