"TAMPA - When James McDonough took over as the state's new prisons chief in February, the corrections system was being rocked by scandal, and he didn't know what to expect.
McDonough feared possible disorder and contacted the Florida National Guard to see whether it could step in if needed, McDonough said Tuesday. ..."
I take issue with the Secretary's position on how to restore order. Call in the National Guard. What is a weekend warrior going to do? A 19 year old with no training or experience is going to take over a job many of us professionals have done for years. The Secretary needs a reality check. If he even considered using the national guard to perform corrections or
probation fucntions he has no concept no matter what people say. We are not an liberated army that needs to be trained. It will make a great line for the next book about how he heroically took over the Florida DOC and trained them. His next letter will have Vietnam, Somalia, and DOC all in the same context. Make us look bad so that he looks like a genius?? I don't think so.
Just me or are others offended by his attitude???
