Illinois Prisons: Return of the Middle Managers

They return via a fat study. From Pantagraph.com: Governor now wants more middle managers in prison system

The administration says the proposed changes are part of a restructuring that was recommended by the Harvey M. Rose Accountancy Corp. of San Francisco, which the administration hired for $443,000 in 2005 to investigate whether state prisons were adequately staffed.

The results of the consultant's initial study, however, were rejected and sent back for revisions. The final version – weighing in at more than 1,000-pages – called for the restructuring, budget documents show.

So now, four years after Blagojevich said the prison system needed fewer shift commanders, Corrections spokesman Derek Schnapp said the agency needs more.

''They need shift commanders,'' Schnapp said Monday.

Of course they need new shift commanders now. They just did not need Republican shift commanders then. They need good Democratic shift commanders. The patronage workers that could not pass the tollway exam will do nicely as shift commanders. Every politicians' brother in law, girlfriend, ex wife needs a job somewhere.

Believe me when I say .... there is real truth in what the previous post states !! It's rampant not only at IDOC....but just about every other agency & it's really getting worse. "Patronage" is still a reality ... but these people really take the cake. It's the old ""yesterday I couldn't spell it ...now I are one !""
