GETTING RID OF CONTRADICTIONS ON THE PLANTATION

When regimes, countries, kingdoms or businesses have problems they think it is best to hide them. No country wants to make public human rights abuses, or mistreatment of the homeless or mentally ill. This is especially true if that country, regime, or business proclaims to be a democratic and fair place. What usually happens if excesses are taking place is to hide them from sight.. get rid of them. A look inside the DCF Plantation or Connecticut Juvenile Training School reveals a duplicity taking place; management claims to be caring for youth while really doing something else. That something else is has been identified as mistreatment of employees of color by terminating them more than other ethnic group .Both agencies try hiding such a contradiction by offering a persona of  embracing the child who is in need of protection.Who cannot accept such a noble narrative?

However we then look at what has recently taken place within the DCF Plantation and discover a contradiction : activists  [ the DCF Plantation 5 ] launched a class action lawsuit against CJTS in 2010 and alleged racism, bias and injustice were taking place. At no time did CJTS management address any of those issues in that lawsuit; time and energy however were spent on trying to discredit members of the DCF Plantation 5... in particular Cornell Lewis. Other members of the lawsuit are under constant scrutiny by white administrators and those black staff buying into the massa's mindset. In the case of Lewis a vicious attack on his character by white management culminated in CJTS terminating him  on charges that Ray Charles could see were suspicious. After an incident that occurred while Lewis was working, white administrators jumped on the chance to get rid of their personal contradiction Cornell Lewis. If white management of the DCF Plantation are as fair and even handed as they proclaim, then why did Lewis -for 5 years- protest to the high heavens racism and bias existed? Surely in such an idyllic milieu as CJTS there was no need for Lewis et al. to launch a lawsuit. Ergo, there is a contradiction that white people were forced to get rid of in 2013... Lewis.

Now there is still racial animus at CJTS because a white female employee called black residents " porch monkeys" in October of 2013 and she recently received a 15 day unpaid suspension. If there are no problems on the plantation then what is up with "porch monkey." In the final analysis oppressors will always try to hide contradiction in their own society; in this manner it makes the oppressor look better publicly and residents of that fraudulent society can hide from the truth.

INCIDENT IN BUILDING # 6 AND NO RESPONSE FROM MANAGEMENT

The management at Connecticut Juvenile Training School is highly dysfunctional when it comes to implementation of disciplining employees. In the last year CJTS [ Key Stone Cops type]  management terminated several Youth Service Officers for looking at a computer and not noticing two residents fighting. Now it has come to the attention of this blog site that on March 28,2014 a similar incident occurred i.e. two residents fighting while a new staff looked at a computer ( was it work related ? ). Sources inside CJTS report a staff was transfixed at a computer screen while two residents fought in a bathroom on a Unit in building # 6. This fight was known because another resident told the staff about it. Staff then called for assistance to help breakup the fisticuffs. To make matters worse the new staff wrote this fracas up in a report and placed it in CJTS data base called Conduit. At this juncture the entire fight has been swept under the rug so to speak.

"What is good for the goose is good for the gander" so goes the saying: management did not place this staff
 on paid administrative leave like three YSOs last year ( for the same type of situation ). I wonder if the YSO in bldg # 6 will be investigated or terminated like those YSOs last year from Unit 4D? How can leadership at CJTS fail to act decisively in this case of a fight in bldg # 6 when they did so last year when a fight took place in 4D? Well, one reason management moved quickly in the 4D incident is because that issue was used as a pretext to attack activist Cornell Lewis for exposing racism / bias at CJTS. Now it appears this new case is being ignored. Situations like the one in bldg # 6 are commonplace at this facility and continues to speak volumes about a management staff that could not manage a dog kennel effectively.

JUSTICE FOR PORCH MONKEY COMMENT??

The white female Youth Services Office that made a comment about " porch monkeys"at Connecticut Juvenile Training School to residents of color has finally been disciplined.  What is interesting is how white management at CJTS acted in a decisive manner about the racially loaded term.  However, let me be clear about the so called  discipline; if not for the agitation of activists and DCF Plantation Blog reporting, no discipline would have taken place.  DCF / CJTS are often called Monday morning quarterbacks, only making decisions after issues become known publicly.

CJTS is notorious for harsher actions against people of color and lesser penalties for whites. To be honest DCF / CJTS only acted in disciplining this female because a local news station WFSB channel 3 reported the comment October 31, 2013. Then an employee of CJTS appeared on the same WFSB broadcast Oct. 31st and confirmed the allegation [ the face and voice were altered ].  So while it seems on the surface that justice landed at a facility that favors it's white employees, it only occurred due to praxis and not any pang of conscience on the part of white management.  Please read the following documents and be informed of how the process worked.  Click the file below to read.

GOING AFTER RAY MONTEIRO THROUGH HIS SON

The DCF Plantation blog was contacted by several Youth Services Officers at Connecticut Juvenile Training School about insidious activity by CJTS management. Sources indicate that “Brother Ray” [as Monteiro is called] has worked at CJTS as an YSO for over a dozen years and is thought of as a dependable and reliable worker. He started a project for incarcerated residents called Icy Dreams. The idea is to teach entrepreneurial skills to residents by allowing them to sell slush cones or ice cream. All profits are use for the residents and to build up business: for some reason Ray’s idea did not resonate with management, they tried closing it down. Let me state Ray is also an employee of color; dangerous appellation for male employees at CJTS. For years white management and their supervisory black lackeys hounded Ray, but failed in their goal to fire him. However in America we know that whites in power have more than one way to skin a brother.

Ray’s son is employed at CJTS and is currently under investigation about something shrouded in mystery. According to sources within CJTS, Ray’s son was sitting in an area waiting for confirmation whether he had to work another shift at CJTS. DCF Plantation has been informed a telephone call to management was made that perhaps Ray’s son was not attentive while sitting down. In other words management decided to investigate Ray’s son, and in this manner they could strike a blow at the father. If you think these tactics are foul consider that white management has allowed a white female YSO to get away with calling black and brown residents “porch monkeys.” She is being treated with a soft investigation while Ray’s son is looking forward to a kangaroo type investigation where the outcome is already decided [guilty of course].

At this juncture the shameful event is continuing to unfold and this innocent worker is being held hostage due to people in management seeking to get to Ray.
