PLANTATION HAS NO DIRECTION, TROUBLE ON UNIT 5D, RESIDENT SENT TO WRONG HOSPITAL

The Connecticut Juvenile Training School is spiraling out of control due to lack of leadership. Since the Child Advocate released her critical report about CJTS, management is running scared. Let me be clear. CJTS has always been dysfunctional and KeyStone Cops management operated that facility badly. However now directives are going out preventing Youth Service Officers from doing their jobs; residents are getting bold by saying " you [ YSOs ] cannot touch me so fuck going to bed at the designated time". To show you how out of control things are, consider an incident September 17, 2015 while CJTS residents were in school. Sources report that a resident decided not to stay in school... then ran outside onto the facility grounds. For almost 30 minutes the resident wandered the plantation facility while YSOs just stood and looked. KeyStone Cops management are reluctant to do anything that might cause more scrutiny from law makers or the Child Advocate Office. At this juncture lawmakers seem poised to try and close this dysfunctional facility that costs 30 million dollars to operate yearly. While Rome burns Nero fiddles. While CJTS spirals out of control management sits in their offices scared of shadows on the wall.

What is going on in Unit 5D with residents ? Sources report how this certain resident is spitting on and biting staff. Instead of trying to contain the problem, dysfunctional management refuses to address the biting or spitting. The resident in question is saying how no one can restrain him. He knows about publicity focused on CJTS, and this leads to acting out behaviors when management does not operate to restore rule of law. This attitude is shared by all residents at CJTS.

Finally to highlight the problems at CJTS let us look at the following incident. The resident is acting out behaviorally on his Unit. Someone decided to make the decision to send this resident to get help from hospital professionals. The original decision was to send the resident to Sol Norit South Hospital. However lack of communication between management / supervisors allowed the resident to be sent to Middlesex Hospital. Say what ??  This is the height of  incompetence, you send a person in need of help to the wrong location, due to poor communication from the Assistant Superintendent in charge of Pueblo Girls Unit. It is reported by YSOs that Assistant Superintendent Christy Ramsey's lack of communication skills might possibly be a factor in sending the resident to the wrong hospital. DCF Plantation blog cannot verify this with Ramsey due to the fact the blog's staff is considered persona non grata. CJTS staff has been told not to talk with blog staff writers.
