bullet 06/30/06 Other DJJ facility-Pahokee: Facility at Pahokee leaks too. Must be that mold and stink is a DJJ trademark all over. I haven't spotted any maggots but I'm keeping my eyes open. ~Anonymous
bullet 06/30/06 Orange JDC: I saw two JDO's naked today. With each other. And they were of the same gender. In the old mental health office. ~Anonymous [Click to read note from J4K]
bullet 06/30/06 Orange JDC: ...It is sad to be losing good people, including Ines - and some of her backstabbing staff are staying...What they have done to her is evil and it will come back to haunt them. Kristen, Jayshree, we know how you treated Ines and we will keep close tabs on you... Katherine showed her true colors and you have too. Ines, we will truly mis you and we thank you for all your help and for being who you are! ~Anonymous
bullet 06/30/06 Miami-Dade JDC: ...i thought that garrido and hinson where ...partners. why is it she went around the corner and told mis-informed "Bart" that garrido was the one who had locked the mod down for hours, when it was actually her... i know this because i had to work a double that day on the mod and she told me...it was up to b-shift supervisors to let the youths out because she didnt really care because her shift was over and that if anything was going to happen it would be on b-shift. now what type of partner that is. (i'd call that a B!t<h) ~Hinson_Basher
bullet 06/30/06 DJJ - Policy and Procedure: Re 06/30/06 Boot Camps...Rather then going off on Cathy ... Have the guts to go after those that deny the proper funding for these facility's to run safly and properly where children do not die!...Bush sign the bill for Martin L Anderson , But did Bush or DJJ make sure the funding was there to implement the bill ? WERE SHOULD ALL YOUR ANGER REALLY BE ? Cathy...is a outsider looking in...SHE HAS THE MORAL SOUL TO SPEAK AGAINST WHAT SHE SEE'S IS WRONG! ~Forever in tears Diana
bullet 06/30/06 Schools/Court/Other: Yesterday, I received a call from Sherry Dorsey. She is an independant film maker, and is doing a documentary on the DJJ system in this country. She has asked me to see about rounding up all parents and teens about their experiences with DJJ and what has happened to them while in custody. She will be in Florida this July, and at my home on July 13th! Please help get the word out about all the abuse going on, and let your voices be heard.. Here is her contact information, and please call her!! ~Dawn Chase Sherry Dorsey - (302)377-5199 - www.swapproductions.com 06/30/06 Boot Camps: Cathy your so happy that the Boot Camp program is gone, instead of telling ABC action news you should have came into the program and told the boys who were crying that you are happy it's closed. You also said on the news that you think that the Polk County Boot Camp had a better education component instead of Pinellas, but you are wrong as usual. Pinellas Boot Camp scored higher on the GED and the FCAT than any other DJJ ran program. They were also ranked number 1 out of 250 programs in the state for the no child left behind act. Get your facts straight. ~Anonymous
bullet 06/29/06 DJJ - Policy and Procedure: A plea to our legislators,and state-level leaders. If you care about the welfare of troubled youth, public saftey and fiscal integrity don't do business with the sleazy lobbyists or the corporate bullies that presently hustle DJJ to profit from incarcerated kids or with the inept political appointees that currently run the Department... The...providers that get most of the contracts are all corrupt... Throw these crooks out... Then let's root the rot out of DJJ. No more mold, maggots, sexual abuse or dead kids! ~single parent and need my job
bullet 06/29/06 Orange JDC: One more day until Ines leaves us - is anybody else heartbroken? Brenda is staying on with the new company, only not with us, so I've heard. Park Place knows about DJJ, but do they have the heart that Ines has - don't think so!!! Anyways, Ines, you are going to be missed more than you know, please remember that! ~Anonymous
bullet 06/29/06 Miami-Dade JDC: How about asking Dale Dobuler along with his kitchen helpers to cook, since he is always willing to cook for the employees everytime something goes wrong at DJJ. Just like the employee appreciation breakfasts that he has held previously. ~Anonymous
bullet 06/29/06 Boot Camps: Cathy... again... while you were outside in the parking lot chasing around the news vans...the former boot camp boys were inside crying and scared to death having to leave the program. Not one of the boys were happy they were leaving... I guess the Boot Camp was not as bad as you thought it was. Well I guess you won, and these boys lost. ~Anonymous
bullet 06/29/06 Other DJJ facility-Okeechobee: Mold ! You ain't seen nothing yet. Come check us out at Okeechobee. We got mold growing on mold! Probably got maggots too but I can't say for sure. Definetely got sex in the dorms though. Hate to see the other facilities get all the print. We just as nasty as the best of um. Come on down the waters fine, especially when it rains. ~Anonymous
bullet 06/29/06 Miami-Dade JDC: Bess you know you a supervisor and policy say you cant have an affair with Irving and Carter is your husband relative. You put him in transportation but Gillum know and put him out. Stop doing favors and stick with the policy. The department will be dealing with you. Stop Ridin Dirty - ~Anonymous
bullet 06/28/06 Miami-Dade JDC: To that officer who is making the complaint about supervisor Bess.please report this to hr make sure you have dates, times, and witnesses. Don’t let her disrespect you.she is nobody and not well liked Im sure more officers will come forward. I hope she is reading this board. To Bess: maybe its time for you to resign your time is up.Dobuler cant help you on this one.also Bess before you try flirting you need to get some cosmetic surgery start with your teeth and next some butt implants etc..... ~Anonymous
bullet 06/28/06 DJJ - Policy and Procedure:...which candidates for governor and other political offices receive money from the providers that hustle business with DJJ. The lobbying,sweetheart deal making and political manuvering that permeate the residential facility operations at DJJ almost ensure corruption and poor services. The atmosphere of secretacy ,intimidation and collaboration between contractors,lobbyists and DJJ officials act to prevent exposure of serious problems... ~Anonymous
bullet 06/28/06 Orange JDC: Too high of a staff turn over... Just when they get to know the facility and each kid... you go and get a whole new staff that don't know sh**!! Clueless people coming into this facility that are going to TRY to provide medical and mental health care to manipulating, disrespectful juveniles is truly a DUMB ignorant thing... Mr. Williams should have fought to have the current nurse signed on with whatever the new company is taking medical over... ~Anonymous
bullet 06/27/06 DJJ - Policy and Procedure: How about some good ole DJJ style cookin. Does a hot batch of Mold and maggot casserole sound pretty good about now? Yummy ! There seems to be plenty of the necessary ingrediants at the DJJ facilities these days. I'd like to serve up a big dish to Schembri and his profiteer pals. ~Anonymous
bullet 06/27/06 Collier JDC: Watch your back Mr. Jordan and Mr. Johnson, Collymore is backbitinig and while your at it careful with Grier shes not to far behind Collymore stabbing both of you in the back. ~Anonymous
bullet 06/26/06 Collier JDC: Collier is a good place to work. So quit hatin and just do your damn job. If it's that bad for you then why are you still there. ~Anonymous
bullet 06/26/06 DJJ - Policy and Procedure: DJJ claims to have been 'HORRIFIED" about the maggots in the food at the DJJ facility. ...Lorenzo is definetely maintaining the standard of honesty set by Denham and Arnold... Why did it take and outside investigation to expose the maggots and correct the problem. If not for the outside report and investigation this incident would have been another DJJ cover-up and we all know it. Lorenzo...your nose will grow in that job. ~Anonymous
bullet 06/26/06 Orange JDC: Orange staff: stop being so dog gone two faced!!! As people are working around you all is well then the moment they leave-->all hell breaks loose about how horrible they are! I think the majority of DJJ's staff is two faced! Go ahead people: be as sweet and kind to my face then go make some sh** up once I'm gone too. Just let it be known--> what goes around will surely come around to bite you hard in the a**!!! ~Anonymous
bullet 06/26/06 Other DJJ facility-Polk JCF: Hey, Why did the DJJ/company big shots at the big crisis task-force meeting at PJCF last week not meet in Echo,Delta or Bravo buildings. I guess these stinky, moldy buildings are ok for the kids and staff ;but not ok for the DJJ/company brass. Did they eat in the dining area like the youth? You got to be jokin,they sent out for food. Maybe they don't like the taste of mold. ~Anonymous
bullet 06/26/06 Miami-Dade JDC: To Officer at Miami Dade, I am very sorry to tell you that you have walked into a world that has people like Bess...To this officer that does not want to got through this, well I say you speak out, if the administrators don't listen to you then go straight to the Regional Office. All of you officers complain that Bess gets her way but none of you speak out... ~Not Staying Quiet!
bullet 06/25/06 Orange JDC: ...It will all come back to bite them - Ines, you may not have been perfect (no one is) but you always had them girls backs and they never appreciated it. Don't change beacause of them, stay the same loyal and committedd person you are. Good luck! ~Anonymous
bullet 06/25/06 Collier JDC: Hey people, we better wake up to Kashana Grier. She think she special. All of us busten our butts working by ourselves all them long hours and Grier dont have to, why is that OH WE FORGOT GRIER IS REAL SPECIAL AND IMPORTANT! And why is it that Mr. Jordan dont put end to it. She really IS Collymores girl, yeah you can see the real dark mark on Giers nose. ~Anonymous
bullet 06/25/06 DJJ - Policy and Procedure: I just read about the maggots in the chow at the DJJ facility in Miami...If you have to enter a DJJ facility better not eat the food or breath the air and you better watch your backside...That must be the reason that the Tallahasse DJJ folks spend so little time in the facilities...It's because many of the stinking facilities are terrible...if the DJJ relationship with the contracted profiteers was less cozy conditions in these facilities would improve. ~Anonymous
bullet 06/25/06 Schools/Court/Other: ...stop complainting and write these people up...Why do you even bother if you not going to write or do anything.I said and did my part and look what happen...for you that think Djj is your only lively hood it is not.I can testifiy to that,I was scared to speak out until they did what they did to me, after all the hard work i had gave that place for all most 9yrs... ~M.Jackson
bullet 06/24/06 Miami-Dade JDC: see sgt. bess you could not stay in the dark for long. now the right male officer run up to tell on you. mr dobular and mr watson you see what you have at miami dade. think this male officer not going to tell someone else/ you wrong she is. sgt bess be walking around messing with the male officers like that. she even be bending and walking nasty in front of the kids. wait till the news paper find out. she makes promises to male officers so they will not get in trouble with the job. now you have a male officer that do not like that. where is the red flag at miami dade. ~Anonymous
bullet 06/24/06 DJJ - Policy and Procedure: ...If a kid is beaten , injured or killed in a DJJ facility because of lack of coverage or poor coverage ; who is liable? Should charges be filed against somebody when a kid is cut up on the razor wire? What about sexual relationships between adult staff and kids...Who is responsible? The cover-ups need to stop now. ~Anonymous
bullet 06/24/06 Other DJJ...Rep. Gus Barreiro...You had asked me if I had watched the vidio of Dannys death...Now I ask you ! HAVE YOU EVER REALY WATCHED IT? Please tell me I have not placed a page about the good you have done on my sons site with nothing more then faulse beleaf in someone I thought realy cared about the truth!! FOREVER IN TEARS! ~Diana Matthews dianamdd@aol.com
bullet 06/24/06 Orange JDC: HA! It's funny you should say that about Kathy. She has been saying bad things about Ines all along, What a 2 faced (person)....anyway, she was not to be trusted. She lies, nobody at JDC liked her, we only put up with her. ~Anonymous
bullet 06/23/06 Other DJJ facility-Polk JCF: Why don't DJJ reviewers do more surprise inspections and visits to the facilities. Before almost every review or visit at PJCF we clean and paint like crazy. We also staff up so we can look good. After the visitors leave things get back to normal. Surprise inspections are needed if anybody wants to know whats happening round here. These folks lie. ~Anonymous
bullet 06/23/06 Escambia JDC: To the ERDC writer know2much tell it all.Don't leave anything or anyone out.I will fill in what you omit or want to forget.Don't make THREATS!! From ~KNOWEVENMORE.
bullet 06/23/06 Miami-Dade JDC: What happened to red flags. I am a new male officer and have been exposed and witness a female supervisor that is making it known she will do anything for sex. Some body stop Bess. I was embarrased but other male officers tole me to get used to it. Be her boy toy and you will make it here. I don't want to do that. What can I do, I need my job and not by having sex and giving her head. HELP. Come here and talk to staff. Desperately seeking help. ~Anonymous among many
bullet 06/22/06 Miami-Dade JDC: Sgt. Hinson if you read justice4kids please cut your vacation short so people can stop calling in. No one comes to work cause the double on list is a mess. Whats wrong with your co workers. Yall should do better then that. ~Anonymous
bullet 06/22/06 Pinellas JDC: Glad to see things are well at PRJDC, to all my former co-workers..I am well, my back injury is somewhat in control, I wish you all well and dearly miss you all, you people that know me I can't say how much I miss you all, Walt G. ~Walter Grau waldomah@yahoo.com
bullet 06/22/06 Schools/Court/Other: Does anyone know if any of the candidates for governor are likely to clean up DJJ and end the current atmosphere of intimidation and deceit? ...The fear and corruption has lasted way to long... I would like to hear one of the candidates speak out on needed reform of DJJ. Thats the guy that I will vote for. Maybe J4K could act as the conduit to the candidates?... Any candidate that knowingly supports the current mess at DJJ is not an honorable choice for the office. ~Anonymous
bullet 06/22/06 DJJ-Policy and Procedure/Polk JCF: Floor staff at our facility PJCF know that they better keep quiet about problems at work if they want to keep workin. Some of our best staff are already gone. Word round here is "if you talk you walk". Only the staff cares about the youth and we can't do much. Even Ramsy was better than what we got now. ~Anonymous
bullet 06/22/06 Other DJJ facility-Polk JCF: At Polk JCF the blood from the "non-riot" this week is still on the wall. This place is dangerous. We need more staff here. A few weeks ago a youth went over the razor wire and escaped with cuts from the wire on his body. His absence went unnoticed for hours until his family notified the sheriff. The kid could have bled to death on the wire or in the woods before he was even found to be missing. We need more help at PJCF now. ~anonymous-job scared
bullet 06/22/06 Orange JDC: Kathi walked out on Inez and now rumor has it that she is being vindictive and nonapreciatbe. How quickly she forget what Inex did for her and how Inez tretade her. Inez, just thank your lucky stars that youare moving up and dont have to deal with her anymore. We know ayour integrity. ~KW
bullet 06/22/06 Orange JDC: Dizney is a puppet and an idiot. She has no grasp of the DJJ system - naive as hell and only cares about covering her butt (which is big)... ~Porkchop McGhee
bullet 06/22/06 Miami-Dade JDC: Dobuler is placing and keeping the people specially the woman that he can get info out of, once he is done using that info against them and others, he will let them go. Dobuler, Just don't make the same mistake that your chief, "Watson" has done in the past and continues to do, "sleep with them"... ~Not Staying Quiet!
bullet 06/22/06 Orange JDC: I'm glad to know that we are not the only ones that don't like Disney - she comes off as nice but she's got a dagger in both hands; hope no one falls for it! ~Anonymous
bullet 06/21/06 DJJ - Policy and Procedure: ...Governor Bush... Clean house at DJJ before you leave office! The entrenched self-serving bureaucrats,buddy buddy lobbyists and corporate hucksters over at DJJ have been a disgrace to your administration and a threat to the well-being of youth in their custody . ... let's find some competent professionals with integrity and more concern for the needs troubled kids and families and public safty than concern for their own career path or enrichment at the public through... ~Anonymous
bullet 06/20/06 Other DJJ facility (Polk JCF): Why are condums found during the morning shift at PJDF if there is no funny business taking place on the night shift? Recent mass fight at PJCF could only be called a riot. Lots of blood but no deputys called. Staff can't speak out. ~Anonymous
bullet 06/20/06 Osceola JDC: Nobody likes Disney. ~Anonymous
bullet 06/20/06 Orange JDC: Jenks is a pervert? I knew there was something not right with that old kinky dude, the way he talked with the mental health staff........So it is known huh? ~Anonymous
bullet 06/20/06 Miami-Dade JDC: Help! Help! Will somebody please! Tell me whats going on at Miami-Dade. Doubler what are you doing? A bunch of air head women in charge at Miami-Dade.please! Wake up Doubler,stupid move dob. Tallahasse come get this man. ~Anonymous
bullet 06/20/06 Polk JDC: The education department at PRJDC is doing a great job. As last year, they received exemplary status. Way to go educational staff ~Anonymous
bullet 06/20/06 Escambia JDC: ...Let's compare J. Lee with our prior supers. 1st..Tony Shoemo HA!!! what a joke!! 2nd Richard Wilson HA a bigger joke. 3rd Killingsworth... Scared of staff, didnt last 3 months, 4th Bud Puckett, Got the job only because he threatened to sue for discrimnation. Henry Bennett.... CHILD MOLESTER!!!! Paul Wallis..did a good job... The next negative comment on this board will leave me NO choice but to TELL all... affairs, who to drug test, lie detect. test, and Im ready to talk... ~NO2MUCH
bullet 06/19/06 Collier JDC: Collymore and her snoop and back stabbing rat KG both has to go. Those 2 trouble makers are a real big part of the reason our moral is so low and keep on loosing good people. MR. JORDAN WATCH YUR BACK! YOU MIGHT BE NEXT ON THE KG LIST.KG needs to remember all her mistakes Collymore some how made disapear---------stuff that gets you both fired---better hope no one picks up the phone and dials CCC and puts in a complaint on you 2. ~Anonymous
bullet 06/19/06 Orange JDC: Yes, Lakeside's ousting was personal... Now we hear that some of the lakeside staff was going to stay with the new provider - I guess the vendetta has been against Ines, and that is sad becuase she has given us 200% and will be mised greatly - DJJ does not know the incredible person they are losing... We care...and you will be missed by us all! ~Anonymous
bullet 06/19/06 Other DJJ facility: The recent posting related to a sexual issue involving a female DJJ contracted staff member and a youth assigned to the Okeechobee facility is definetely not that unusual... So-called investigations of these incidents have also been "closed" if they were reported at all... The lack of accountability in the DJJ facilities will no doubt see such incidents continue. It seems that until someone dies the public has no idea how bad the situation the DJJ facilities can be. ~Anonymous
bullet 06/18/06 DJJ - Policy and Proceduress: Nineteen year old attendants to monitor teenage inmates... I guess we should add stupidity to the other obvious DJJ attributes including arrogance, deceit and most of all self-serving political/bureauatic operations. With this kind of organization it is plain to see why problems of contraband ,sexual abuse, violence, bullying and dirty facilities exist and why DJJ is so secretive. The Department has much to hide...Do more youth need to die before these issues are exposed and cleaned up? Republicans ! ,Democrats ! anybody, please step up now... ~anonymous-job scared
bullet 06/18/06 Orange JDC: Consultcare did bid. But they never sttod a chance because Chinault hated their guts. Lakeside was told that they can go ahead and bid whatever their services would cost and that the final decision was not based on money - but lo and behold it was based on money... they need to get rid othat pervert Jenks. And Stephens. They are always hitting on young girls. It aint right. Mr William is all right. None of the comments against him here are true. But if he is geetin some on the side from an HR person more power to him. Hey - his job is stressful!!... ~JDO, ADS
bullet 06/17/06 Miami-Dade JDC: Sgt Bess stop actin ghetto you makin all black women look stupid. And you in a white shirt. We never gonna come up with black women like you girl so sit down some where wit dat. ~Anonymous
bullet 06/17/06 Miami-Dade JDC: Ok.. Mr. Dobuler now you got sgt. Ham on C-Shift Sgt. Smith on B-Shift Sgt. Hinson on A-ShiFT. aRE YOU TRYING TO KILL US. I GIVE UP. I'M THROWIN IN MY GUNS. IT'S OVER FOR US NOW. HE GOT ALL 3 OF HIS PIT BULLS ON ALL SHIFTS. NOW WHAT WE GONNA DO YA'LL? ~Anonymous
bullet 06/17/06 Orange JDC: ...If you don't like 19 year olds working at a detention center, go to your state senator or respresentative. They are the ones that put it in the florida statutes... As far as the incident with the kid kicking the door down, it was reported... Not all of us are low lives. But you low lives need to go get a ditch digging job or try to make things better and stop bitching. Get your facts straight before you start talking..or typing. ~Anonymous
bullet 06/17/06 DJJ - Policy and Procedures: ...don't you get it? IG looks like a joke. DJJ seems to be interested only in covering up situations of sexual abuse, poorly trained staff, violence and dirty conditions. Apparently high officials in Tallahassee think problems faced by youth and low-level staff at the DJJ facilities will not hurt them politically...The real power is with the corporate hustlers, ... Hopefully a new administration...will smell the rot and clean the mess up. ~Anonymous
bullet 06/17/06 Pinellas JDC: ...We are loosing to many good officers. Supervisors are disrespecting floor officers. T.H yes you are fake and we are disappointed with the ways you handle issues ... Sup. B-- we are waiting for you to step-up about your action in mod bravo and Sup. Whiting you need to learn people skills .... we officers tired of the staff shortage... and ... lack of management skills. Tallahassee leaders needs to communicate with the floor officers .... ~The Insider
bullet 06/17/06 Other DJJ facility: I have no reson after my sons death to beleave in any guard. YET ! I do and can even see much of your statements to be very true. The problem is at the top then down . Yet the blame seems to fall on the bottom.My son death shows this in many ways!!! While there are thouse that deserve it ! There are many that do not!!!!After watching the tape I can see whom help my son Danny and those how did not ! Again Thank You. Forever in tears Diana ~Diana Matthews dianamdd@aol.com
bullet 06/16/06 Orange JDC: …Now DJJ is hiring 19 yr olds to take care of 18 yr.old detainees…Why is Michael Williams and Larry Eason still employed at DJJ… when that boy who attempted to escape… why wasnt it reported to I.G.? …How about when a former staff was sexually harrassed by Sgt.Howard? You and Willaims did nothing… ~Anonymous
bullet 06/16/06 DJJ - Policy and Procedures: This is an open message to Secretary Schembri of the DJJ... In order for you to truly improve your organization...you must get rid of the idea that your job is linked to an image...you must listen to the front line workers...this type of leadership is called Total Quality Leadership (TQL) and is what is needed to turn DJJ around. ~Anonymous [NOTE from J4K: Message forwarded to Schembri and Caballero.]
bullet 06/16/06 DJJ - Policy and Procedures: Deepest sympathy to Danny's family. Until our state leaders get the courage to stand up to the lobbyists,political hacks and entrenched bureaucrats that provude cover for a corrupt system,kids held in DJJ facilities will be at risk. DJJ is in need of one honest and competent leader that puts the rehabilitation of troubled kids above personnal ego and a state pay check... ~anonymous
bullet 06/15/06 Orange JDC: Compare to other djj facilities this is about the worse one I ever seen. There are no stability there, no respect for one another...There seem to be a lotta of gossip going on.That why the youth has no respect because they watch how the officers treat one another...I would advise anyone not to apply for a job there if they want to keep there dignity. Noone seems to know there titles there you have some people trying to be nurse's when they are not mental health worker when they are not. If every one knew there jobs there be no problems. ~Anonymous
bullet 06/15/06 Other DJJ facility:...The hardest thing in my life to go through was the death of my Heart Danny. On 6-12-06 I went through the second hardest, I watched the vidio of his death at PCDJJ. Then forced myself to go to Echo mod...there are some pionts on which I can agree with staff on this site and thouse I meet in person...lack of acctountabilty for those hire up, ...With Danny there are many that were let go...While others that should have been held accountable...walked away with a suspention or nothing...only when thouse in Blue standing to gether are willing to stand up for whats is right , WILL THERE BE CHANGE ! Forever in Tears ~Diana Matthews dinmyheart@gmail.com
bullet 06/15/06 Collier JDC: Collymore----Tallahassee wants to know why CJDC is always so many people down. They need to talk to floor workers and they will get the answer to the problem. YOU!!!!!!!!!! ~Anonymous
bullet 06/15/06 Orange JDC: For the posting on 06/14 - you are correct, Consult Care did not bid. That's not the issue though, the issue is the error made by the powers that be to let Lakeside go. Let's not compare apples and oranges - yes, there are great nurses, but ot all of them are as the 6/13 writer noted. Good ppeople are leaving, and that's the sad truth. ~Anonymous
bullet 06/14/06 Other DJJ facility: Escambia...You are describing many DJJ facilities. The political cronyism,deceit and corruption come from the very top. Seems like Shembri and the Tallahassee crowd are bullet-proof. Dead kids,filthy facilities,unfair practices anything goes and the Department just slides on through...The system is badly broken. Not just your facility...most DJJ facilities literally stink. We all owe it to the youth to get the word out. ~anonymous-job scared
bullet 06/14/06 Escambia JDC:…There was a JDO that went directly to Sgt. without ever stopping to be an SJDO or be trained as an SJDO (rumor is he was fired from DCF for falsficiation of documents.) People on the night shift work 19 hour days…at least 3 days a week...NOBODY in administration or the DJJ hierarchy is asking why almost 40… people have quit this year alone…There is no respect and no concern from administration…Where is QA???? What happened to policies... ~Anonymous
[NOTE from J4K: This message forwarded to DJJ's Ken Pifer…]
bullet 06/14/06 Orange JDC: for the response on 6-13-06. Get all your information straight before you try to talk down about something you don't know about because that is only making YOU look bad! Consult Care did NOT bid on ORANGE --> Go check myflorida.com for the bids to see for yourself. ~Anonymous
bullet 06/13/06 Miami-Dade JDC:...Dobuler not getting rid of the "stupidvisors" like you say and keeping all the other ones...he is molding into his clones and they are corrupt just like Dobuler is. How many negligent releases have there been...Governor Bush will soon know everything you have done to all those good and faithful employees you have gotten rid of. ~Not Staying Quiet!

bullet 06/13/06 Orange JDC: ...COnsult Care ...DID bid...There is one nuirse that...talks about hating the kids as well as her job and bein around her is depressing. She makes continious mistakes and remains there - what does that say about C(Onsult Care...you cannot beign to compare our relationship...we have established with Ines, Kristen, Jaishree and Katherine - they do not have the option of staying on with the new providers, like the nurses do - Lakeside, you 3will be missed more than you kniow!!! ~Anonymous
bullet 06/13/06 Other DJJ facility-PJCF: How prevalent is the lack of security and staff coverage in other DJJ sites across the state. Here at PJCF we are almost always understaffed. Security and schedules suffer and nobody seems to care. Is this situation common or it just Securicor? ~Anonymous
06/12/06 Orange JDC: ...For your information Consult Care did not bid on renewing the contract with Orange [JDC] ! CCI did not want to renew due to the inappropriate behavior and unprofessionalism that some of the employees within Orange JDC displayed. Consult care inc is a company and to lump all the nurses into the category of your hate towards consult care is very ignorant.

05/05/06 Polk JDC: Tell me if this is true or not. Officers in a boot camp are seen on tape beating a youth and they are not fired. Officers at Polk get fired for doing there job and other officers lie about it…An officer gets fired for DUI, but the superintendent has been arrested for battery…Mr. Pemberton keep you zipper shut...
