There is no reason why the yard should not run the way it is designed to be ran.Morey Unit is a close custody facility.And for that reason it should be a controlled movement yard the meaning of that is exactly what it spells CONTROLLED if you have three officers on the yard with 100 inmates that is not controlled.If visitation staff has to drop what they are doing while runing visitation which is the job they are responsible for, to answer to an emergency call on the radio.Then it is not being ran the way it is suppose to be ran.You also need to remember that alot of these inmates are at morey on overides,which only means that detention units get paid hazardas pay to work around these inmates and we dont.Not because they are less dangerous because they are not.But because they stayed ticket free only to come to a yard like morey or buckley where they can have more freedom to comit more crimes...So that only means that when you run a yard like morey or buckley understaff with too many inmates and only 3 staff on the yard it is not controlled movement if your 3 staff members cant control a situation when it happens! that is only asking for trouble.I know some people might say "IF YOU CAN HANDLE IT FIND ANOTHER JOB" well sat proved that first we can handle it the incident on saturday was handled very well.WHY? you may ask thats because we had eachothers back.Its not an easy job what we do but I do give credit where credit is earned...Morey does an awsome job getting it all done sometimes putting there life on the line understaff to get the job done..To the higher ups if you are reading this and have the power to resolve the issue lets try and avoid a bigger problem by running the closed custody yards the way they are suppose to be ran safely.....From concerned officer
