NEW REVELATIONS ABOUT OLD FINANCIAL CONCERNS AT CJTS

A person sat down with this reporter at a coffee shop recently to discuss something important. It is no surprise to readers of this blog that Connecticut Juvenile Training School has been, and still is, woefully managed by old white men in administration. Whether it is allowing employees to abuse Workers Compensation, dispensing overtime to favored employees, using a white male employee as an instrument for keeping chaos brewing on campus, that facility is out of control. Now it is reported of how CJTS a few years ago, used scarce public funds for projects. When lawmakers et al.decided to close this facility in summer of 2018, one of the reasons cited revolved around finances, it cost lots of money to keep the facility open. In addition allegations of employee abuse in resident restraints were a factor.

So if residents are being sent to other facilities [beginning four years ago]- why spend more money at CJTS? It is reported how CJTS spent eight million dollars to build additions on to the old school structure facility for residents. Now wait a damn minute. There is already a school structure that could have accommodated residents [especially since residents were being phased out numerically]. All management had to do was restrict residents to a certain part of that existing school building. The official statement CJTS let out went like this "there is no money for other projects." Okay so where did white folk find eight million dollars for the project? This story gets better though, two million dollars went to fix up an abandoned female facility down the road. You cannot make this kind of stuff up. In the midst of severe budget crisis in Connecticut, monies magically appear for funding projects of a facility due to close. Now remember the building project at CJTS took place years ago- after it was decided to close the facility. Then these damn fools in management spent more money to refurbish a female facility nobody lived in.

Lord Jesus strike those people running that facility with blindness.
