There was a notice from a Senator Virginia Brown-Waite.  It stated that if any Inmate was beaten or mistreated, they should write her and let her know about it.

Well, that notice, like so many before and since, only stayed up for about an hour before the guards took it down so the Inmates could not read it.

If the DOC's emphatic statements that nothing is remiss in Florida's prisons were the truth, this kind of secrecy would not be so standard in the DOC.

INTRA-PRISON TRANSFERS

RE: CALHOUN MISINFORMATION

"THE CLASSIFICATION OFFICER at Calhoun CI is reportedly telling prisoners that "IN THE PANHANDLE THE RULE IS YOU HAVE TO BE IN THE PRISONS FOR THREE YEARS AND D.R. FREE FOR THREE YEARS."

The actual rules read THAT YOU HAVE TO BE IN A PRISON FOR A YEAR AND D.R FREE FOR THAT YEAR. CAN ANYONE PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THE RULES HAVE CHANGED AGAIN?"

There was a recent rule change.
NEW RULES EFFECTIVE DECEMBER 4th, 2002

33-601.215 Classification - Transfer of Inmates.

Upon completion of the reception process, each inmate shall be assigned and transferred to the institution approved by the State Classification Team that might best facilitate his institutional progress. Inmates may subsequently be transferred from one institution to another; however, the goal of the classification system is to retain inmates at institutions for longer periods of time in order to reduce transfers and stabilize the inmate population. Inmates participating in academic, vocational, substance abuse or betterment programs will not be transferred to another institution prior to completion of the program unless the program is available at the receiving institution, or for purposes of population management or security and safety concerns specifically set forth in writing. Transfers are subject to review by the inmate grievance procedure.

Specific Authority 20.315, 944.09 FS. Law Implemented 944.09, 945.12 FS. History, New 10-8-76, Formerly 33-6.03, Amended 7-21-91, 10-11-95, Formerly 33-6.003, Amended 9-19-00.

Immoral Behavior
Because ANYTHING done on state time
IS the business of the citizens footing the bills!

Let me tell you a story about the woman guard who worked at Calhoun, who's husband also worked there. She was reportedly having an affair with one of the Inmates.

Needless to say, when the affair was discovered, she was moved to a different Institution. But, as usual, the Inmate did not fare so well.  He was beaten almost to death by the guards and was moved very quickly before anyone could see him.

The story has it that the unfortunate lover was beaten by Mayo and her crew down in lock up.
