Way to go Marilyn-the ultimate con to taxpayer's of this state!

[Rider]

Well deserved.

[Old-timer]

What a ripoff! This woman should have been fired and not allowed to retire. She is a disgrace to he race.

[Roger]

THE WORSE YOU ARE THE MORE YOU CAN RIP OFF PEOPLE, VERY TYPICAL OF STATE AND FEDERAL JOBS.

[elkcreek]

This whole mess should be investigated by the State Senate as well as the House of Reps. It is time to draw the line in the sand - what are we paying the legislature for? Launch an investigation and if nothing else deny her pension - to be paid like that is a bunch of crap.

[Leslie Shaffer Muncy]

I agree with you elkcreek!!!

Did they ever capture the escapee?

[Bigpapa]

Sounds like she needs to be in prison instead of running them.

[Amazed]

" I got mine, you get yours."

[Albion]

Marilyn,
Now that the escapee was caught-why don't you reapply for your old job !!!

YEs, Mr. Malcolm Kysor was captured in California recently. Police were tipped off by concerned citizens after he 'bragged' about being on America's Most Wanted.

There is not enough room to explain what I have actually seen. There is much , much more going on than people would want to accept even if they saw it (denial). Their is a certain type of personality (ignorance/barberic) that justs accepts what happens and looks the other way for whatever the reason. I did what I could in the short period of time that I had, but I couldn't take anymore and had to get out for my own survival; I have now (2yrs.) regained enough inner strength to get back into all the crazy to try and help. A person would understand only if they experienced it.

Like I said, you have to see it and experience it to understand. Corruption, cynical nature, abusive behavior, bashing, fighting over meaningless trivia, senseless murder, greed...you name it. It all exists in the system and because intitutions are more confined it is more noticible. Not everyone, but a good percentage, become effected both inmate and caregiver. If a person stays in it long enough and you don't guard yourself from it a person sometimes becomes the person they dislike the most; real life. Sorry, the best I can do for now.

I worked for the state for 2 1/2 yrs. in an institution for convicted felons. Sometimes a person reads what is happening in the news paper or hears what is happening on the news, shakes their heads and doesn't give it any thought. Then when you actually experience it, the effects truly become reality and your perspective changes 100%; you know they are true but hard to believe until you actually see it. I became very, very sensitive with other peoples feelings and not just mine or my families. I would never intentionaly go into another person's space unless forced to prior to this, I wouldn't bother people. I finaly opened my eyes and said to myself, "What can I do to help make a difference." People can't change other people they can only change themself. You can help guide them but you can't make them; "You can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink." I saw certain people actually try to physically beat some sense into inmates but this only made the person worse with anger and hostility; instead of showing them by actions what normal is. Most inmates come from very abusive environments and think this is the norm, it isn't; it was only for the inmate. The certain inmate and other types come to believe that compassion is a weakness, it's not it's a strength; sometimes people take things for granted. If society wonders why there is so much repeat offenders, all they need to do is work in this type of environment for 6-8 mths. and keep their eye's and mind wide open, they will soon have their answers.
