I wonder when all the rest of the prison guards that have raped female inmates will be subjected to the news media??? I think the public would demand a change of leadership at the department of corrections. The secrecy cover needs to be stopped. Reporters need to excersise there 1st amendment right to a free press.djw

The DOC needs a total cleaning. It needs financial and performance audits. The top management is just counting beds and has no idea how to manage a correctional system.
