The DCF Plantation blog published a story recently about how a resident with a leg cast was living in squalor in his room at Connecticut Juvenile Training School. This black male resident lives on Unit 5 B and did not get placed in the CJTS infirmary for reasons that escape this writer. However after the story came out about the filthy conditions in the room, lo and behold the resident's room suddenly got power cleaned with some machine. Will wonders never cease ! This writer will argue how the real issue is CJTS dysfunctional KeyStone Cops management of that facility. It boggles the imagination how the two men running that facility manage to keep their jobs. So many issues have arisen at CJTS over the years, and it is due to inept handling of employees, overtime, and endemic racism from white apartheid management. Now the latest fiasco entails a youth of color being allowed to live in third world squalor due to an injury that limits his movements. It took someone writing about the Unit 5B atrocity in order for the room to be cleaned.
Then it is reported the youth underwent another surgery two days ago but is still not in the infirmary.
