This was just in from three trusted sources. The staff is even telling the inmates they are leaving their jobs and making no bones as to why they are out of here.
“Sh*t rolls downhill”, was the most common phrase used, meaning they are VERY dissatisfied with upper management. One lady officer told me in person that they did not get the raise they were promised, benefits have been slashed, and the general mindset of Shinnspints is Take It Or Leave It! So they’re going to leave it.
Shinn apparently thinks he can grow a new crop of cannon fodder to replace the old guard anytime he wants. How this guy got in charge of the DOC begs a lot of questions. Appointed by Gov. Ducey, just like Chucky Cheese (Charles Ryan, former Director), there has been speculation about nefarious dealings.
With the legislature banning a bill to provide OVERSIGHT of the DOC, it would be difficult to shine a light on the problem. and Judging by the new trainees fresh out of the Academy, they are recruiting from kindergarten.
