DISPOSABLE YOUTH ON THE PLANTATION

There are two stories about young incarcerated men at Connecticut Juvenile Training School that reeks of not caring about them from management. The first tale of disposable youth is from Unit 5B. It is reported that this male returned to CJTS after being personally involved in a car accident. The youth was in the car that hit a person and then reportedly, shearing off both their legs. Now the youth in the car at the time of this accident had already been a guest of  CJTS several times. However he still had some worth i.e. insurance for housing etc. Other youth on Unit 5B said "I guess this guy can use a car, hit someone and take off their legs, then come back to CJTS. If nothing happens to him for hitting that person with a vehicle. Then if I kill someone no big deal is it."

Another youth from Stamford also had been incarcerated in CJTS on several occasions. However now it is reported one day KeyStone Cops management decided to dispose of the youth. This particular person had reached the peak of his usefulness i.e. the limit of commitment had been reached. Also CJTS no longer could collect any money from the person's insurance. What did management come up with as a solution ? The youth was literally discharged back to Stamford with no regard for possible danger to him in the environment. Barely one week after being released this youth CJTS disposed-was shot multiple times. He is in critical condition in Stamford at this time.

People are not discussing how CJTS et al. just dump disposable youth like the two in this story.

TWO RESIDENTS OF UNIT 5 DELTA ESCAPE , SIT ON GREEN HOUSE, CHILLIN' IN THE SUN

What in hell is going on at Connecticut Juvenile Training School in Middletown, CT ? It has been reported that something truly strange occurred July 18, 2017 on Unit 5 Delta. Two male residents were on the Unit and decided to wild out. The two residents watched a male staff place his bag in plain sight with personal items inside. Now it is a rule Youth Service Officers at CJTS place belongings in the secure staff office. For whatever reason the personal bag did not go in the staff office. One resident went down near the electronic door leading out of the Unit 5 D. The other resident grabbed the YSO's bag, then hit the button opening the electronic door. Resident one made sure it stayed open. They both ran out to the CJTS grounds. From this point on the story reads like some old Woody Allen movie.

Both residents ran to the Green House and climbed up onto the roof. Once sitting high on their throne, both residents took out the YSO's electronic cigarette and smoked it. Oh it gets better folks. While smoking the e -cigarette the escapees took out the YSO's cell phone holding it in their hand. It is reported staff and management just stood looking.

I just can't find words to express yet another episode of foolishness at the CJTS Plantation.

SERVICE PROVIDERS DISCUSS HOW DCF MOVES AROUND CLIENTS TO PAD STATISTICS

The service providers from several agencies sat in a room with this writer not long ago with a story of deception and dangerous clients. It is reported that the Department of Children and Families frequently use their position and financial wealth for the purposes of "client dumping." Let me be clear. This is what the service providers said to the writer. "DCF will send us one client or more with very little notice or paper work. When we receive the client in many instances he or she is older and not appropriate for our program. Then it is said that the client is only going to stay at our facility for a few days. After the allotted time draws near DCF will manipulate the situation and the client is now staying longer." I asked what is the purpose of all the duplicity and intrigue by DCF and got this reply. "DCF is under a Consent Decree and must improve client services and outcomes. The Consent Decree has been in place for years and is meant to help DCF clean up cases of clients being lost in the system or not receiving adequate care. However in order for DCF to have higher scores from Consent Decree monitors, clients are sent to any facility that DCF can dump them at. Then this state funded agency can check the client (s) off a list for Consent Decree monitors to peruse."

Another service provider runs an agency for specific clients with targeted age limits. But DCF often sends clients who are physically aggressive... low functioning intellectually and prone to run away. Again the scenario goes like this "DCF gives some discharge date for the person , yet one day before the scheduled release an official from DCF calls and asks for a extension for the client. This game is played for three - four weeks and the agency caring for the client becomes frustrated." If the agency is fuming over this shell game what about the client's feelings ?

Please let it be noted how most of the clients mentioned in this story getting sent to inappropriate agencies for treatment are black...Hispanic. In the final analysis maybe that is why this happens. Just saying.
