NorCo Corrections Wants Three Good Men ... or Women

Bob Meyers, Director of Corrections Northampton County jail, explained why he needs 3 part-time "central processing specialists" at yesterday's budget hearing. Six specialists work in the booking unit, a 24/7 operation that brings in $275,000, and "[t]hat's cutting it real thin." He's concerned about a "burn out factor."

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
