AND ANOTHER WARDEN BITES THE DUST

by Bob Walsh


The NEW warden, sent in to clean up the Metropolitan Correctional Center after Jeffrey Epstein maybe self-rehabilitated, is now history.

Marti Licon-Vitali, 54, abruptly retired this week.  She had been there one year.

It is generally speculated that her departure may have had something to do with the following.

A severely mentally disabled prisoner was left in a holding cell for 24 hours in violation of policy.  He did, however, make friends with several rodents in the tank.

A report of sexual misconduct by a superior was sat on for a significant period of time.

A gun was found inside the facility.

A shitload of cell phones and shanks were found.  (No huge surprise there.)

Non-custody personnel were drafted into doing custody duties due to extreme staff shortages.

An inmate died in September due to reasons that have yet to be revealed, other than that they were no Covid.  The prisoner, Tony McClam, had complained of ongoing health problems and poor to zero medical treatment.  Autopsy reports have yet to be released.

Texas has suffered from similar problems. It will continue because CO's are paid a dismal salary and you get what you pay for.
