Corrections Officers walk off the job in Alberta

[Razgovory]

I'm all for cutting Otto's salary.

What happens at the prison when the guards walk off?

Jails are being staffed by managers and by RCMP officers.  Inmates are in full lockdown - locked in their cells 23 1/2 hours per day.  Nurses refused to work, so prisoners only being given "life or death" medicine.

Gee, that sounds pretty fucked up.  Tell me, Uncle Beeb, is this in fact fucked up?

We should set everyone's salary through on-line popularity contests.  It would have the great advantage over the Stalinist-Leninist system of being democratic.

Yeah, sounds like things are pretty messed up.  Question is whose fault is it.

The COs are refusing to comply with the LRB's order to return to work.

Now, Sheriffs (who provide courthouse security, as well as dealing with prisoners when they're in court) are refusing to come to work in sympathy.

I may have the day off tomorrow!

All I'm sayng is, that if they're basically putting thousands of prisoners in near-solitary confinement, and denying them health services (?), that's really fucked up, and if this isn't even an issue that concerns them, they're kind of terrible at their jobs.  Can they even bathe, or is that what the 30 minutes is for?

Of course, no one cares because prisoners are unpeople on Languish.

You have a moist vagina.

I might in a few hours, but I don't see how that's germane.

If this was in the United States, sounds like someone would have a great Section 1983 case.

They should jail the strikers and temporarily deputize the inmates to guard them.

I'm for this.  Any change in my salary would be an improvement.
