	06/30/07 Miami-Dade JDC: Let's consider the Dade JDO's question "What's wrong with Miami-Dade JDC?". A complete and all-inclusive answer to that question would require an extremely long and detailed list of infractions,crimes,cover-ups,and generally unseemly,immoral and unprofessional behavior on the part of staff and administration alike. A concise and abbreviated answer might just say that the root of the problems at Dade spring from the fertile ground of corruption in the state and regional DJJ apparatus, and has been nourished with the fertilizer of deceit and political expediency. ~Cutler Ridge
	06/30/07 Hillsborough West JDC: Needs is not a racist, if he was he wouldnt hire so many black people. just look around. blacks are the biggest racist. they hate on eachother and everyone else. and when things dont go their way they pull that "race card". and everyone kisses ass not only darlene. at any job its a game of survival. so do whatever it takes to survive! ~Anonymous
	06/29/07 Miami-Dade JDC: To Miami-Dade Anonymous, You don't see the big picture. Doubler may well be a scum-bag but he is a saint when compared to Pifer,Davis,Criswell,Davidson and the rest of the corrupt parasites at DJJ. The mismanagement and subterfuge in the Department starts in Tallahassee. The"jury is out" yet on McNeil but ,the indications are that nothing much has changed in the rancid DJJ swamp. The political/financial interests of lobbyists, for-profit privateers,DJJ officials and insiders still over-ride the interests of the public or at-risk youth., ~State Employee
	06/28/07 Orange JDC: A year before Park Place took over Orange, John was already talking about it... It was all on the works with his friends... He was talking with Williams and Disney long before the bid... The bid was just a "show"... Dizney "liked" John because he told Dizney everything that she wanted to hear, and he is a "red tape (and red neck?) kind of guy" and he encourages and makes the staff to come up with all kinds of paperwork trail "protect themselves"... in case there is a "problem..." but there is a trade here... have the staff notice that Park Place staff spend less than 5 minutes in average with each kid... ~Orange Officer
	06/28/07 Miami-Dade JDC: To the Miami JJDO that Posted, My Sister, you are right about the management at Dade (Doubler sucks). But,get real, you are wrong about the "hard-working officers". Many of the staff at Dade is worse ganstas than the street kids and crazies here. There is a lot of sleeping on shift,talking on cell phones,smoking reefer,screwing around and back-stabbin. This place has always been a hole. Remember Omar...not much has really changed.) ~JJDO
	06/28/07 Escambia JDC: hey is it just me or is escambia jdc the worst place to work.??? favortisism is at a all time high!!! we had two colored (black) staff have heart attacks and one was told that he could not come back until he could work a 16.5 hour shift on the floor and the other was forced to come back early because he ran out of sick leave... now on the other hand there is a mexican lady who had some sort of "female" problem?? which she says required kemo? every one bent over backwards for this staff... ~scared staff
	06/27/07 DJJ Secretary McNeil: I had not put the name of Richard Davidson the new Assisstant Secretary of DJJ together with the sneaky rat that had been with the Department in the past until it was noted on this site. The return to DJJ of such loosers does not indicate that the long-awaited positive change is likely to occur any time soon. I still have hope that Crist and McNeil will clean up the Department state-wide but the selection of Davidson for such a top position does little to instill trust or confidence. ~State Employee
	06/27/07 DJJ Policy: So long as DJJ is staffed and administered with deceivers,incompetent careerists and crooks,we can expect lies, blunders and corruption; with or without the PR bullsh-t "Commission". ~ANONYMOUS
	06/27/07 Miami-Dade JDC: To the Person that Inquired About Miami-Dade, The main problem at Dade is that there is too much ghetto-talkin,low-life, trash employed at one place without quaility on-site leadership and with poor oversight or monitoring from the DJJ higher-ups. You asked he question and that is the true answer. ~See It Everyday
	06/27/07 DJJ Policy: To the Historian, Get real man (or lady). McNeil has already shown himself to be no better than the politically driven parasites that have led DJJ for years. By choosing and/or maintaining the likes of Davison,Pifer,Criswell,Chinault,Floyd,etc ; the Secretary has displayed his true colors. A righteous man would not continue to associate himself with known liars or with those responsible for the injury or death of youth in custody. Davison was chosen because he fits right in with the rest of the DJJ upper-echelon crowd. ~In-Sider
	06/27/07 Other: Regarding the posting on 6/22/2007. Anthony Schembri is teaching at the University of Florida in Gainsville. His bio and other info can be located on the UF website: http://www.clas.ufl.edu/events/news/articles/20070619-schembri.html You'll note that mention is made of his short stint as head of DJJ but little else. He reminds me of Bernie Keric... the disgraced police commissioneer under Rudy Guilianni who was found to have shady business dealings and other unsavory conduct in his past. ~Anonymous
	06/26/07 Miami-Dade JDC: To the writer who wants to know what's wrong at or with Miami Dade, I've got a couple of words for you to consider...: "Under Cover Management Corruption" Starting from the Office of Dobuler flowing all through out of his hired puppets (assistants) There is a lack of consideration given to us hard working officers... but you have a management team that publicaly promotes staff unity, but privately practices divide and conquer staff tactics. Let me encourage my fellow JJDO I and JJDO II that it won't be long, you can only be corrupt for so long, then the light will be shined on your dirty deeds. Hey Delancy, how's Ponder's foot healing? (classic example of CORRUPTION at its best) ~Anonymous
	06/26/07 Gus Barreiro: The quote by Gus Barreiro (in green on this board)is is a bit ironic. Barreiro credits the "success" of the Department to those that have chosen to work for DJJ. This statement has a bit of truth in it but is incomplete. He should also have stated that the dismal failure of the Department to protect the interests of incarcerated youth and the public also lies with those that "work" for DJJ. False reporting,cover-ups,fraudulent fiscal arrangements,poor oversight of contractors,whoring/sluttish behavior at DJJ facilities,and general lack of professional integrity are the hallmarks of DJJ operations in Florida. That's what Barreirro should have said. ~Get it Right
	06/26/07 Charlie Crist: Governor, Will the "Blue Print Commission" review the gross inefficiency of the administration in both DJJ regional and the state offices? The costs associated with positions created for political rather than functional needs like the so-called Office of Accounability and the redundant Director of Education(a DOE responsibility) are prime examples of high-priced fluff. A review of actual and specific work performed by Department officials would indicate that the reasons for DJJ's constant pleas for additional funding include waste,ineffiency,laziness and lack of accountability. ~Tax Payer
	06/25/07 Manatee JDC: The Facts at Manatee Dentention. There was a time when treating people poorly in a State Agency or any agency might have brought about a change once exposed. Manatee is still waiting for that change. Empolyees are never empowered in decision making. Empolyees are told about changes, "Deal with it or find alternate employement". Most have done so. We now are forced into reporting for duty thirty minutes earlier to work to satisfy Gargetts ego once again... Employees are told thier families come second to the job. Manatee is not a fear free environment... ~Anonymous
	06/23/07 DJJ Policy: QUESTION: How have the Regional Residential Directors been able to avoid responsibility for the failure to provide proper health and safety standards in the DJJ facilities under their charge? Even after many violations, mold,abuse,escapes, inappropriate sexual events,injuries and deaths,these incompetent career losers continue to collect a state check. There is no accountability at DJJ...only secrecy,cover-ups and lies. I fear the "commission" will be just more of the same old "show biz". ~Tax Payer
	06/22/07 Other: Say it ain't true! There is a rumor that the Knishe (Anthony Saprano Schembri) has been employed by my beloved University of Florida. If this is true ;they can kiss future donations from this alum goodbye. Hasn't that puffed-up charleton ripped-off our tax-payers enough? The folks back in NYC sent the greedy swine packing because of his dishonest practices at public expense. Our leaders in Florida should do the same. ~Gator
	06/22/07 DJJ Secretary McNeil: Did you select Richard Davidson for the position of Asst. Secretary? If so; you made a serious error... You would be wise to take any words from his mouth with a grain of salt and to watch your back in his company. There are many that look to you to clean up the Department. You have the reputation of an honest man. Unfortunetly you are surrounded by liars and crooks. As a career law man you should recognize scam artists and cons... ~DJJ Historian
	06/21/07 Other: Carolyn Floyd continues to be retained by Secretary McNeil as the North Residential Regional Director even though it is well documented by the Department's own audit and newspaper reports that the Residential facilities in and around Jacksonville are some of the very worst facilities in the state. This is proof positive that there is absolutely no accountability in DJJ and Secretary McNeil is not truly committed to change. ~Anonymous
	06/21/07 DJJ Policy: Suggestion for the Commission: DJJ should include very clear and specific standards for maintenance and acceptable levels of sanitation and cleanness for all DJJ facilities in the contracts... unambiguous and specific requirements along with... true and honest monitoring might actually result in non-stinking toilets and clean sleeping quarters and perhaps even a grundge and mold-free environment... ~Anonymous
	06/21/07 DJJ Secretary McNeil: ...What's the latest on the "commission"? Will this group be any different than past "planning/advisory" groups that included the likes of Chinault,Fontaine and Eggers... Hopefully the group will address the need for honest evaluations,record-keeping,and accountability at DJJ as a top priorty item. Simple integrity has been the primary missing element at DJJ... ~Capital Watcher
	06/21/07 Miami-Dade JDC: What is wrong Miami Dade Detention Center. Please someone post the truth!!! ~Anonymous
	06/20/07 Escambia JDC: Staff at Escambia detention has not had leave for 2 years,yet they double on 3 times per week,is this in violations? All staff at Escambia do not get lunch breaks,just J.Lee and K. Moore get lunch, is this in violation?Of all the staff that work in that facility they are the only ones that get to eat.How can a person that work in a facility for the state have charges and suppose to be an Assistance Superintendent of Operations,there is one at Escambia,J. Lee,if she can have charges and work as a superintendent,why can't other people… ~Anonymous [NOTE FROM J4K: Message forwarded to DJJ's McNeil]
	06/20/07 Other DJJ facility: Hats off to the Jacksonville Times Union for reporting on the terrible condition of DJJ sites in Northeast Florida. Too bad mother Trib is less observant of such matters around here. I can assure you that in the arena of dirty facilities,security lapses and doctored log books the Northeast has nothing on the Central Region. When it comes to stinking restrooms, dirty dorms,routine cover-ups and general sleaze our region is second to none. ~Riverside
	06/20/07 DJJ Policy: The recent murder trials and convictions from 1960's civil rights killings raises the question of whether it would be possible to revisit the cruel and brutal deaths,physical abuse and neglect of kids in DJJ facilities in past years. Perhaps the DJJ officials that failed to protect the youth in custody can still be brought to trial. At least they could be fired. Willie,Shawn,Danny,Omar,Martin and others deserve justice. ~Parent
	06/19/07 Riverside Academy: I think the problem at riverside is a need for a strong executive director. Jason is not the answer for Riverside nor [D]. [D] should not be around boys if you ask me. How can a gay man lead boys the right wat. ~Anonymous
	06/19/07 DJJ Policy: To Tax Payer, You make a very good point about the need for better management by DJJ of the big-time contracted providers but you miss the main issue altoghther. DJJ exists to serve the political and monetary interests of ex-legisltors and other lobbyists,career bureaucrats and corporate fat-cats. Troubled kids,their families and the tax-paying public are simply not top priorty concerns at DJJ. Just take a look at the Department's administrative staff across the state. Would any upright organization maintain such a collection of self-serving loosers? ~Old Timer - DJJ from the Get Go
	06/19/07 DJJ Policy: The disclosure by the Jacksonville newspaper of the deplorable conditions in the DJJ facilities in NE Florida was an indicator that all of the "truth warrior" reports on this board have been accurate. Conditions similar or worse than those reported exist state-wide. Let's see if any of the DJJ bigshots responsible for these disgusting events is fired for corruption or incompetence. Don't hold your breath. ~DJJ Insider
	06/18/07 DJJ Policy: Our state's love affair with privatization of public services and contracting with for-profit companies to manage youth correctional facilities can only be effective when an honest strict system of oversight by state officials/monitors is maintained to protect public interests and the welfare of the youth. DJJ has failed to properly monitor the heavily-lobbied,big money outfits that hold the majority of the DJJ contracts.Corruption and fraud along with slovenly perfromance and incompetence have placed incarcerated youth at risk. Lying,concealing infractions,and spinning the facts have been the path to career advancement at DJJ for years. Florida deserves better! ~Tax Payer
	06/16/07 DJJ Secretary McNeil: To Chief McNeil, Why hasn't Pifer been held accountable for the deplorable conditions and operations at so many detention facilities? Why hasn't Criswell been brought to account for the sanitized and manipulted QA evals at the very sites where abuse,contamination and death subsequently occurred? Where is the accountability that Ms.Davis' expensive job was created to address (remember that story?)? How have the incompetent regional directors maintained their positions in spite of repeated incidents of questionable fiscal practices, on-going contractual violations by providers,abuse and mold? We don't need a new blueprint. We need capable and ethical leadership at DJJ. ~Tax Payer
	06/15/07 Other: i would like to receive the grant and coumputer to investagate the drug companys that are not certified to sell drugs in our county. The over site committee offered a 3,000 doller grant and gov cumputer to do this helpful information..please contact me....asap ~laura aviani laura_aviani@hotmail.com 541 4595423 [J4K sent this reply: I have no clue what you are writing about. What grant in what county? ~Cathy]
	06/15/07 Other: [Dozier 46 years ago] THE HORRORS OF THE WHITE HOUSE: In 1961, my mother was contacted by the school authorities who talked her into assigning me to the Florida School for Boys at Marianna, Florida. She thought it was some kind of summer camp or something. I was taken away to this “reform school” where I remained for 14 months... I never experienced such cruelty, many young boys whom I knew did. This only illustrates the living conditions and fear under which we survived while there… ~Robert Edward Littlefield edlittlefield@hotmail.com 850-535-0556
	06/14/07 Other: please check out myspace.com/willimino or type justice 4 willie jr. Thank you! ~Anonymous
	06/14/07 DJJ Secretary McNeil: dont we as staff have the right to feel safe during work. i dont and most of my fellow staff feel the same way. if we are not safe then what are we supposed to do? do you fear for your safety when you go to work every day? i dont think so. you are going about this the wrong way. oh great just what we need another stuffed shirt. havent we learned from the last secretary that there has to be a differnt approach than the one we seem to take every time a new boss gets hired. ~Anonymous
	06/14/07 DJJ Policy: Recent media accounts (see news clips this site) indicate that (remarkably) DJJ's own audits had discovered numerous instances of very serious threats to the security,safty and health of youth and staff assigned to DJJ facilities... It appears that the practice of falsifying logs,maintaining dirty and moldy living areas, and failing to provide quaility staff exist state-wide. Question: Will the violating providers maintain state contracts... ~Tax Payer II
	06/13/07 Charlie Crist: If they are sincere and honest,in their efforts, the for-profit providers,lobbyists and so-called advocates that plea for additional funding for DJJ facilities should in all cases also condemn of the corrupt practices ,lies and cover-ups that have allowed mold contamination,false rosters/logs, thefts, phoney QA reports,bullying,injuries/assualts and deaths to occur at DJJ facilities across the state. Additional money in the hands of corrupt corporate interests (CSC,G4S,etc) and wasteful officials will do little to correct deficiencies at DJJ. ~Concerned Floridian
	06/13/07 DJJ Secretary McNeil: Unless Brogan's planning group will have authority to recommnend the dismissal of the self-serving bureaucrats and liars at DJJ...forget it! Without competent professional supervision and honest accountability,there can be no credibility. The idea of a select group to advise DJJ has a very familiar ring to it. We've seen that act before. Secretary McNeil, remember your words "the jury is out". Words are cheap...the state awaits action on reform and a cleansing of a corrupt department. ~Tax Payer
	06/12/07 DJJ Policy: Sooner or later a kid or staff will die at Mandala. The place is a pit and no one seems to care. ~ANONYMOUS
	06/11/07 Miami-Dade JDC: Ponder hater's!! Why is it so important for you to write about her... If you have that much time on your hands to pay attention to her business you must don't have any of your own!! There is a old saying" there are 12 months in a year, you have 6 months to attended to yours...and 6 months to mind your own business"... ~Anonymous
	06/11/07 Other DJJ facility: This is in reference to the person that posted on the board for 6/4//07... You say that you are going to quit if things don't get better, you are absolutely right that these kids are dangerous and unruly towards staff, but yet the STATE OF FLORIDA require that staff take what they issue to us and be happy. You're right we chose this job profession however since we are here please make it safe for your employees. Though it doesn't matter to you guys in Tallahassee, be mindful that we are somebody's parents and children. How would it feel to you if someone called your mother and stated that your child has been killed... ~Anonymous
	06/11/07 DJJ Policy: It would be advisable for folks not to allow themselvs to expect much from Brogan and the so-called "commission". This action has all the earmarks of another political dog and pony show. A PR sideshow for media/public consumption may provide short-term cover for the ineptitude and corruption in the Department. Any genuine " blue print" for positive change at DJJ must begin with honest accountability and ethical leadership in key roles. ~Tax Payer
	06/11/07 Other DJJ facility: Mandala yeah everbody loves that place attempted murder charges brought against one of their former fixed clients, reoffending by about 90 percent of their former fixed clients it just doesn't get better than that. when is the qa going to see them for what they r staff is underpaid and undertrained and undereducated. staff kicked a kid so bad his foot was swollen, after release kid was asked why he didn't report it, stated afraid of retribution they do treat squealers real bad in there. get rid of the program director and most of the staff and maybe the place will have a fighting chance, no pun intended. ~Just tryin' to fix it
	06/09/07 Miami-Dade JDC: To those who are nauseated by the conditions and the staffing (including administration) at Dade and other JDCs, blame Pifer and the brass in Tallahassee that allow such ignorant, disgusting, and dangerous situations to exist. Sadly, Dade isn't the only state-funded "whorehouse" operated directly or contracted by DJJ. The amount and frequency of crude,immoral,and illegal events among DJJ personnel and contracted provider staff both on and off duty is a disgrace and an embarrassment to our state. ~Concerned Parent
	06/09/07 Charlie Crist: Governor Crist, You don't need a "commission" or committee to identify what is desperately needed at DJJ. Just review the performance of the incompetent,lazy,doofus,leadership in the regional offices and the secretive manipulators in Tallahassee that have allowed false reporting,cover-ups and faulty programming to continue. DJJ leadership in past years has been motivated only by personal gain and political expediency. Even now many DJJ officials are the same old crooks. Forget the "commission"; just get rid of the bums. ~Seen it All
	06/08/07 DJJ Secretary McNeil: Secretary McNeil, Thank you for requesting a review of DJJ bidding and contracts by the Chief Financial Officer Alex Sink. Apparently you are aware of the long-time presence of bid-rigging and inside deals between DJJ officials and the heavily lobbied corporate contractors (Securicor,YSI,CSC,Premier,FJJA,etc.). Poor oversight and monitoring of contractors by DJJ and wide-scale corrupt practices have been costly in both money and blood. Reform of the fiscal funtions and of program oversight should come before any increases in funding. Don't throw good state money after bad. ~Tax Payer I
	06/08/07 Miami-Dade JDC: If Ponder is all that why can't she get her own man? Delancy has a LADY and a family and has for awhile. And you don't come close to her. You make the good women out here look really bad W**E! Go to EAP ! ~Anonymous*
	06/07/07 Other: To Frank Brogan and the Commission, There does not appear to be a standard of ethics and professional conduct at DJJ? Seriously...the general public would be shocked to learn what low-life type individuals staff DJJ facilities across the state. Improper language, extramarital and/or deviant sexual behavior, poor professional appearence/bearing and work ethics exist at many facilities. Inept,lazy and corrupt DJJ career leadership does little to effectively monitor or correct problem areas until after a crisis occurs. ~Longtime DJJ
	06/07/07 Milton Girls Facility: ...On June 06,2007 i received a phone call telling me my daughter have beat the s*t out of a staff work . I respond whats wrong with my child they said they don't know... Still to this day i don't know what happen to her i just know she were taken down and the Santa Rosa officer inform me she had brusers to her left arm . If we the parents cann't brusers them why should it be alright for them to do it.My daughter wrote me and the girls in the facality a letter informing me that they...blackmail the girls... ~Latasha Dean P.O. Box 147 Cantonment,Fl.32533*
	06/07/07 Miami-Dade JDC: Let's get one thing straight, no one is hating on Ponder, because if she or even you think that what she has (Pretty boy David)is the good stuff you both will soon find out how quick and fast he will throw her under the bus to save his own image. Trust me Ponder you're not the first one who have been sold that bull sht dream. The only thing your fling with Delancy does it shows the lack of integrity and professionalism that exits within Dade's Administration Team. How's the foot healing, what's next? ~Anonymous*
	06/06/07 Other: I also saw Schembri on the Hannity and Colmes show last week. He made a couple inane and rather obvious comments about gangs and families. I think they cut his air time short because of his comical appearence and his lack of significant data. I am now waiting to see Charley Chervanik on the "What's my Line Show". Is he really a cabana boy at the waterfront estates of the Sunshine Boys? Many DJJ facility staff seem to be regulars on the"Springer show". I'd like to see the whole Department appear on "Truth or Consequence". Now that would be a heck of a show. ~TV TRIVIA
	06/06/07 Charlie Crist: DJJ exists in an environonment characterized by secrecy,fear and retribution.Brogan and his "commission" will have difficulty obtaining truthful accounts and honest data related to DJJ operations. It would have been impossible to select a more political inside operator than Frank Brogan to head up a political charade. Lets all hope for the best but keep your eyes open. DJJ is in drastic need of massive turnover and reform. To be effective...the commission must be strong,independent and tough. ~Capital Watcher
	06/05/07 Charlie Crist: I am anxious to see who will be serving on the new DJJ planning commission. A few former inmates would be a wise choice for membership as would some parents and some teachers. There should also be a good representation of floor staff. Let's just hope that the "usual suspects" from FJJA and the other reps of the corporate fat cats and incompetent DJJ officials will not dominate the activity. Most of the old-line DJJ "leadership" types are corrupt beyond redemption and could only contaminate the process with lies,excuses,and selfish concerns. ~Insider
	06/05/07 DJJ Secretary McNeil: Even if the "DJJ Blueprint Commission" is clean and independent,it will be difficult to address the entrenched career bureaucrats that still hold many significant positions in the regional offices and in the DJJ Tallahassee offices. Much efficiency and overall improvement in the Department could be achieved simply by eliminating lazy,dishonest and ineffective individuals. DJJ needs a good enema more than it needs anymore political grandstanding or commissions. ~Tax Payer II
	06/04/07 DJJ Policy: Did anyone ever check out the "satisfactory" and "superior" QA scores that were achieved at the very sites where contamination,assualts, and brutal deaths occurred? Criswell and Davis have enabled hazardous conditions to exsist by failing to aggressively evaluate and report deficit areas. ~Anonymous
	06/04/07 Charlie Crist: ...The proposed "Blueprint Commission" on DJJ issues has the ring of suggestions that have repeatedly been put forth by J4K contributors. An outside group that operates in the sunshine without undo political or financial influence has been a long-standing need. Hopefully we will not see the powerful profit-seeking interest groups (Securicor,CSC,YSI,Premier) and their agents pollute the process. Many feel that the problems at DJJ have been the result of lapses in character and integrity... ~Tax Payer
	06/04/07 Other DJJ facility: I've worked in both detention and residential. They are both are dangrous enviroments... The youth of today are more aggressive and violent. These poor workers are worried about who sleep with who, who cares. You all need to be worrried about your lives... They(the youths) get to call abuse on you and press charges. Police and other law officers carry mace and have more training. We do not have anything but bare hands and keys. Remember these are murders and rapist,that we take care of everyday... I tried talking to the previous secretary... ~another worker bee
	06/04/07 Other: ...djj only attracts what they are willing to pay for. the money at first doesnt seem to bad... but once they see what is involved they soon realize that it is nowhere what they are willing to accept.Djj wants staff that are not going to yell at the kids, not put their hands on them, talk down to them or make them feel uncomfortable... but due to the rules in place their is no discipline or structure whatsoever.as a result these children, when left unsupervised(in a type of way) will feed off of eachother... ~Anonymous
	06/04/07 Charlie Crist: Governor crist, Isn't it obvious to eveyone (everyone that cares) that Pifer has been a total failure at Detention? Seriously , what does it take to get rid of these career,bureaucratic wastrels? DJJ leadership remains the domain of self-serving political shills. Expect more tragadies. Given the leadership in the regions,the lack of adequate oversight and the continuing corruption;even more tragic consequences at DJJ are a certainty. ~INSIDER
	06/04/07 Miami-Dade JDC: The best advice I can give officer Ponder is find your own man. Captain Delancy has been taken for a long time. If his real girl doesn't know about you two she will. And he won't choose you dummy. The both of you will pay for what you are doing. Especially Mr. White shirt. So do yourself a favor and wake up and have some dignity about yourself. Just stop the slutty behavior. We look bad already we don't need another woman with no morals at our center. ~Anonymous
	06/03/07 Miami-Dade JDC: I see you haters or all over ponder. Dont get mad cause she got the good Stuff!! You can't help it, if Delancey got whipped over that hot ass Female. Ponder keep doing you...... ~Anonymous
	06/03/07 DJJ Policy: Dove Academy is far from the worst of the DJJ facilities. One of the ugliest secrets of the Schembri/Bankhead eras is the filthy,moldy,poorly staffed pits DJJ has allowed to operate in this state.Most SPCAs and Humane Societies for animals are better managed and definetely cleaner and safer. Sad to say this problem has not been rectified under McNeil and Crist. An honest and open review of the past practices of foul operators Ramsy/Premier,Securicor/G4S, CSC,YSI,Sunshine,Mandela, many JDCs and others will provide ample evidence of the corruption that has long existed among DJJ and the greedy DJJ profit-seeking contractors... ~Tax Payer
	06/02/07 Other: I couldn't believe my eyes ; there he was on the Hannity and Colmes show(FOX network), none othger than, our dear old "Knishe" Schembri. Introduced as a former police commissioner he spared this state the embarrassment of revealing his Florida connection on national TV. His oft-repeated simplistic statements of the obvious and Buddy Hacket-like speaking style were something less than impressive on the show and he was quickly dismissed by the hosts. Still, the old boy deserves credit for having the balls to show his face in public after presiding over a corrupt and abuse/death plagued DJJ and after being fired from his two previous jobs ( NYC and DJJ). Hang in there "Knishe". ~Fox Fan

	05/31/07 DJJ Secretary McNeil: Mcneil, do us a favor and quit. you are not, and i repeat, you are not the one who can effectively lead us. im sure your a nice person but i have been involved with djj for many years and it is clearly plain to see that you simply do not have what it takes. god bless us unlucky floor staff who will surely pay the price for your upcoming mistakes. as with all djj talk along with the problem they want us to offer a solution so here it is do away with the police like atmosphere in detention centers... if you dont want them to be criminals then dont treat them as such. ~Anonymous
	05/31/07 DJJ Secretary McNeil: ...this charade that is going on in detention centers across the state needs to stop. we are not detention centers. we are out of control, anything goes madhouses. there is no real rehabilitation going on. all we are doing is letting these kids run wild out of fear for our own safety or liability that could cost us more than our sucky jobs. The poor ba***ds that have to work the mods pay the price, sold out by whiteshirts who avoid the floor like the plauge... ashamed to wer the uniform, would turn it in if i could find something else. ~Anonymous*
	05/31/07 DJJ Policy: Question: Is there some institutional reason for the disproportionately high incidence of overt sexual immorality (on and off the job), multiple out of wedlock pregnancies,vulgarity/profanity among DJJ employees and contracted staff? When compared to other areas of state and local government(law enforcement,social services,education,health,etc) DJJ staff appear to be far more likely to present an image reflective of ignorance and poor character. There are some good folk at DJJ but many are the bottom of the barrel. Doesn't DJJ consider character to be an important attribute in those that supervise at-risk youth? ~Concerned Parent
	05/31/07 Secretary McNeil: ...The youth deaths at Bay County and Cypress Creek under her watch demonstrate why Ms.Floyd is "so deserving" of a bonus... Manipulated,inflated,falsified reporting has not affected the receipt of a state bonus by the political DJJ spinners in Tallahassee. I wish they would all get what they really deserve...FIRED!!! ~Tax Payer
	05/30/07 Miami-Dade JDC: As a former ADCS at MDRJDC: Officers be aware of the unethical and corrupt practices deployed by Dobuler and his cronies... Remember back in 2005 when an officer at Dade I was assaulted and severly beaten by a youth...Walt Davis and Dobuler wanted me to write the officer up as being culpable... I REFUSED and was given pink papers a month later. You have a difficult and dangerous job that is compounded by a very inefficient and uncaring administration. Major Solie and i tried to change that but you all know what happened. GOOD LUCK ~Anonymous
	05/30/07 Miami-Dade JDC: Girlfriend? Officer Ponder ain't nothing but a whore. When you have to go to a hotel for sex, that's not a girlfriend. Ponder hurt her foot kicking the wall because Captain Delancy don't want her a** no more. When I see a picture of her in Delancy's office that's when we will call her his girfriend. So let a hoe be a hoe when she has nothing else to be. ~Anonymous
	05/29/07 Miami-Dade JDC: Why are Mods being closed down and combined to increase the number of youth to 30 on the remaining Modules. We are being set up to fail,maybe there be a mass escape again. Remember the escape on July 4,2006.To cut overtime you need more Officers not put the ones you have a risk. ~Anonymous
	05/29/07 Orange JDC: To the 5/18 Orange post: You obviously did not work with Lakeside while they were here or would not be coming such an assinine comment. True, one of the therapist was coo-coo crayz, but they rocked. It is also obnvious that you have never worked with or at Park Place or Devereux, as they ae, and it's dcoumented, the worst there is out there. Lakeside is good at what they do and do not need to come ion this or any site to defend themselves. We that worked with and miss them will always speak on their behalf so, GET A CLUE!!! ~Anonymous
	05/25/07 DJJ Secretary McNeil: It's starting to look like McNeil is just another political hack. Most of the lazy,career parasites are still in place.The same sleazy corporate proiteers are still raking in the state checks while short-changing the public and the youth. The cover-ups and lies continue. A better man would have cleaned house by now. ~Observer
	05/25/07 DJJ Policy: To Anonymous 5/21, You make a valid point. It is the DJJ contract managers,monitors and residential directors that have allowed the conditions in the DJJ contracted facilities to deteriorate. The buddy-buddy relationships between DJJ officials and profit seekers appear to be based on,financial and career interests. Yes, most of the "providers" are smart and ,sadly, many DJJ managers and monitors aren't very bright. ~Anonymous
	05/25/07 Miami-Dade JDC: Boy Dade Detention must be a hell of a place to work. You have all type of unethical inappropriate behavior taking place. Vershawn how did you and Jean (Offc. Pierre) enjoy the Bahamas. David what's wrong with your girlfriend's foot, oh you really thought no one knew about the recent chapter in you and Ponder's saga and the reason her foot is really injured. I guess you all really under estimate some us officers who you all dog out, just be careful it may be coming to bite you real soon. Hey Toni, you didn't really think that you were forgotten... ~Anonymous
	05/23/07 Other: It isn't only in Pinellas-Pasco that the so-called Juvenile Justice Boards and Juvenile Justice Councils are little more than rubber stamps for the wasteful fiscal practices of DJJ. The majority of the membership state-wide of these select groups is made up of all the little piggies... seeking to get a share of the state slop (funding)... Serious and effective oversight of grant expenditures and accountability of project outcomes is essentially non-existent. The legislature was well-intended in setting up these groups but erred in not creating them totally independent of a terribly flawed and corrupt DJJ... ~Tax Payer

	05/22/07 Other: Someone reported that Chervanik was getting paid by one of the DJJ contracted providers these days. So what's new about that? ~Anonymous
	05/21/07 Other DJJ facility: Lets not place blame on the ones who profited from the state. Obviously, they are smarter than us. People should be looking at the contract managers with DJJ (those who agree to the financial/contractual deals with the providers)for explanations of the lack of quality services which the state pays thousands of dollars for. ~Anonymous
	05/19/07 DJJ Secretary McNeil: Secretary McNeil, Please note the recent posting on this site that attacked the parents of youth in DJJ custody (supposedly from a DJJ staffer). This attitude is quite prevalent among DJJ personnel and is indicative of a basis for the continued incidents of abuse,injuries and death that occur behind the walls of secrecy at DJJ facilities. People with predjudices and feelings of superiority have no business in positions of power over incarcerated kids. The cuteness of the message(powder the bottoms)does not conceal the vileness of the sender's mindset. ~"Crybaby Parent" Who Cares
	05/19/07 Polk JDC: From what I see, staff made a big mistake in the incident that happened at Polk. I work the day shift so I wasn't there but heard that one staff left the other there by himself. Now doesn't that sound stupid. The Jdo that got beat up made a foolish mistake. We got to watch our backs and not trust those kids. Why do you think they are there? ~Anonymous
	05/18/07 Other: Is that really true? Is Goodtime Charlie actually being paid by one of the profiteer compamies he formerly shilled for? Incredable ! Which company is paying him off? Sounds like the so-called "Charlie hater" had it right all along. ~Dunedin
	05/18/07 Orange JDC: Lakeside must not have enough crazies on their units to keep them busy if they are still posting on this site literally almost A YEAR later since they lost the contract. I have heard from NUMEROUS employees who used to work for Lakeside, in many different units and capacities, and they all report that it is the worst social service facility to work for in Orlando and the greater area. Get a hobby. ~Anonymous
	05/18/07 Leon JDC: Leon Detention Center are we making up positions now? Watch what you are doing because it wrong. Is headquarters aware of this. Leon Detention Administration Office, making up position can cause you a lot of problems. The position has to be approved first through headquarters. Position must be advertised so everyone may have a chance to apply. Pulling someone from the secure floor without giving others a chance will cause you trouble. "The Watcher" ~Anonymous
	05/18/07 DJJ Policy: Will the Dozier abusers be getting a bonus from the state? What about Criswell and Davis for their "wonderful" oversight at Bay County,Greenville Hills and Cypress Creek? Will Floyd be properly rewarded for the deaths at Cypress creek and Bay County? Will Pifer be rewarded for the "great" management of Orange,Manatee.Pasco and dear old Dade JDCs. Will Eggers get a bonus for whatever she is supposed to be doing? I hope ALL the DJJ careerists that have made the Department what it is today will receive just what they truly deserve ( and it ain't a bonus). ~Let's Get Real
	05/17/07 Riverside Academy: The "Sunshine" boys should spend less time in their beachfront mansions and more time looking after the dirty mess at Riverside. Understaffed shifts, staff sleeping on night shift, dirty smelly latrines,are just a sample of the problems. Come on guys...finish your margaritas and take care of goose that lays those golden tax-payer eggs. Apparently DJJ could care less but the youth in your charge and their parents care a lot. ~Concerned Parent
	05/17/07 Other: waa waa someone please powder these parents bottoms and give them a fresh bottle. that should keep them happy.concerned parents my foot more like whiny little crybabys. keep your kids under control and then you wouldnt have to worry about them in the system. thats what i did. but obviously im a much better parent than you. ~Anonymous
	05/17/07 DJJ Policy: How much is the bonus for Ms. Floyd and the other DJJ officials that shared responsibility for the deaths of Willie and Martin? What about the bonus for "ferret face" Pifer who manages the JDC wastelands (Miami,Orange,Pasco,Manatee, Pinellas,etc).What about the the spinners and fluffers in the DJJ regional and state offices? Bonus money should be forfieted by all that have been part of abuse,and the cover-ups and used to increase the pay of dedicated line staff. ~Insider
	05/17/07 Other: How much is the "knishe" getting for his speechs these days? Maybe he and the "goodtime boy" Chervanik could get up a combo act. Bullsh-t and lies to a calypso karaoke beat would be a hoot. These guys have certainly had enough practice. ~Anonymous
	05/17/07 DJJ Secretary McNeil: I don't think parents or the public are asking for a softer or less strict approach to delingquency from DJJ. What is desperately needed is a more ethical, honest, and professional approach. Just do the right thing and tell the truth;that alone will correct most of the problems. Getting rid of the self-serving bureaucrats and immoral trash would also be a major corrective measure. No one is looking for a mamby-pamby,touchy feely approach to youth corrections. Just an effective system with accountability and consequences for both staff and youth. ~Parent
	05/17/07 Manatee JDC: Mr.McNiel visit Manatee, officers willing to talk about constant falsification by Frank Gargett. The involvement of this man in major incidents but failure to complete incident reports. Manatee involved in major cover-ups. Manatee is a accident waiting to happen. Review tapes and reports you will have many questions and few answers. ~Anonymous [NOTE FROM J4K: Message sent to McNeil, Davis, Pifer; assigned for investigation, IG 07-0400.]
	05/16/07 Other: To The "Charlie" Hater: Charlie doesn't bother with this bulletin board, he never did and I shouldn't either, I'm going to give it up, it doesn't matter what is said anymore. I've got better things to do! It's a shame you don't and are so...bitter. GET A LIFE and learn to spell! I know who you are! ~Anonymous
	05/16/07 DJJ Policy: To Clueless, You ask "is DJJ a criminal justice agency?". Like the Secretary says "the jury is out" on that question. In the recent past DJJ has more closely resembled a criminal enterprise than a crininal justice agency. Conspiracies, cover-ups, sweetheart contracts, manipulated in-house audits/investigations/evaluations,false reports, thefts,abuse,rapes,escapes,slayings, and ever-present fraud. Hopefully reform is neigh and DJJ will become both an agency of criminal justice and family support. For an ethical organization there should be no dichotomy here. ~Tax Payer
	05/16/07 DJJ Secretary McNeil: After reading the recent email from Polk JDC my heart went out to the DJJ staff and to many of the youth that are put a risk by DJJs mismanagement of oprations. Failure to adequately separate hardened criminal gang-bangers from potential victims has created and environment rife with bullying and fear. Failure in many instances to staff facilities with appropriate personnel in adequate numbers has put both youth and staff in harms way... ~DJJ Long-Timer
	05/16/07 Other: Chervanik is working as a consultant for one of the DJJ contract providers. ~Anonymous
	05/16/07 Pinellas JDC: To the person from Polk JDC... The politicians that over-reacted and took away the boot camps made a bad mistake. Many of the youth we see must be controlled before they can be helped. Families often beg for us to help them gain control of their kid before the situation gets out of hand. Weak-kneed diversion and probation efforts only cause the youth to lose respect for authority even more. Most of the so-called prevention measures and therapy are a joke to the kids... ~JJDO
	05/15/07 Orange JDC: I am in touch with the Lakeside staff -- they didn't grieve over leaving ORJDC, believe me.....they laughed at that comment "Gotcha" made ~Anonymous
	05/115/07 Other: I heard that the "goodtime man" Charley Chervanik was working working as a cabanna boy for Jacuzi Jim and Ritchie Rich (Sunshine boys) on the snow white sands of the Pinellas County beach homes of the rich and infamous. They just love his karaoke along with their margaritas. This could be rumor; but based on Goodtime's history with the profit seekers it sounds like a true story. ~Dunedin
	05/15/07 Gus Barreiro: Did the profiteer group (FJJA) ever put Gus Barreiro on as a bag man? He had offered to lobby the Governor in their behalf but I never heard how it turned out. ~Curious
	05/14/07 DJJ Policy: DJJ,what a system! The incomptent and/or corrupt dolts whose failure to oversee the operations of DJJ contracted programs and facilities and JDCs have precipitated contamination,injury, abuse and death are now getting a "bonus" from the state. What a system,indeed! ~Parent
	05/14/07 Other: To 5/12 Anonymous, You're right. The people that continue to rant about Schembri and Chervanik should "get with the times". These dishonored former DJJ officials have done their damage to our state and have been fired and flushed ,at last. The "Knishe" and "Goodtime Charley" should receive no more further consideration than the refuse eliminated by a good laxative. Unfortunetely there remain other undesirable elements at DJJ that should also be purged from the state payroll. ~State Employee
	05/13/07 Other: To Goodtime Charley, Caught your recent phnoney posting on this site. Nice try with the attempt to disguise the true sender of the email(Charley). You can't fool your old pals. We really don't hate ya Charley. You were always a goodtime...especially for the politicos and corporate profiteers. Problem was that while you were supposed to protect the interests of the public and the youth; you were only concerned about your own interests. Good to learn that you have apparently found a new scam . There is always a place for a slick,lying, butt-kissin, karaoke dude, con man. You should do well. ~We Know Ya "Goodtime Man"
	05/13/07 Polk JDC: with great concern about lack of coverage at polk jdc.all you ever here is no over time.so half the time you have to work short handed.you are put in a situation where you have to work with thirty to thirty five boys in a mod with two staff.therefore you wind up having a staff jumped by three kids and severaly beaten and taken to the hospital.this probally could have been avoided with adaqaute coverage.true enough these are kids,but they are committing adult crimes and do not care who they hurt.all the staff that work here have families that they leave at home... ~Anonymous
	05/13/07 DJJ Policy: I'm afraid the observational data provides support for the recent postings related to the extremely high incidence among DJJ staff (and especially) among the contracted program personal of extramarital sexual activity,adulterous activity and perverse sexual activities that occur both on and off DJJ facility grounds. The preponderence of out-of-wedlock births among female staff and the ever-present vulgarity and lax standards of conduct are strong indicators as is the atmosphere of secrecy and concealment that exists at most sites... ~Check it Out
	05/12/07 Orange JDC: To "Gotcha" what planet are you on?!!! You think Lakeside is actually giving ORJDc a sezcond thought? They left here with dignity and have too much inttegrity to spend any time on this site, whic is not very respectable. So, stop playing "detective" and grow up! ~KMS
	05/12/07 Other: Whoever the "Charlie" hater is on here, move on already, he sure has, your postings on here are quite old, get with the times! Too bad if he really screwed you over and he was hardly kicked to the curb, heard he's doing quite well these days! ~Anonymous
	05/11/07 Charlie Crist: This message is for Gov Crist and all the other politicians that has decided that state employees do not deserve a raise this year. Instead they will give us a one time "bonus". Oh yea, and a Public Employee Day that we read about in an email during our regular work day. Everything is going up but our salaries. I don't know about you but I just make ends meet on this salary. "Go somewhere else" you say, I have too many years in to give this job up. Thank you Gov Crist and the rest of you yo-yos. ~Anonymous
	05/10/07 DJJ Policy: Question: Is DJJ a criminal Justice agency? 1) A crime is committed, 2) There is an arrest, 3) They go to secured detention, 4) They go through the justice system (judge), 5) They get sentenced for the crime (adjudicated). Absolutely, Positively DJJ is a Criminal Justice Agency!!! ~Clueless T
	05/10/07 DJJ Secretary McNeil: An enormous problem this agency has is identity! Who are we Family & Services or are we a Criminal Justice Agency? If you asked our leaders in Tallahassee you'll probably get mixed answers. It seems that our new direction is more towards Family & Sevices and I hope this direction works out for the department. However, been there done that with DJJ and it wasn't pretty! I know that the current administration is trying to distance DJJ from Criminal Justice (Law Enforcement/Corrections). Lets make sure that we don't forget about the calliber of youth that were dealing with; in most cases (violent, ruthless, cold, and just don't care about the consequences)!!! ~Clueless T
	05/10/07 DJJ Secretary McNeil: A Guiding Principle that every adult has when working with youth is; To be a positive role-model and mentor by his/her actions! The problem with this is that it is becoming harder and harder to find people of Character who possess these skills. It is even more difficult to find hard working dedicated people who can do this Guiding Principle justice for $8 - $10 an hour!!! ~Clueless Tallahassee
	05/09/07 Orange JDC: Lakeside needs to get over the loss of the DJJ contract and stop planting emails on this site. ~Gotcha
	05/09/07 DJJ Policy: "Insider" is dead right about the work load of the DJJ "muckety-mucks". New Secetary or not ; DJJ is still the softest touch in the capital. Stay on script and don't make waves remain the prime directive at the Department. I would love to see one of the TV stations do an expose of the hair appointments,nail jobs,personal errands and extended lunch times all on state time. Unreported "sick time" and creative calculations of "comp" time are other frequent scams. Check it out. ~Eye Witness
	05/09/07 Cypress Creek: To the Dude from Cypress Creek (Livin on the Creek), Hey man you must be spoiled or something. A little ugliness ain't such a problem. Just count your blessings.

	05/09/07 Miami-Dade JDC: To the Miami-Dade Academic Guru, No matter how you say it,my learned friend,a Ho is a Ho and females that screw around with the trash on the street (and on the job) certainly fit the definetion. The poor little infants produced by such rutting are blameless whether they are "dumb" or not. Why are such irresponsible and immoral people found in such abundance at Dade and other DJJ facilities? Put your intellect to work on that question and give us a break on the grammar lessons. ~Miami Vice
	05/09/07 Miami-Dade JDC: Hey, Hey, Hey, the DJJ whiz-kid returns with another lesson for the unwashed masses . Thanks for the grammar tips and for sharing your obvious brilliance. The point you seemed to miss is that it is an unfortunate situation when wide-scale out of wedlock fornication produces so many poor little "no daddy" babies with promiscuous street-talking mommas. You are right. The kids aren't all "dumb" but the genetics and the familial environment certainly don't bode well. Just take a look at the results of the high rate of such behavior among the staff at many DJJ facilities. ~OBSERVER

	05/08/07 DJJ Secretary McNeil: A recent posting questioned why "Teflon Floyd is able to keep her job after two deaths and numerous abuse cases" in her area of responsibility. Excellent question! Why didn't Floyd and McFadyen both hit the streets with their crooked cohort and leader "Goodtime Charley"? To borrow a term from Secretary McNeil "the jury is out" on the reform of the Department. The presence of so many loosers from previous administrations is not very encouraging. ~DJJ and Anonymous
	05/08/07 Miami-Dade JDC: To Miami-Dade Anonymous, How can Miami-Dade JDC experience a "big fall" when it is already at the bottom of a sewer? The state should close that pit down,fire all the administration and staff,and start over. The people of Dade County and the tax-payers of Florida deserve much better. Political bureraucrats, thieves,whores,and trash are simply too entrenched at that facility and in the detention system as a whole. Secretary McNeil...Do something! ~Cutler Ridge
	05/08/07 Orange JDC: To the 05/14 posting, "Chineult knew what he was doing". Are you on weed or what!!! Lakeside is too good to come in here and post anything on this gossip box.

	05/07/07 Orange JDC: Everyone that is very well aquainted with Greg Chinault knows that he is motivated by only three things; 1) his own personal financial and career welfare over any other considerations, 2) trying to look like a big-shot by any means necessary and 3) covering up his own deficiencies by shifting blame or out right lying. The person that recently stated Chinault "did the right thing" concerning Lakeside obviously dosen't know Chinault very well. He only looks out for himself...ask anyone that really knows him. ~Old Timer
	05/07/07 Miami-Dade JDC: First... you should definately critique yourself before you critique others... Second, to call any child born or unborn "dumb" as you say, is nothing more than low and just plain ignorant... Third, if you do wish to get on the topic of spelling, the correct way this sentence should be stated is, "The second (comma goes here), is you have TOO (not "to") many low life females sleeping and having kids with other (you can omit "other" not grammatically necessary) male staff." ~Anonymous
	05/06/07 Orange JDC: Lonton is a good man. He has done a good job in his past assignments. Orange JDC will be a challenge for him. Chinault,Disney,and Williams have participated in a lot of unprofessional practices and allowed corruption to proliferate for a long time. Ferret-Face Pifer hasn't provided any direction or oversight.Administrative/supervisory favoritism,sexual hijinx,falsification of rosters and incident reports,have become part of the culture at Orange. Good Luck Brother Lonton...You'll need it! ~JJDO
	05/06/07 Miami-Dade JDC: Dade Detention will soon be headed for a BIG, BIG fall. It seems that Mr. Hipp is more concerned with saving money and keeping costs low than the safety and security of his workers and the youth in their custody. Closing down mods, cutting back staff, and combining youth that should otherwise not be together, all in the name of saving overtime will come back to bite him in the ass when the first tragedy due to lack of supervision or the large number of youth to staff ratio happens. Only then it will fall on Dobuler. Detention is not a business - do not run it like one! ~Anonymous
	05/06/07 Other: Is Carolyn Floyd still the DJJ North Regional Director for Residential Facilities?

	05/05/07 Other: I'll bet the "Knishe" Schembri hasn't performed any of his (for pay) twelve thousand dollar speechs since he was fired from DJJ? When his a-s was fired in NYC Jeb bailed him out. What about "Goodtime Charley" Chervanik; did his "for-profit" buddies kick him to the curb when could no longer deliver the state-funded goodies? They sure owed him big-time for all the favors he rendered over the years at the expense of at-risk kids and the tax-payers. There ain't much money in the karaoke business! Sorry Charley... ~Just Wondering
	05/05/07 Miami-Dade JDC: Don Imus was wrong to describe the Rutgers Women's Basketball Team the way he did. He was closer to describing a lot of the staff at Miami-Dade JDC. Just remember, Hos and trashy people come in all colors and genders. Filthy talk,cheatin,screwing around and making little out of wedlock (no daddy)babies is trashy...if the shoe fits, you know what to do. ~Seen it
	05/05/07 DJJ Policy: It is impossible to believe all of the enthusiastic and hopeful words of Walter McNeil about changes at DJJ when we see so many of the same old sorry slugs on the DJJ payroll. Intelligent,capable ,energetic and honest leadership in the key positions in the regions would make a tremendous difference. Replacing the failed leadership of IG,QA, and Dentention is an obvious necessity if the Secretary is serious. ~Tax Payer
	05/05/07 DJJ Policy: If you really want to see how the DJJ muckety-mucks spend our tax dollars just check the work schedule of Eggers,Davis,Eubanks and the rest of those over-paid ,under-worked,sloths in the state DJJ offices. Then get a load of the "good ole Boys (and gals)" in the regional offices. Effective management of the public's interests and the welfare of youth in custody requires both diligence and competence. I'm afraid Florida loses in both categories as far as DJJ is concerned... As for integrity and committment...forget about it!, ~Insider
	05/05/07 DJJ Policy: I see that the family of Martin Anderson will receive millions from the state in compensation for the death of a son in DJJ custody.

What about those that have been abused,raped, and maintained in unhealthy moldy quarters? ~Anonymous Parent

	05/04/07 Miami-Dade JDC: ...you invoked an all-powerful God to show mercy and to assist Miami-Dade staff in overcoming the "trials" before them at Dade JDC. With God all things are possible. What you did not mention was confession and repentance of the many sins that have permiated that corrupt facilility... Repentance must follow forgiveness then comes salvation. If you call on God...mean it!!! ~Cutler Ridge
	05/03/07 Miami-Dade JDC: Dade Detention sure do have problems. The first one is you all don't know how to spell.The second is you have to many low life females sleeping and having kids with other male staff. Think about all the dumb children you are bringing into the world! anonymous ~Anonymous
	05/03/07 Charlie Crist: ...the legislature just approved the 5 million dollar pay-off to the family of Martin Anderson. It angers me that my taxes are being used to compensate for DJJ's lack of adequate oversight of DJJ contracted programs. Most of the injuries,rapes,assaults,contamination and deaths could have been prervented if DJJ had properly monitored and enforced compliance on contracted providers. The problem begins with corrupt and/or incompetent leadership in the regional and state DJJ offices... ~Frustrated Citizen
	05/03/07 Escambia JDC: Appreciation to the "Truth Warriors" at Pasco and Manatee. There have also been problems Leon and E.Hillsborough. It appears the serious problems in the detention centers go far beyond Orange,Dade and Pinellas. Many JDCs are in a shambles. How much longer will "Ferret Face" Pifer and his in-bred,brown-noser administrative organization be tolerated? The JDCs are in desperate need of professional,accountable leadership. ~Dentention Worker
	05/03/07 Miami-Dade JDC: To Miami-Dade (Reality), I was touched by your sweet and humble words of encouragement for the staff at Dade. Your expressed desire for better times to come and improvements was so nice as was your "commending" the Dade staff. You might also have suggested that many of the Dade staff (not all) stop the constant use of ghetto street profanity,screwing around and trying to get laid on work time,back-biting and gossiping,and trying to get out of work. Yes I was touched by your message...touched and nauseated! Just do your job and learn to spell. Stop patting yourself on the back...it ain't pretty. ~True Reality at Dade
	05/03/07 DJJ Policy: Don't expect DJJ to closely monitor or discipline poor practices at Securicor-G4S programs. G4S,like Premier,CSC/YSI and other large-scale profiteers are DJJ favorites; treated with kid gloves.Heavy lobbying,political "contributions"(from corporate execs and associated parties),and links to key DJJ officials have apparently created a protected status for these corrupt profit seekers. Just look at the record of abuse,mold,escapes,sexual events,and questionable finances. Streeter is far from the first pervert on the roster at Securicor. ~Tax Payer
	05/01/07 Manatee JDC: This is an OUTRAGE! Staff receive a yearly review from supervisors that do not supervise them at all. Scores low because supervisors told by Gargett scores given were to high and made supervisors do reviews over not once but twice. Supervisors knew this was an unfair pratice but had to follow the order. Some supervisors say they will tell the true about reviews and others are on his side of the fence. Tallahassee please look into this. The facility is full of complaints. Gargett is as crooked as they come. ~Be Truthful

And remember a Trail is just a test. It's up to us how we pass this test. Remember Miami Just Keep Your Head Up and we shall persevere this madness. And Remember if you don't Stand for Something Your Fall for Anything.And this goes out even to the least important people yes thank you Supervisors!!! ~Reality

04/30/07 DJJ Policy: Unfortunetly there have been so many lazy,incompetent and dishonest slugs in administrative roles with DJJ in recent years; it is only natural for
