And here I am watching this and thinking is it ME that's recognizing the bs of words she's using of saying something while NOT saying ANYTHING, ANYTHING AT ALL, at the same time!??!!! Thank you for making your comment❤

She is the 6th crook in 6 years to try to sweep the accountability under the jail 😢🤯 You would be a fool to buy any of the snake oil she is selling the media!!

Thats exactly what i thought, “shes a good politician”

I agree 💯💯

I agree 100%. She has an answer for EVERYTHING!! I liked the 60 Minutes reporter who kept her on point!!

Of course, she is employed by the Federal Government! They learn the art of doublespeak. Especially the BOP. There prisons are literally falling apart, foundations cracking, consistently understaffed, some very violent like Hazelton FCI, and they just want to keep it all swept under the rug and hush hush.

I believed every word the inmates said, it was all staged. The Director is useless!!!

AGREE. 20 YEARS NO PAROLE.

Love if they did one on the warden where the Jan 6ers are being held.

Sad but probably true. Prison reform is a true need. But I think investing in education and children is where it needs to begin.

She has nothing to do with 6 directors. The other five served under the trump mal-administration, the last one resigned in disgrace.

@sandgroper1970 I was thinking the same thing. She is in protective mode, I don’t believe anything she says…

​@@kimberlyenglehardt5770hell yeah, get to them before they go to prison!

​@chakastyles8794 Especially of all the Federal agencies, the BOP are the biggest liars and cover up artists. Dude just got murdered over at Hazelton FCI, and they won't say a word about it because it's 'under investigation.' After the heat wears off, they still never release a damn bit of information. It only gets out because the inmates find out and tell their families or a whistle blower goes to the media and they are so scared of losing their job they don't even reveal their identity.

Indeed

She sounds a lot like Kamala.

This, especially staffing numbers, is clearly a longstanding problem with no quick or easy solutions. Not sure what you want hear. A false sense of security?

Absolutely disastrous interview by this “mouthpiece”. She won’t make it a year.

@@erikcampen3246Dude we get it. No need to post the same thing 20 times

Yeah, that was very odd

Ĺllĺĺĺlĺllllllllllĺllĺllĺĺ

I can say we need 1,000s more to properly staff these prisons for our staffing needs. We are understaffed and most prisons have been operating at emergency staffing capacity. Basically they reduced the staff requirements for each shift so they can say we are not understaffed. So even if we got those positions filled we would still be only filling the holes to be staffed at emergency capacity.

Well, she is a bureaucrat --- no different from a politician, really.

I'm so sorry about your mom. 😔

Don't commit crimes and you won't be in prison.

​@@MonkeyDeliciousignorance.

I was there when it first opened it was 100 of us

I was there in 2015 to 2016 before going to Carswell. I was there when the tornado hit. This place is horrible. Forget about medical! Prayers for your mom.

She literally told on herself

For 2 years she can't count? And how is that improving the 40% deficit of staff?

@@MajICReiki😂not "for 2 years she can't count" Welp look like she just added another year to that. She still working on counting🚮

Some victims may disagree with you.

You clean it up, you don't hide the messes.

Because she is

I agree

I mean 6 directors in 6 years the BOP is bad but give her a chance to do better first

@acdc123456781 She didn't even know how many officers they need to be fully functional. She sounds like a politician and should be fired

What is BOP

​@@SecondHandReaction Bureau Of Prisons.

I wish there was a Federal living wage paying job guarantee available for everyone who is healthy enough to work, and not busy work, but productive jobs in every sector of the job market, so the jobs aren't repetitive hell type jobs that burn people out

Inmates did say it was staged 6:31 but isn’t jail suppose to be “awful”?!?! There need to be some level of deterrence 🤔

Tell us more about your life after prison. Did you get a job? How’s it going for you

How did you decide on that randomly generated looking user neme?

Not sure what crime you were convicted of but I would be interested as to how safe your victims felt while you were committing the crime.

LEFTIST PROPAGANDA AT ITS BEST ...

True

You're kidding, right? This was a total candy coated whitewash.

bot detected

@@BiffJohnsonIII now Biff, tsk tsk.

She's filling one of those emergency spots that's why. I was reading another comment that stated "she hadn't been able to count in 2yrs." Reason she didn't provide the number of job vacancies. She probably know. She just wanted to give political correct answers🚮

Being in charge of keeping human beings locked away ain’t a job I would feel proud of. It does take a certain type to do corrections and remain human yourself. My hat is off to the thousands who do a good job at it.

Like most working in "the system". It's an easy check. Who is gonna complain 🤷‍♀️ no one cares when "they" do !

@@butameremortal9424but it’s selling your soul to hell more often than not

Right so we're no longer paying to support them whether it's in prison or public housing.

Exactly my thoughts.

Somebody’s gotta foot the bill for your entitlements ! Now, pay your damn taxes!

as soon as these women realize you loss half your pay check a week to taxes, they go back to old ways

I heard it

Yeah, think about that before you up to no good.

Very naive comment. There are 43 rape lawsuits right in now in BOP. She will no comment during ongoing lawsuits, that's common legal strategy. Obviously, you've never been sued, your comment basically admits that fact.

She was asked the same question in front of a panel about 4 months ago and said the same thing.

Botox, new suit, apparently. 😂

@@Lena-so2lq🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

lol, she knew the number. But she couldn't say she was short 8,000 guards, or even 4,000. Such a disclosure would've opened the feds to massive tort claims.

Why not ?

Sure

​@@SteveJobIess😂

Most of us abide by the law so we dont have to.

@@chrisbgood2359 your reading comprehension is that of a third grader. Your reply has no relevance on what I commented.

I understood what chrisbgood2359 was saying. His comprehension skills are just fine and I believe it has much relevance. Maybe you should reread what you wrote.

People who have never been in prison don’t need to “thank god” that they aren’t in prison. Their choice to not break the law is what ensures they don’t go. I never thank a higher power that supposedly exists that I have never been to prison. I just don’t commit crimes

The lack of compassion and empathy in the comments is awful. The level of undeserved self superiority and ego is sicking.

Can you tell us some stuff youve seen?

@jjpurcell2845. I’m sorry for your YA experiences, but I hope you can say they were formative & informative for you in a manner that you can be thankful not to re-live! I KNOW I’ve seen this same director interviewed elsewhere, on another documentary! Not so smoothly adroit with answers before, though! I wonder myself sometimes who feeds sharks the nifty vocabulary words I know they didn’t gravitate toward on their own-because they’d have an indicting effect on their own narc tendencies!! I don’t doubt the penal colonial aspects of incarceration. I hope you’ve recovered and have found purpose, decent people to bide along with, & better options for yourself, for your own family’s sake. It’s no accident that such people find employment in s godless, soulless vocation today. IF (& when) the society reaches critical-mass on living in medieval conditions & constructs that it finds “romantic” somehow, currently, all of the penal institutions will be re-formed or abolished altogether as failed experiments. Asylums & sanitariums did. The Bastille did. I suspect they only still exist to give emotional elevation to psycho/sociopaths who run them & reap the profits from them. Of course, corporate entities profit, too. It’s a greasy pole. I don’t remember which documentary featured this director but it can be found on YT for anyone looking. Stay well, Stay Blessed, & enjoy inner-PEACE. ❄️🪷🕯⚖️🌸🪷❄️

Compassion? For scumbags?

@@Buttersausagecops take people in the back where there's no cameras and do whatever. They have their own little gang and if they don't like the way you behaved they will handcuff you and take you to a room with no cameras and beat you.

@@jjpurcell8264 I believe you 😔 Oregon has a terrible history of corruption amongst ‘law enforcement’

They should have taken those classes before they got in prison

​@@christinefleming8435talking about guards

Don’t wanna go to Prison? Obey the Fricking Law!

Terrible!

Prison is horrible!

​@@russellbrown1068they are talking about the guards too! Foolish

I have a buddy who worked as a guard at San Quinton for years. He told me that the staff - his peers - were more difficult and treacherous to deal with than the inmates (in general).

It's the same thing Gavin Newsom said when the President of China came to San Francisco and they cleared out the tents and piles of feces for the first time in years.

This is why we should never depend on the government for anything, including welfare, healthcare, education etc. We have the best example of how the government has funded a society, including healthcare, welfare, education, monthly stipend, etc. Native Americans. Its terrible!

I no a lady that a prison nurse at Julia tuckwyler prison here in Alabama and she makes $32 hr. That good money in Alabama. This was a one sided story to try make victims out of women

they can't compete with police department pay

@@charlespatrick8650 Great point

@@shevyman6430 Agree…it definitely depends on where these jobs are located. Where I am, that would be hard to afford rent for a one bedroom; it’s probably not possible as I think about it.

​@@lettjones9990lol, he was most likely a nobody. Also, did you watch the expose? How about the part about retaliation? There's a culture of fear. Have you ever heard this saying? "He who tells the truth better have one foot in the stirup?"

Not mentioning the unpredictable environment dealing with people and staffing under immense pressure and stress

@@thegreencouchshow4029 💯

Tess is no hero or "Whistle Blower"... I worked with her. She was having an affair with the former Warden. When he got caught up, she is now embarrassed and doing everything in her power to do damage control in hopes that she's not discovered. It's true what they say about throwing stones in a glass house... she ruined her own marriage to be with a Warden who was sleeping with inmates behind her back! 😅

So they must like the SA, right? Why else would 95% come back for more?

I worked 28 years as a correctional officer before retiring in 2012. You hit the nail on the head with your explanation of how things work in the joint.

I believe it and I bet you can’t complain to anyone to fix it.

Did you hear about Tommy Silverstein in Leavenworth? The most isolated inmate

Wow..im a current CO..I heard alot about terre haute

It has gotten absolutely ridiculous. Al Capone got 11 years. Think about what that guy did. Today they hand out a sentence like that for a whole variety of things. If anything more people need to go to jail for a shorter period of time. What I'm saying is no more 10 and 20 years sentences for things where people aren't dead but a lot more 1 to 3 month sentences for people ripping off stores, destroying properties etc etc

Sure. A victimless drug crime. Let's make that one less.

"Sounds like she already decided on the sentence before hearing the crime" Yep, she dodges like a bureaucrat. BUT! I'd hope someone in that position would have thought through general issues like that. Hearing Specific crimes are for AG's and judges.

@@gen-X-trader The problem is 1 to 3 months doesn't change anyone. They get out, they do it again and again and again. If you want to fix the problem, give them 2 years with a mandatory college program. I believe 100% in providing services in prison for people to better themselves, but I don't think 1 to 3 months fixes anything. We can both agree prison by itself does nothing to solve crime. So if you can't learn new skills and change your lifestyle in 1 to 3 months, why even send them to prison at all? If a women is raped (not killed), is 3 months enough for the life time of trauma that women will live through? Countries who are the toughest on crimes have the lowest crime rates. Can you really say tough on crime is not effective?

@@heyaisdabomb I agree. The one two three months is people ripping off stores, doing property damage. Hooligan stuff. If you're dealing drugs, I don't just mean giving your buddy a pill, I mean like quantity. Hurting people, yeah years makes sense. A lot of first time offenders I have worked with though. They lacked structure. They weren't evil people. They were just careless. they didn't learn how to behave in the world. Bringing the construction programs back to prison. Great idea. College classes, great idea. Making sure first time offenders are only time offenders. Great idea. Not giving people 10 years plus on crimes where you don't have dead bodies. Also a great idea. Too many 18 to 25-year-old kids get caught up in drugs, teen girls or some type of thievery. Setting them up with life breaking consequences. None of us benefit from that. I think another way to say it, is basically regardless of what you've done, there should be some type of way out. Some way to redeem yourself. Think of all that tax revenue the government can make. Think of all the families the ones suffer because that one person who caught a crime 10 years ago could actually move on with his life. not just work the worst jobs. I'm all for making people prove it, but give them the ability to do so

U forgot to mention that there’s no climate control in the prison so in the summertime the dorms can get up to 120°. The fact that you want me to work eight hour days with no AC is not a good job.

Federal bureau of prisons pays a lot more and very probably has better benefits.

Wow, I wonder what happens when the guards get pregnant??

​​@@ilovemytribeThey just lie and tell their husbands they're the father 😂. Have to make sure to cheat with the proper color for skin matching, though.

Private prisons are some of it. The cost to operate is another part, we keep building more and more prisons because the sentences are so severe that people are doing years and years. If you want to get the best bang for your buck, you have shorter sentences that are more intensive, more rehabilitative and fewer prisons. It's going to require society standing up and saying this to make any kind of change. The old Boomer mentality of lock them up forever is not only ineffective, it's draconian and sadistic

When "the government" pays a bill, it's the taxpayers who are paying it, superbrain.

​@@correctionalofficer4lockdo763I don't think he's advocating for a scared straight situation where the students are treated as defective.

Only the Black students should, since that's where most of them will end up.
