Aside from McFee, the new executive staff is inferior to the ones who got forced out. Simovich and Halle each admitted at readoffs that they knew virtually nothing about the jail when they were placed in charge. Then why kick out the ones who knew their stuff and appoint the ones who know nothing? Because promotions are based on politics not ability and background. Gualtieri's statement that there is no good old boy system in an outright lie.
Promotions are based on politics and Gualteri has mastered the lie game. Example :, reporter ask if Simovich is double dipping, answer no because he is not collecting another pension. This we know is a lie because this is the tactic Gualteri used against Rice.
