There are numerous “busts” of visitors carying narcotics at our little prison in Susanville. The governator has not a clue as to the real problems within an institution. Yes there has been staff that have been caught “muling” contraband into these systems. The biggest problem is that corrections is like a FART in the ventilation system. you know someone did it, but not who! When you start bashing the “CORRECTIONAL OFFICER” not “GUARDS” you do so without a true understanding of the contribution the correctional systems are to thier state. For example where would you keep Charlie Manson if it was not for CDCR? You cannot shoot him as the liberals won’t allow it. You cannot lock him in a box as the courts will not allow it. And you cannot let him loose on society (though technically he murdered no one). Well we keep him safe from other inmates and he is not prowling your neighborhood. Where would the peace Officers put these convicted felons if not for these prisons. And finally how much would you want to get paid to work around co workers that are 100% convicted felons! Oh by the way there are many inmates that make Charlie look like a member of the PTA. They will be paroling to your town soon.

to call us servants, and to think that the correctional officers are the actual drug trafficers is insane. Maybe “Arnie ” needs to spend a day at a real prison (on visiting day) and see how it is really. This man has no business being in politics.

Wow, for a grammatically challenged individual you still have “NO” clue about the truth behind bars. If you did your research you would have revealed the way politicians tie correctional officers hands behind their backs! Statistics have proven that 98.7% of narcotics trafficked into California prisons is by non-custody free staff (Not Correctional Officers). It’s not like the movies buddy. Officers risk their necks every day and are heavily scrutinized; especially by ignorant fools like yourself. An average of 10 officers are assaulted each day in California prisons. Well, if they were a bunch of dope smugglers they would have a little more love don’t you think? These are men and women working a tough beat. Show some respect. Actually, since you have all the answers, why don’t you do it yourself? The average of dirty officers in The CDC is nearly identical to a majority of police agencies. It’s a fact. The sad thing is when an intellectually challenged fool like yourself hears one story about a dirty cop he has to insult the whole agency. Don’t make attempts at knowledgeable information unless you know the details; do some research first. Also, get an education.
