RIOTERS ON UNIT 6 B CLEARED OF CHARGES, THREE EMPLOYESS HURT DUE TO MIXED MESSAGES FROM MANAGEMENT

The sources within the Connecticut Juvenile Training School report more dysfunctional actions by Key Stone Cops management. This blog reported last week how residents on Unit 6B refused to go into their room and staff were close to calling the State Police. Well, thankfully residents were finally ushered into their rooms without incident. However Supervisors on Unit 6B came to the conclusion that residents needed to be cleared of all charges against them -associated with the riot. It defies all explanation as to why management cleared residents of charges due to rioting. Sources report this is clearing residents of responsibility for their actions is par for the course from 6Bsupervisors. It seems there are tendencies from management to pamper residents or look at them through the eyes of Oprah or Dr. Phil. CJTS has no direction as to how residents shall be disciplined. All Unit Leaders act independently as it relates to discipline, there is no rule of law at the facility.

When Unit 6B supervisors absolved residents of riot charges it sent the wrong message. Even the resident caught with a sharpened half of broom stick handle in his room was given the proverbial slap on the hand for discipline. Now after the broom stick man got off the hook, he of course acted out behaviorally. Rumor has it the broom stick man acted out in the CJTS school and refused to adhere to staff directions. He threatened to hit male Youth Service Officers. When this resident tried to hit a female YSO three males were attempting to restrain him. However a former Director of Residential Care who now works as Operations Officers gave orders not to handcuff the residents. Then this resident ran out of the school onto CJTS grounds. The residents broke out windows in the green house and other buildings. At this juncture three male YSOs were forced to restraint this resident, and in the process were hurt. Now all three YSOs are out on Workers Compensation due to indecisive actions of management.
