DOVER, Del. -- Delaware correctional officers staged a "sick out" on Monday to demonstrate frustration over a perceived lack of action on calls to raise salaries and address other issues in prisons, according to sources familiar with the decision.

Dozens of correction officers participated in the coordinated sick day, according to sources with knowledge of the demonstration who were not authorized to speak publicly about the rank-and-file COs calling out.

DoC Spokeswoman Jayme Gravell said in an email message that the "vast majority" of correctional officers showed up for work Monday but would not comment on staffing levels at Delaware prisons, citing a potential safety risk.

However, Gravell noted that inmate visitation, a privilege officials have said is allowed under adequate staffing levels, was canceled at the Howard Young prison in Wilmington and at the Sussex Correctional Institution near Georgetown. The same privileges were available at the Vaughn Correctional Center near Smyrna and the Baylor Women's Correctional Institution and court and transport services involving correctional officers were not disrupted.

"Generally speaking, in the event of a staffing shortage, Wardens are empowered with the ability to cancel certain privileges including visitation and programs. This allows Officers to be assigned to different posts within the institution. We may also require mandatory overtime, but it’s something we try to avoid when possible," she said.

Additionally, Correction Commissioner Perry Phelps asked COs in an internal email to DoC staff not to participate in a sick out.

Phelps message, obtained by WBOC, told officers issues like pay could not be resolved overnight and require legislative approval. He also noted prisons may have to "freeze" COs in order to cover staffing requirements because of a "sick out."



"You currently have the support of the public and DOC leadership. It may feel like change isn’t happening fast enough, but a “sick out” is not the way to enact change or make a statement," he wrote.

The decision by many COs to hold a "sick out" comes more than two months after the Feb. 1 hostage situation at Vaughn, in which correctional officer Steven Floyd was killed. The inmate uprising has heightened tensions from correctional officers over issues like pay and safety, which many of them say is the reason for chronic understaffing at prisons.

Dover Attorney Stephen Hampton, who is considering a potential class action lawsuit against the state on behalf of Vaughn inmates claiming mistreatment followed the hostage situation, said the issues at Delaware prisons need to be addressed and the "sick out" was intended to send a message.

"This is one way they can do it," he said. "They can't really strike of course but this is a way they can call people's attention to some of their issues."

It is not a sick out they are using that term to make us look bad what we are doing is not accepting OVERTIME and forcing them to freeze us , freezing only allows them minimum staffing which prevents a lot of programs , visitation etc bringing pressure on from the inmate families . The statement that Vaughn ran normally is false they froze 50 officers from 12-8 shift to run 8-4 shift and the only thing they ran was visits cause god forbid the inmates can't see their loved ones!!!

Just the pants

 

Oh pffft. So your telling me he's gone a little crazy? You're saying his head isn't all the way thawed out from long cold winter on the northern tundra?
I like trackers. I'd like to have a tracker. But a tracker isn't a Nitro.

 

Got the windshield on my truck replaced. This outfit didn't damage my truck. But they didn't get pilkington glass, which is what I told them I wanted. And they didn't bother contacting me about it. Why is it so hard to find glass guys that arnt..............

 

I don't want a nitro. I like aluminum. Rocky bottoms and stumps don't mix with glass.

Me crazy?????

 

Cause mediocre is considered normal now

 

afternoon all then ribeye later. need new rx. went to eye doc this morning. chuck,can you spare some lololol

 

dug out the grill and got it working. I have a question for the weber folks the black plastic thing over the ends of the gas tube what exactly are they for? grill has been hard to turn on the second and third tube. I removed then and now the 2 and 3 tubs turn on.
the top road opened today looking more and more like spring.

 

Glad they are finally opening the roads there Bob! They are starting to close some around here for the spring thaw and frost line to go away.

If the black plastic things are what I think your referring to they are spider guards to prevent spiders from climbing inside the tubes to build webs and clog them up. You can get replacement kits for them likely Amazon or some of the other web sites. If you think you need them.

 

Had one of those 4 years ago.
Was sitting in the ready room at 6a.m. reading the paper when it hit.
I said WTF do we owe this to.
Had no idea what it was, but the EMT did.
On the pain scale of 1 to 10, it was a 20.

By the time I got checked out, it worked it's way to the bladder and I caught the little fugger in a coffee filter the next morning. Looked like a miniature asteroid.
Doc said tank up with water all the time. Beer is good too. He says you want to be pizz clear.
Good Times!

 

Ok, my take away from that story was: "Beer is good".

 

Second the motion. All in favor?

 

I don't know that I would be so trusting of any of them. My oldest works for Schwab. He and the 2 youngest worked for Big O. One now works at Walmart. Of all the tire shops here, the employees go from shop to shop to shop. Good employees that understand the work and others that use their short tenure as resume fodder. So it's a crap shoot who knows what and just how good they'll be.

 

Aye

 

Another Aye!

Accountant finally got my taxes done. I was fearing the worst and it was a lot less damage than I thought it would be. Still painful but at least not pissing asteroids. It just may be party time here soon..

 

s

work smarter, not harder

yup, alternate water and Gatorade. Will have to remember the alcohol thing
