CPT David Collins, Northampton County's first ever black captain at the jail, was suspended on July 13, with pay, and walked out of the jail. Reason? He's a whistleblower who was victimized for reporting, in good faith, instances of wrongdoing or waste. He was even grilled over his contacts with me, all of which were initiated by me and after his suspension.
I am pleased to report that CPT Collins has been reinstated and is coming back to work
Collins has been a forceful advocate for minorities at the jail. He also understands that, while many people in a county jail are convicted criminals, they are still human beings and should be treated like human beings.
Executive Lamont McClure declined to discuss the matter, but Collins told me yesterday that he expects to be back at work soon.
His wife is very happy.
