After 25 years at ECI (Eastern Correctional Institution) I finally made up my mind to retire. Things there is to the point now that at any time there will someone (officer) hurt or killed. I don't give a dam about what the media or that pompous Rhino by the name of Gov. Hogan, the actual number of officers short is now between 130-150. It's my opinion that the Governor what privatize the correctional system. That's going to go over like a fart in church. It never works.
Check out the wonderful hug a thug program he has put all His eggs in a basket for. REHABILITATION. The new program allows people who are arrested to opt for a six month in house rehab. stay if you are either an alcoholic or a junkie to leave after the six month period with the criminal charges and arrest wiped out so the productive new made citizen get get a chance of getting a great job, WTF. Also if you receive a 10 year sentence you will only do about 3 years. Larry Hogan is 100% rhino. Look at his policies and decide for your self. He is not a friend of 2A people.
This is the most ridiculous part of him not attempting to hire new officers. Only 2 have been hired in the last year with one quitting and another being recruited by MSP. ECI and most of the other State prison's is a ticking time bomb. This past June a serious demonstration by the inmates (about 600) was avoided when K-9 and shotguns were deployed. The inmates told the administration next time CNN will be covering what happens. I was miserable all the time and took it out on my wife an others. I only was sleeping 3-4 hours a night, my blood pressure was sky high too. I made the decision to retire 4 months ago and everything changed for the good. The money was good but it isn't any help to you and your family if you kick the bucket. Anyway there are still many top notch people still there who deserve better treatment then what this current administration has purposely burdened and destroyed corrections.
The men and women out there on this forum who has work in one of Maryland's facilities knows what it's like to do a job no one else is willing to do. Many citizens don't care about what goes on inside of the walls because lets face it, who grows up saying, boy, I want to be a guard when I grow up. Somerset County is an extremely poor county and the main employer for many is ECI. Now I believe that the prison's days are numbered. My last observation is that Warden Foxwell has done everything within his power to help the officers, but headquarters micromanages from Baltimore, and has it's own agenda in step with the governor.
