Topic: The Club House / Postcard-only mail policy

I’m assisting in a research project regarding local, State, and Federal correctional agencies that have successfully implemented postcard-only mail policies. I would like to throw the topic out to your audience for feedback. Thank you, Gang Intelligence Analyst, Special Service Unit, Office of Correctional Safety, California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation

Topic: The Club House / Who is running this place?

What do you do when your facility is being ran by people who have no idea how it physcially runs. They sit in their offices all day watching mointors or drinking coffee and come up with some of the unreasonable ideas you ever heard. For example, they recently came up with the idea of bringing in laundry at 0430hrs, sounds good on paper but they don’t take in consideration that the officers are doing medication, feeding and getting inmates out for court all at the same time. There is enough confusion without adding to it, when confronted with their descison were told to just deal with it. Do they know all that could happen during this confusion or even care. I hope you have an idea.

From our readers:
Dear Tool,

I’ve worked in Corrections for over Fifteen Years and in many different departments. Didn’t you ever take a shop class or woodworking class in High School? If you can’t figure out how to control the tools in your department you are a danger to everyone in that facility, Inmate and Officer. You should look for another job that will suite you better.
