300 Florida National Guard members activated to state prisons

Full Story: wfts.tv/3VoLrWY
State lawmakers have called it a "Band-Aid", a patch over a scarred prison system on the brink of collapse. Now, it's a plan in motion, with 300 members of the National Guard activated to provide relief at critically understaffed Florida prisons.
"To me, it’s spit and chewing gum, trying to keep the Department of Corrections from basically imploding,“ Republican State Senator Jeff Brandes of St. Petersburg told the I-Team. “Most people don’t understand how desperate the situation is inside the Florida prison system."

    The State of Florida DOC only pay is low, only $17.00 to $18.00 per hour to start, Costco and Walmart stockers get same without the risks or midnight shifts. Corrections Officer Certified rate of pay is $1,288.47 Bi-weekly or $33,500.22 Annually. WHO WOULD DO SUCH A DANGEROUS JOB FOR SUCH PAY?

    That is insane. Thanks for adding that. I notice when talking about jobs reporter leave out the pay rate on purpose to make it seem like no one wants to work. When in reality you can get plenty of people to apply and do the job if the pay is right. The ice cream shops in NJ pay $17 an hour to teens and college kids but they want adults with families to risk their lives for the same price. Yet the news doesn’t think that part is important.

    Florida needs sentencing reform. Then stop housing inmates to make money. FLORIDA has NO parole system which is causing this problem. There must be some type of rotation system and rehabilitation program. Instead of the nation guard the federal government should take over the Florida system established a sentencing reform and parole system When prisons become a warehouses for Wall Street corporations to make money Instead of rehabilitation system this is what happens. The GEO Group makes millions from the state to opérate some of its facilities. Most of the money goes to Corporate Executives and DOC political checks and bonus.

This does not even cover the inmates who pled no contest out of fear of harsher sentences. In 2006, a news anchor reported " it is being widely reported that the State of Florida has a conspiracy to violate civil rights." End quote. The state of Florida is ruthless when dealing with the population. Collier county sheriff's department is notorious for escalating their in counters with the public. Ruthless people!

FDOC needs non-violent offenders to work outside the gate! This is why Florida's prisons are overcrowded. There are too many people in prison who should be in the county if at all. Violent offenders can not work outside the gate, so Florida fills its prisons with nonviolent offenders. This way they have many slaves to choose from.

For sure government has done their best and volunteers help but the inmates are so used to going back and regaining their health that no laws or programs can fix it.

I would not have joined if I thought I would be used as a low cost government employee because they don't want to pay higher wages. I can't image many young people today willing to put their life and career on hold for this purpose.

    My son was released From Appalacia prison in the panhandle. Within 2 weeks was found drowned in a canal in West Palm Beach. It seems someone didn't want him talking about what went on especially the drone drug drops. He had his bottom teeth punched out on an order of one of the Deputies for mouthing off. He had been transferred out of Santa Rosa after an attempted rape in the bathroom. He was kept in solitary for almost 3 months for not answering the warden's questions. They were trying to get him to admit to gang membership which was absurd because all the gangs were either Latino or black and he was neither. I pray your son has an easier time of transition.

    The problem is not only the salary the problem is the inmates run the caps they have far more rides than the correctional officers! When they are right are far greater than those who go there to protect the public, the staff is abused the inmates are never punished and inmates don't have to follow the rules! Not only are they working 12-hour days you never get a reward as a staff member to feel like you have assisted any inmate in correcting the behavior that brought them there! This has continually gotten worse through the years. You don't have discipline for the inmates only for the staff! They are not a team because the upper echelon divides the staff to secure their jobs because of the rules they have to follow. Staff the upper echelon and the regular Co are afraid to implement the rules that have been set forth in years previous. Few bad apples and the barrel has ruined it for the state of Florida being able to do their jobs as it should be done. Don't abuse the staff, don't abuse the inmates but inmates should be made to comply with a different way of living without violence. It is a tremendously horrible place to have to work. All females need to come out of the Men's prison and man out of the women's prison. And they need to be trained to be a team. So many of those inmates are there because their families couldn't stand them anymore. But yet they will complain and bellyache about inmate rights, inmate rights. They are not mistreated, they mistreat the staff and the state make sure of that. Don't believe me get you an inside job in a prison and then come back and report on it. Perhaps even the secretary or the governor and 10 journalist need to learn the real reason they have to call the National Guard in. It's because the staff has to work in such an abusive environment they cannot tolerate it anymore, they don't work but two three months and they see they can't handle it then they really shouldn't have to. People who have gone to prison deserve to be there for the most part you may have one or two innocent ones in there you may have 10 or 20 but the other million in there are guilty. But the State of Florida has become so lenient on the inmate rights and what can be said to them and how they can be treated until anyone working in that environment is being abused it is horrible! Don't respond to me just go check it out for yourself.
