Why so many open positions? Could it be they threatened DOC employees to get the vaccination or be fired? Then they did not carry through however many staff left. Also they had a director who cared more about offenders than staff. They have hired people under the age of 21 and hired former DOC inmates to work there. DOC needs to be investigated. Staff are in danger not only from being overworked but working in unsafe conditions.

To bad CDOC doesn't care! And will continue to work their employees to death!! Admin staff don't care how short staffed they are! And never will

They increased the shift to 10 or 12 hours, but that doesn't help the shortage of employees. As a former correction employee, before I resigned I worked many days in a row. 9 days in a row after I got COVID. They'll kill a person one way or another

I’m so sorry this is beyond sad

July 1 2022 Benjamin Shuler. RIP Brother. Wrecked his car after a overnight shift at colorado territorial correctional facility. It's not any particular day it's the amount of overtime that's killing correctional officers and the feds out of Florence right now are no better.

This breaks my heart. My daughter works for DOC. IN CANON CITY.

It is truly sad how hard they work the correctional officers and how little they truly care about their staff. Inmates are cared about more than the staff! A year later the vacancies are an issue because they mandated vaccines and their covid policies were insane... why are they acting so shocked? Oh wait, Polis legalized working at CDOC and being able to smoke pot now. That should fix it 🤣🤣 Some facilities have been working months on 12 hour mandatory shifts 4 days a week and expected to still work overtime...

Should dig a bit deeper 13. Up in Sterling facility they're putting people on schedules that haven't even attended the academy yet. The numbers are worse than what they're giving you.

He and I worked at the same facility. It’s marinade! Not just here. I work at a different facility in a different state now and I work 16 hour shifts every single day…4 days in a row with only 2 ways off! It’s fukking cruel!

Investigation needs to happen!!

One day people will understand that the Staff working in these facilities should be seen as more important than the Offenders. Some good changes have been made but what would really do the trick is to up the pay to match the surrounding areas and then return the standards to a higher level. 59k a year is not worth the amount of garbage these men and women have to deal with. Specially with how entitled the offender population is becoming.

This is the way it is in Michigan now . Because the state took all the benefits for co's they can't find anyone . They don't care though .

You can make better money asking, “would you like fries with that?”

Sad 💔😭😪😇🎄🎵😢😢rip

We worked our asses off during covid

😞

If you're a police officer working this job if I were you I would reconsider you have families to look after and there's a Time coming we're looking after that family is going to be a lot more important than serving your job because the people that you're going to be forced to face in that job are the very people that you are pulling away from their families so think about this if you want to go home to your family don't you think we want to go home to our family you might want to start thinking about this I would be quitting my job if I were you guys
