There are new details that are emerging from Connecticut Juvenile Training School about the attempt to sneak in a gun at that facility. The story has been reported to this blog that a 14 year old incarcerated resident was being bullied on Unit 4D by peers. In trying to deal with the situation the resident planned to have his step father bring a loaded gun inside a sneaker box. The staff working inside Master Control booth searched the box and found this gun. It is reported that the family member trying to get this weapon into CJTS has been arrested : did management try and sweep the incident under the rug?? Youth Services Officers working at CJTS have reported how no information about the incident was passed on to employees or staff.
What also must be looked at critically is how inept management in charge of CJTS allowed lackadaisical policies regarding visiting room searches to allow such a thing to be attempted. There have been instances of contraband being smuggled into CJTS during visits before [ report employees ] but nothing approaching sneaking a gun into this facility. In the past Key Stone Cops management witnessed residents trying to climb over the fence with sheets, white female employee calling residents of color porch monkeys, lawsuits alleging racism and discrimination, right wing white male harassing peers of color plus much more. It is clear that the present CJTS leadership does not effectively run that facility. However, with all the above mentioned incidents [ plus a vote of no confidence against the superintendent ] things continue to spiral out of control with no person seemingly in charge.
In conclusion we have to ask where is the Unit Leader of 4D ?
Did the UL have any idea that this alleged bullying was taking place?
You cannot lead any Unit at CJTS if you are never around or out on Worker Compensation most of the time.
