09/30/06 Other: The reason you don't see most of the top DJJ muckity-mucks around the state is that Jeb dosen't want people to observe how worthless they really are. If folks actually realized how badly we are getting hosed it might prove very embarrassing. Pifer, Chervanik,Lorenzo,Mackelroy,Eggers; what an expensive wasteland those DJJ offices in Tallahasse are! The big "Knishe" takes the prize. The quaility of this sorry assemblage can be well judged by the current state of DJJ. ~Anonymous

09/30/06 Osceola JDC: I'd have to see it to believe it. An honest,intelligent DJJ supervisor would be very rare; like a white buffalo or a two headed turtle. Someone at DJJ must have really messed up an accidentally hired a capable leader. This could be a good omen. ~Suspicious

09/30/06 Orange JDC: Williams knocked up the Secratary. What can of place am I working at? People are to conserned with doing eachother than coming to work everyday and that is probably why I have to work all my blue dots becuase all these people are to TIRED to show up. ~Disgusted SRJDO

09/30/06 Miami-Dade JDC: Hey Miami-Dade Annonymous, Did you say give the power back to the officers? You must be trippin! The hoochies and ho hoppers at that site can't run they own selfs. Problem is niether can the Administration! Just keep on screwing ,stealing and running your mouths till the state finally closes the nasty ho house down. ~Homestead Honcho

09/30/06 Orange JDC: If the pregnant ladies can't do the work they should stay at home. They not paying my bills. I got health problems too but I do the job. ~Anonymous Worker

bullet

09/30/06 Governor Candidates: To the next Governor (Crist or Davis), If you want your administration to be free of corruption,you must rid state government of the corruption at DJJ. Much of the leadership is tainted from years of "behind the scenes" deals,political connections, cozy relationships with lobbyists and contractors and slovenly organizational management. If you are a man of honor you will clean house and start anew with capable professionals that possess proper educational credentials and clean records. ~Voter

bullet

09/30/06 Leon JDC: Regarding the Leon JDC posting about a need for an inspection. Forget an internal , IG or QA inspection. These are generally just a charades put on to cover for the Department. Only an outside review will do any good because of the lack of integrity in the Department. ~Eye Witness

bullet

09/30/06 Miami-Dade JDC: To Officer Peter's at Miami-Dade.I have heard that you was turned down for a Supervisor position, because you had a suspended in the past.Ok Ofcr Peters if you want to make a issue out of that!!Ask the Depatrment how could you have a Supervisor that is Act as a Adm. that has been suspend atleast 2 times.Yes i am talking bout David Delancy. He also was involved in many abuse investigation.He also was involved with a incident with a officer by the name of Dingle.He resigned becasue David Delancy snitched him out, to save he's on neck.It is public records you know!! ~Someone thats has it on documentation (2 suspension)

bullet

09/30/06 Orange JDC: Pregnant officers are treated the same as any other officer, there is no such thing as light duty on the job unless you are injured on the job. If they cannot perform their duties then they need to go out on their leave, plain and simple. Its amazing that people see pregnancy as a disablilty, and Im sure they are aware of the risks even if they werent pregnant, it was their choice to choose the job they do and asume the risk involved. ~Bezel

bullet

09/30/06 Miami-Dade JDC: ...I know for a fact that those to officer can help because,I went to them with a write up that I have received.It had more lop holes in it, than Delancy fake ass briefings and Dale bulls**t ass lies he tells and also mistakes than number of relatives that Mrs. Hinson has working thier on A-Shift.Cathy what is the rule on nepotism? Because I truly beleive she has a daughter inlaw and a neice working on the same shift and under direct supervison on both... or maybe i should call Lawanda Sparks to see how that works!!!! ~Got Help From EX-Officers [Note from J4K: Research DJJ website links or contact union for rules/policies.]

bullet

09/30/06 Miami-Dade JDC: ...Once again we have another kiss ass officer's writting s**t... Read the labor law ass and and you would know that they cant forces us to work all those hours.I have contacted the labor board... I bet if you call Gus about a problem and tell him your name,his is going to ask someone he trust about you.So if you got skeleton in your closet when you do call Gus.Because honest and trustworthiness means alot to him.So keep blowing smoke without a fire and see what happens. ~I am Doing My Job

09/30/06 Miami-Dade JDC: ...Since you say "the kids have the power".You must dont know how to do your job, that well then... the kids dont have the power you do jackass!!If you knew your job you would know this... Just the other day Walter Davis was out at the Detention Center in a meeting with the Dale and His Get Fresh Ass Kissing Crew.Trying to get the stolen property s**t straight.For you to talk the crap that you do... You couldnt get yourself out of a hot car with the windows down. ~I Wont There Help

bullet

09/29/06 Orange JDC: If a serious injury or death should occur at Orange JDC after the numerous warnings and indications of irregularities that have been demonstrated on this board ,it will be grounds for prosecution of the leadership that allowed the problems to exist and go uncorrected. Pifer,Chinault and Williams will not be able to shift the blame to others. Hopefully the facility will be investigated before a tragedy occurs. ~Parent

09/29/06 DJJ Policy: This week's winner of the "DJJ Genius of the Week Award" is given to the scholarly and articulate "Hurricaine" of Miami-Dade. The unique writing style of this illustrious author is of the same caliber as the works of the renown Scarlett,Zack and the other talented writers of the fount of intellectualism that is Miami-Dade JDC. DJJ can be proud of the expressive skills and demonstrated intelligence this employee and of this facility as representatives of the level of excellence we have come to expect from the Department. ~Award Committee

bullet

09/29/06 Other: To Tax Payer, It angers me to know that I am working every day to pay the salary of individuals like Anthony Schembri. He may get more for one speech than I earn in six months but I never lied or cheated to make a dollar and I never took advantage of messed-up kids and their families. Shame on Schembri and shame on our state government that allows such things to occur. ~Anonymous

bullet

09/29/06 Orange JDC: To Concerned Officer, Good Question. What is an eight month pregnant woman doing at work? She should be charged with the neglect and abuse of her poor little unborn child. Why would she put her kid at risk? A woman should take responsibolity for their own health and not expect everyone to carry their load. Does she have a husband? He should be supporting her until she can work again safely. ~A Mother

bullet

09/29/06 Miami-Dade JDC Zack, Give it a rest. You just meetin your own needs for attention. Gus will listen to the people workin here now. We don't need old news loosers on an ego trip. Try bingo or go to the track. Get a life and get lost. ~Anonymous

bullet

09/29/06 Miami-Dade JDC: Zack, Did you and Scarlett drop out of the same school? You express yourselves in the same extremely ignorant manner. I'll bet you two were classmates in the special ed. program at Dumbass Academy for Idiots. Jackson was probably the class president. You just keep on speakin out and everyone will look down on all of us. You don't speak for me. ~Anonymous

bullet

09/29/06 Orange JDC: If anybody is unable to do the job they should stay home (pregnant or not). DJJ should provide condums for the evening shifts, that might help solve this problem. ~Anonymous

bullet

09/29/06 Other: To Tax Payer, Good questions. If you recall Schembri was involved with the scandal in New York where hundreds of his subordinates left work to work for Republican candidates. Maybe Bush and Gugliani felt like the knishe had earned a soft landing after he was caught with his chubby hand in the till in NYC. The reason he hasn't been fired at DJJ after all the deaths and other scandalous incidents, could be that Bush dosen't want another of his appointees to embarrass him. I can't believe a new Governor will keep him around long. ~Voter

bullet

09/29/06 Orange JDC: A woman eight months pregnant should keep herself and her unborn baby safe at home. If she has a husband he should show some manhood and look out for her. If she don't have a husband... Oh well.. it is DJJ. ~Anonymous

bullet

09/29/06 DJJ Policy: To J4K, Cathy ,do you know if there has ever been a public explanation of just the specific tasks performed by all of those so-called "key staff" in the Tallahassee DJJ offices. We see the impressive titles and pay-scales but the specific job functions are questionable. I hear that the Secretary is rarely seen doing anything... that the formal educational training of most of these individuals is for the most part, not in areas related to human development or rehabilitation. Most are apparently political appointees... That could well explain the current state of DJJ... ~Tax Payer

09/29/06 Osceola JDC: To Sergeant Lopez, Congrats on new job. Watch your back buddy. Honest,decent people in leadership at DJJ are very rare. If the recent posting about you is accurate, you will be a very welcome addition. It may be difficult for you to maintain your integrity in a corrupt organization. Stand strong and be vigilant. ~Anonymous

bullet

09/29/06 Leon JDC: What is happening at Leon Detention Center? Why is everyone leaving? There must be a problem? Is there anyone going to look into this? Officers, tell me what's wrong. Don"t be afraid. Should there be an internal or IG investigation done within DJJ? ("Ha Ha".) Something is happening. Maybe the DJJ leaders don't want to find out. Leon Detention officers,I am afraid of losing my job, but we got to find out what's going on. If we don't, we all may not have a job. Someone please respond. Tell me something.Someone knows. ~Anonymous

bullet

09/29/06 Osceola JDC: Somebody call Ripley's ! Break our the band and uncork the bubbly. If it is true that DJJ actually employed a capable supervisor, that is really unbeliveable, awesome news. I hear there're having a blizzard in Hades. Let's just be sure that Supervisor Lopez doesn't turn out to be a ringer. Hopefully he isn't one of the typical lazy, stupid,on-duty sleeping, screwing the help, DJJ supervisors disguised as a quality employee. Maybe this is a trick. Osceola keep us posted. I Sure hope you are right about this guy! ~Anonymous

09/29/06 Orange JDC: Orange JDC...Another stellar performance in the career of Greg Chinault! At least his record is consistent. ~Anonymous

bullet

09/29/06 Governor Candidates: It is a shame that niether major gubernatorial candidate has spoken out forcefully on the disgraceful conduct of DJJ. The latest cover-up attempt related to the Palm Beach JDC was a very clear indication of the corrupt practices that have become the standard for the Department. Multiple Deaths,as well as incidents of contamination, abuse and fraud should have provided adequate cause for a major revamping as well as possible criminal prosecutions. The current DJJ leadership at all levels has become ingrained in a corrupt system of deceit and concealment... ~Tax Payer

bullet

09/29/06 Miami-Dade JDC: Zakery, You got a big ego problem. Find something else to do with your computer. The primary reason Miami-Dade is a mess is the low-lifes that DJJ has hired to administer,supervise and staff the place, at least half are idiot trash. Barreiro, already knows how bad things are with the whole rotten Department. If you got specifics share them with him. If not ,give it a rest. Get your ego kicks on your own dime. ~Anonymous

09/28/06 Orange JDC: So the new mental health supervisor was fired? Who was that??? John from Park is doing a mental health therapist? Wow, what drama..........Is the therapist good looking? Please tellme it's not anyeater or twiggy....My question is who the hell is this Disney biatch that makes her so attractive to ANYone. What is in it for John besides a year of job security? ~Anonymous

bullet

09/28/06 Miami-Dade JDC: To Officer Q.T. from Miami-Dade, I agree with most of your comments about the negative effects of the poorly written postings on this website from Miami-Dade. I disagree with you on one point,however. Jackson and Zackery have never put a single coherent message on this board. Their postings are usually as poorly written and stupid as the rest. Apparently they see themselves as some kind of leaders. Forget them. Call Gus yourself. I don't need any has beens to rep for me. The Department has no fear of last years news. We need to look to ourselves. ~Doing my JOB

bullet

09/28/06 Governor Candidates: Question: With a record of dishonesty, law violations, out of court settlements and misuse of his office in New York; why was Anthony Schembri appointed to a high state office in Florida? Question: After numerous scandals,cover-ups, incidents of abuse and death; why is Anthony Schembri still holding the high state office? The likely answers are not very pretty. Time for a major clean-up in Tallahassee. ~Tax Payer

bullet

09/28/06 Miami-Dade JDC: I can not believe that DJJ can not find staff to serve in these facilities that can at least read and write on an elementary level? Essentially all the postings from Miami-Dade appear to come from very poorly educated and not very bright invividuals... Surely Gus Barreiro isn't really involved with all the dim bulbs that use his name. ~Anonymous

bullet

09/28/06 Orange JDC: Did Pifer,Chinault,Disney, Williams or anybody deal with the confusion at Orange related to procedures for Suicide watch? Has anything been done about falsified watch logs or sleeping on duty? Will another kid be allowed to die unecessarily before corrective action is taken? The issue of the paper gown is secondary to the callous attitudes and lack of professionalism displayed by program staff. An immediate review of this facility may well prevent another DJJ tragedy ~Parent

bullet

09/28/06 Osceola JDC: Morale has always been for the most part positive at Osceola Regional Juvenile Justice Detention Center. However since the addition of Sgt. Miguel Lopez to the Supervisory staff, subordinate staff morale has since gone through the roof. His consistent professionalism, outstanding communication skills, and unparalleled expertise of DJJ policy and procedures, is most remarkable... "Sgt. Miguel Lopez, you are commended for your direction of an outstanding team... "When you have faith and trust in your team, you will always win !!!" ~An Inspired Officer [NOTE FROM J4K: Message forwarded to DJJ's Ken Pifer and Michael Lowery.]

bullet

09/28/06 Orange JDC: One simple question: What is officer Anderson who is 8 months pregnant and officer Young who is 6 months doing working on the mod or in booking/intake ares. That is high risk. What is going to happen when a fight or pushing happens and one of them gets hurt. Please Supt. Williams open your eyes. They need to be doing light duty work. No matter what shift it is a risk. Place them in Master Control or Office duties. We do not need any more media attention or lawyers...... ~VERY CONCERNED OFFICER

bullet

09/28/06 Miami-Dade JDC: ...Jackson and Zack, shut up please... You do not even work with us any more, so how can you help us. I mean we are getting sick and tired of the same old s**t out your mouth. I mean get a life and stay off our site. We can handle our self. And if we can't we'll go down trying... Open your eyes and see the these lil f***ers are not children. Because if they were they would not be doing the s**t they're doing. So Sec. listen up, you to Gus, give the power back to the Officers and watch your detention centers run smooth. ~Anonymous

09/27/06 Orange JDC: They just got rid of the best Mental Health person since Inez, and why? Because he would not kiss Disney's ass like John does. We told Inez all along that there was a plot to get them out of here so that ass-kissing John could be brought over. Not only is he kissindg Disney's ass (and she LOVES it), but he is also kissing his new therapist's a## as well - John remember that you are a married man! Hey ladies, miss Inez yet?:) ~Anonymous

To all of the others. Don't get discourage, but be encourage .

09/27/06 Other: To all Officers: If you really need and want our help!! Stop posting crap on the board.My self and Jackson can not stand in these people face and say that Miami-Dade has good workers out there.When you are posting bulls**t on the board.I have stood in front of the media,Gus Barreiro and the Politicans.I said 'you are a great punch of guys'.But they say how can we believe you,when we read what they are putting on Justice4kids!!So yes they read this!!So please try and show that we can be professional...

You are being labeled as ignored ass officers.I am going to keep it real with you!!Some of the crap you post on here is just plain stupid!!That is why people dont want to stand up for you. . . You already know that Gus is reading this board everynow and then.So if he become in charge you think he is going to keep some of your ignored ass working there for him. . . Miami-Dade is already considered the "HELL HOLE" so just keep running the place in the ground. ~The Hurricane

09/27/06 Orange JDC: Lt. Thomas, may I ask you why you find the need to punish the rest of us because you can't seem to stay awake on a shift in which you are supposed to be in charge of? None of us are the reason you have to work two jobs. When you took this position or when Mr. Williams offered it to you, both of you knew of the resposibilities your job would entail. I apologize if one of them is to stay awake... Do us all a favor, turn in the badge and white shirt you have brought shame to, sign your resignation slip... Oh, and Superintendent Williams please don't hire or promote anymore nasty sleeping supervisors. ~Anonymous

If you ever read the headlines it says "Miami-Dade Detention Center...DJJ...Juvenile Detention, etc. Not once have they mentioned one individuals' name.

09/25/06 Miami-Dade JDC: With all of the problems at Dade, all of the violations of workers rights and state policy and procedures, all of the unjust firings and mistreatment by superiors on staff, and all of the shameful things being done to youth throughout the department, the best we can do at Miami-Dade is gossip about whos sleeping with who. Very, very sad. With our priorities so out of whack, is it any wonder why the department keeps screwing us and getting away with it? ~Ofc Q.T

09/25/06 Miami-Dade JDC: Despite all the complaining... most of the disgruntled ofcs at Dade enjoy the drama in their jobs. Actually, most of them are the cause of it. You have alot of great ofcs but a great bunch of them are causing the good ones to look bad with their rumor spreading... not one except for Jackson and Zachary have posted reasonable solutions to any of the problems...

09/25/06 Other: The WONK is right about one thing. DJJ has been a mess for long time. Schembri may be a a known low-life con-man but he is not the whole problem. The lower-line DJJ administration is composed mostly of lackeys,loafers and climbers. Past Secretaries have largely been political errand boys and greedy takers. Maybe this department is beyond redemption. Scrub it and start clean from the beginning. Take out all of the old garbage and open the windows. Get some fresh air in those offices. ~State Employee

09/25/06 Other: To the Wonk, " Pass the Buck" Did you say pass the buck? How could anyone associated with an organization that devotes so much effort,state money,and time to covering up the wrong-doings of the Department and protect the fat cats,ever have the nerve to use the term "pass the buck"?

09/25/06 Miami-Dade JDC: Once again this board has been favored with another fine example of scholarly prose from an employee at Miami-Dade JDC. The posting from Anonymous 9/24 made use of colorful words depicting feces, testicles, copulation and the confused gender orientation of his dog...the richness of his word choices created an excellent example of the quaility of this DJJ facility. One could gain an understanding of the status of DJJ facilities by observing such excellent examples of DJJ staff skills and intellectual capacities. Hopefully this scholarly writer will provide more... ~Anonymous

09/25/06 Other: Hey Wonkster..Good to have you back. You're still full of crap but we missed you. Don't be a stranger. The Morons from Miami are really starting to get boring with all the ebonics and woof talk. Your party line approach to the status of DJJ (though terribly misguided and probably self-serving) is a welcome diversion from the vulgarity of some of your less articulate DJJ compatriots. ~Surfer

bullet

09/25/06 Other: To the DJJ WONK , Tell the truth. I think you are (or once were) an honest person. Do you really believe that Schembri was a good choice to lead DJJ? Does it not trouble you that he cheated and violated the law in New York and worst of all took advantage of a position of public trust? Do you deny that DJJ has attemted to cover up or play-down incidents of abuse,neglect,violence,contamination and even injury and death? Just answer from your heart. Perhaps you still have some honor and compassion. ~Dunedin

bullet

09/25/06 DJJ Policy: To The Wonkster...Bankhead and Alarcon were pretty ineffective political pawns with big egos. Schembri is a documented crook. Most of the veteran DJJ administration sold out any principles they may have had years ago. You are wrong in comparing DJJ to other departments is state government. While most are wracked with politics and all have problems; DJJ is by far the rauchiest in terms of corruption and deceitfulness.... Why ,in dead kids alone you have them all beat hands down ,not to mention cover-ups, abuse and XXX rated facilities... ~Old Friend

How about Old Good Time Charley Chervanik, whats he been up to? The responsibility for the mess in Dade and Orange and Pinellas and Polk City and Okeechobee lies in Tallahassee. The capital fat cats have allowed the programs to rot from within. The corruption,the mold and even the blood is on their hands. ~Anonymous

09/24/06 Miami-Dade JDC: Dear Old Friend... I did not post that last message. I am pleased to see that there are several people that also are tired of you and the other weak minded individuals that know how to pass the buck. You blame the leadership for everything... First, you blamed Calvin Ross, then you blamed Bankhead and Alacron, now you blame Schembri... How about you go up to Tallahassee and run the Department... DCF, DOC and several other State Agencies also have the same problems as DJJ. They were able to get rid of the corrupt leadership, and yet they are still having the same systemic problems ~THE DJJ WONK

09/24/06 Palm Beach JDC: With regard to the Palm Beach JDC situation, the conditions of the facility and program are ,indeed, bad; but the Department's cover-up attempts (Palm Beachgate) are much worse.

09/24/06 Other DJJ facility: At times the behavior of staff at some sites reminds me of the female dogs(bitchs) on the street backing up to one mangy street dog after another.

09/24/06 DJJ Policy: If all DJJ facilities were assigned a comtingent of reasonably intelligent,honest and dedicated administrators and supervisors,adequate programming could be maintained in spite of marginal line staff. Lazy,office-bound,politically motivated or absent leaders can not insure an orderly environment. Weak, evasive leadership combined with low-functioning,immoral staff create a desperate siuation. Unfortunetly this is the common status of the DJJ facilities across the state. ~Anonymous

DJJ is just plain lucky to have some good staff working at the facilities. The pay and retirement plan is terrible. Facilities often have 10 vacancies with 9 applicants who don't have criminal records...

I have no fear of the "glass house", I've lived in it for 19 years. ~Anonymous

09/19/06 Other: Suicide prevention is 5% mental health assessment and 95% supervision.You don't need mental health professionals constantly supervising. They can assess and give you a level of supervision. Detention staff can take it from there. No excusses. If it says constant supervision, provide it. If the youth attempts to harm himself, get assistance and get in the room and stop him. When the crisis passes, be a good listener and refer youth back to M/H for further assessment. Also, keep the youth busy with the rest of the population whenever possible. All youth in the general population are under constant supervision. ~Anonymous

09/19/06 Miami-Dade JDC: This is to 'Still Your Friend I Hope' on 9/17. First...if you were my friend you would have not written what you wrote without knowing the facts first. For example, You write the names of everyone that worked in ARO at the time and that is fine because we have nothing to hide. You also write that the people who directed us to work there was Janice Walker, Sharon Shore, Eleese Davis, Ms. Maldonado-Gonzalez, etc. If you are an employee that worked there at that time you would have known that the administartion team you called was correct and you failed to mention the QA team. The only thing that was INCORRECT is that... ~M. Jackson

09/19/06 Orange JDC: To the Orange-JDC JDO, The concerned parent has it right. You should not be with emotionally distressed kids. You just don't get it. It isn't about the paper gown. It's about having a professional attitude and a little commom decency. Sure there are times when a paper gown is called for. At such times the kid should be under the watchful eye of a caring adult. That ain't you. Maybe they can use you in the kitchen? ~Anonymous
