JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT IT COULD NOT GET ANY WORSE ON THE CJTS PLANTATION

Right winger still on paid leave / set to retire
The birds are chirping at Connecticut Juvenile Training School about the former attack dog for white management at that facility. For years KeyStone Cops management used a Caucasian employee to watch over, report  news about, and use policy / procedure to keep employees in line. It was a known fact this particular right winger informed management about black or brown employees, used grievances as weapons against Youth Service Officers and then walked around like Caesars's wife "above suspicion." However white management soon became aware of not being able to control the right winger and tried to terminate their attack dog. Sources report that the right winger played an instrumental role in providing data to lawmakers and media sources... that helped place CJTS in the position of being closed down in 2018 by lawmakers and the Child Advocate's office. Since all of this hit the fan the right winger has been investigated for over one plus years while being paid, they call it administrative leave... yeah right !! Behind the scenes rumors are being whispered that CJTS management is not going to let their former attack dog back on the property in Middletown, CT. Their plan is to let the right winger continue to be investigated and then retire. All of this of course is financed by tax payer dollars.

Ball of confusion with scheduling / seniority
The reduction in staff at CJTS is down to a bare minimum due to layoffs and YSOs being out on Workers Compensation leave. Ergo, it should not be problematic to maintain scheduling for the remaining 50 or so staff right? Well think again. Sources within the CJTS Plantation report how people in charge of scheduling are making mistakes. There are so many mistakes until the remaining YSOs are confused, while being forced to work double or triple shifts. Several YSOs were laid off because of administrative staff -who were also laid off- being wrongly given credit for being at the facility longer than others. However upon closer scrutiny it was discovered several YSOs were mistakenly(?) laid off and those jobs given to former Unit Leaders. Now the mistakes in those cases are cleared up; why is it the people at CJTS do not just put up correct lists of people and their seniority? This will clear up all confusion, relieve the angst of being laid off, and help that facility operate more efficiently [ if such a thing is possible ].

Object of intimate desire transferred to another facility-cover up ?
The sources at CJTS are babbling about how male management employed a female administrator and for years engaged in sexual peccadilloes on a weekly schedule. It was then revealed how these same males almost fought some years ago during their staff meeting because of encroachment on each other's schedule. In other words somebody hit on my hit. With the break down in secrecy at the plantation about such matters, someone made the decision to send the object of desire to another facility.. before CJTS closes in 2018. It is reported the female in question never feared losing her job, after all when you service 3-4 male administrators on the job that is better security than having All State Insurance.

Hiring more YSOs in spite of promises to close the facility
Since there are only 50 or so incarcerated youth at CJTS why is there need for more Youth Service Officers? There are at least 16 YSOs out on Workers Compensation due to injury. However the rank and file workers are saying how things like worker injury should have been factored into plans for closing the facility in 2018. Now KeyStone Cops management is scrambling around like chickens with no heads, all due to incompetence. So what else is new?

DOES DRACULA LIVE ON UNIT 6B, IS THAT WHY NOBODY WANTS TO WORK THERE? / OPERATION STAFF SIT IN OFFICE WHILE OTHERS WORK TRIPLE SHIFTS

The reports coming from Connecticut Juvenile Training School about Unit 6B are certainly interesting, yet problematic and troubling. While other Youth Service Officers are being asked to work on other Units one place people avoid is Unit 6B. From what this writer understands, the lack of leadership from supervisors on 6B makes that part of CJTS not easy to work in.  At the root or heart of the issue is that 6B supervisors do not have any control over the incarcerated residents ; fear of the residents or plain incompetence might explain why Unit 6B is in utter chaos, or as black folks say..off the hook. Another explanation might be is that a vampire named Dracula lives on 6B and scares away YSO's and other supervisors from working there. Now juxtapose the chaos existing on Unit 6B and NOBODY willing to work there with Unit 5 B. Reliable sources report how Unit 5B is an ideal place to work at i.e. the residents are not allowed to do disobey rules and run amok on the Unit. YSO's also have proper supervision on Unit 5B,  from a leader who is competent and listens to people working on that Unit.

If Unit 6B is dysfunctional as is being claimed by sources, why are supervisors allowed to continue managing it? Perhaps the answer can be found in the constant visits of 6B supervisors to CJTS Superintendent's office. For some people 6B supervisors trips to William Rosenbeck's et al. office has to do with more than talking about residents. Just maybe it is possible those visits to Captain Boss office is for nefarious purposes, trying to help white folks keep control over that dying CJTS kingdom.. scheduled to close in 2018. Well.  In the history of America it is documented how slaves were often spied on by other slaves. A reward for telling Captain Boss about field Negroes actions consisted of a biscuit and piece of chicken. Now if we fast forward to 2016 we might be able to say with a fair amount of certitude and modicum of rectitude, that information to white administrators in any state agency allows the informer to maintain a favorable status among other employees. In the words of brothers on the streets " the more your head is up the boss ass, the more useful that person is." However history also teaches that when Ol' Massa uses a slave, at some point the slave is no longer  an asset and turns into a liability. At that point Ol' Massa gets rid of the once useful slave / informant ; just look at the television series Roots to see how white folks got rid of the beloved black female slave Kissie and house Negro who thought he was safe during a slave rebellion.

Why were 4  members of The Operations Staff sitting on their well paid arses at CJTS while help was needed on other Units last week? That question is being asked as YSO's are being forced to work double and triple shifts. It is documented in many reports how working long hours without adequate rest will increase the likelihood of accidents, mistakes and bad judgment from employees of any company. Why is it then that last week 4 members of CJTS sat in the Operations Office in utter disregard of the need for co-workers to be relieved of working like slaves in Egypt under a biblical Pharaoh?? There are lots of staff at CJTS under the protection of Key Stone Cops management while YSOs catch hell from leadership and nobody seems to give a damn.
 Well this DCF Plantation Blog cares about the exploited working class at CJTS and will continue to support them.
If there is more information about injustice toward the working class at the modern CJTS Plantation.. please send news or tips to dcfplantation@gmail.com

ASSISTANT TEACHER BROWN AND THE INCIDENT / THEY VOWED TO REDUCE RESIDENTS BUT NUMBERS ARE INCREASING

This writer learned that at Connecticut Juvenile Training School assistant teacher Brown [ female ] was accidently pushed by an incarcerated resident to keep her out of a possible fight between inmates. She was in the classroom when two residents decided to square off for a fight. One of the residents who squared up, decided Ms. Brown might get hit, so he pushed her out the way. A truly noble act. However let me delve deeper into this noble act and the reasons it happened. The CJTS plantation is not working with appropriate staffing levels due to state layoffs. This means at the moment CJTS does not have enough people working to quell native uprisings ..like the one in assistant teacher Brown's room. In the past Youth Service Officers were omnipresent in the school hallways and on the lookout for trouble. Now as one supervisor put it is "like a ghost town" around here. One YSO contacted this blog and stated "on first shift [ 5:30am-3:00pm ] there are only three regular staff working. All other staff are being forced to work double or triple shifts." In other words the first shift is filled with over worked, bleary eyed, mentally exhausted, and spiritually dead YSOs. Will wonders never cease.

Hey this writer remembers not long ago that a proclamation came down from CJTS leadership and lawmakers. "The CJTS facility will be closing in 2018 and residents sent to other facilities. Ergo, at the present time CJTS will maintain only 40 residents. Out of this number a further reduction will occur until there are no more residents and the facility closes." Now it is reported that the proclamation thundered from the plantation- as if the Oracle of Apollo had spoken- is not being followed. At this juncture there are now 50 residents at CJTS with another one expected in a few days. At every turn CJTS management et al. have lied to the rank and file employees. What else can white management due to erode credibility and send workers into not embracing policies of Key Stone Cops management ? And they say Hillary Clinton has trust problems ! Well the CJTS Plantation management has Hillary beat.
