In most cases to staff assisting with staffing are getting a nice overtime check.
Staffing on units sending the assistance is beginning to suffer and overtime is being utilized to backfill positions on those facilities. So, double the overtime is being used to fill the same number of positions.
With that said, the agency must take a look at the feasibility of continuing to operate these “critically staffed” vs. consolidation of offender populations to better utilize state resources.
Tax payers and representatives in general, are unaware of the amount of waste within the agency camouflaged as meeting agency, PREA, or ACA “requirements”.
The agency is very quick to provide a knee jerk reaction to incidents, regardless of cost to staff and/or tax payers.
The philosophy seems to be litigation is cheaper than doing the right thing in the first place.
