YOUTH SERVICE OFFICER DUPREE IS ANOTHER BLACK MALE FACING DISCIPLINE ON THE PLANTATION

The signs are clear at Connecticut Juvenile Training School that black male employees suffer disproportionate discipline than other ethnic groups.  For years case after case of bias against Youth Service Officers have one thing in common----black males are singled out, victimized or emasculated by Key Stone Cops management. Let us look at the latest case involving Youth Service Officer Dupree. People notice Dupree immediately because of his size, the brother is built like a Sherman Tank. And perhaps Dupree's weight lifter body is the cause of fear that made management target him -some claim unfairly- for discipline.

Reliable sources report that Dupree was working on Unit 4D on April 1, 2015 when incarcerated residents started a riot situation, fighting peers etc. According to sources, YSO Dupree's co-worker was on an activity with other residents and could not assist in quelling the riot. After Dupree and other YSOs contained the riot, things returned to normal on Unit 4D ( or so it seemed ). As usual management reviewed tape of Dupree trying to contain residents rioting and decided something was wrong with what they saw. Ergo, management decided on April 16th to place Dupree on Administrative Leave for being negligent ( rough in handling residents ) during the riot. In almost 4 years of employment YSO Dupree never received disciplinary action due to improper restraint techniques-so why now ?? To further boggle the thinking of rational people, management recently allowed a white male employee back on the property despite several incidents e.g. (1) physically hitting a resident several years ago, (2) being terminated and allowed back at CJTS under strict guidelines / sanctions, (3) being escorted off the property AGAIN a few weeks ago- not allowed within sight of the facility, (4) then finally reinstated and given his YSO status back. However YSO Dupree ( the huge black employee ) is treated shamefully because management does not interact well with black male employees. DCF Plantation blog has printed statistics gained through Freedom of Information Act documents showing disproportionate discipline of black and Latino males.

However now CJTS management is trying to get a judge to sign warrants that will allow police to arrest Dupree.   What the hell is going on inside the thinking of CJTS administrators ? People actually seeking to have this black man arrested while another white male employee gets multiple chances and keeps his job!! To make matters worse the white male YSO roams CJTS grounds bragging " I am like Jesus Christ, the more management tries to bury me, the more I am resurrected."

Dupree is another black male facing discipline on the DCF Plantation.
