This is what you get when you're 100% in Compliance. The Department of Corrections did just that recently and was awarded by the State of Maryland through the County Council. Now THAT'S ACCOUNTABILITY.

THAT AWARD IS STRICTLY FOR THE SAFETYOF THE COMMUNITY AND THE WELFARE OF THE INMATES. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HOW HE TREATS HIS STAFF. FOR INSTANT LET ONE OF HIS STAFF BRING UP THE IDEA OF FORMING A UNION AND/OR BARGINNNING AGENT FOT HIS OFFICERS.HIS TRUE COLORS WILL SHOW.
ReplyDeleteThis stunt is nothing but a feel good measure to make someone look good.
ReplyDeleteThis guy is an idiot and needs to go. He has had so many lawsuits brought against him and the county that th tax payers will never recover. He has been protected by the 7 dwarfs and the no the 800 lb. gorilla.
How soon we forget. I guess everyone has forgotten the young genlteman that committed suicide under his watch. This suicide was left unattended for over 5 hours and everyone tried to cover it up. During the police investigation Devenyns tried to run the sheriff's office out of the building saying the detention center had an agreement to handle their own investigations. Thank God Sheriff Nelms had enough balls to tell this guy to shove it. The council members didn't have the guts to take care of this problem. Ask all the employees of the WCDC about them. Several people were fired over this coverup but that will never bring this young man back to his family.
There have been numerous other deaths under his watch and other crimes as well. BIG COVER UP!!
Douglas C. Devenyns needs to go and if the 7 dwarfs can't handle this maybe the voters can. Ricky Pollitt do your job, you have been in office long enough to clean this mess up. Do what we the voters put you in the office to do.
A VERY close look is required when dealing with 3D (Director Doug Devenyns). Just who is this guy, anyway? He claims years of experience in the Navy, but no one has yet witnessed any Military knowledge out of him. Take a good look at the way he is standing in the photo offered to get here. There's no Military pride or training in him. Was he really in the Military, or could it be 3D isn't who he claims to be?
ReplyDeleteOne of his first actions upon assuming control of WCDC was to throw out all the "books", the rules and regulations, the descriptions of how jobs are to be accomplished while on duty. These have yet to be replaced with anything - except when someone from the Standards or DoJ demand to see one, and then it sort of magically appears out of thin air. Of course, the moment Standards or DoJ leaves, so does that bit of paper, never to be seen until requested by someone else.
Since his appointment as Director of WCDC, inmates have committed suicide and not been found for HOURS, have managed to get cell phones and cell phone batteries into the facility so that they can conduct drug deals or threaten potential witnesses. They conceal their actions behind blankets hung like curtains, and routinely use officers to get contraband smuggled in. Officers have affairs with inmates, which used to be against the rules, but since those rules are gone, there's nothing to stop the practice now. Those who get caught doing wrong wait for months to see whether they'll be punished or not, and most often nothing happens to them. To say that morale is low is a gross understatement. Officers are leaving WCDC in droves. The number of experienced officers is shrinking to an alarming rate, and many of the new officers are so afraid of the inmates that they don't even show up to an ASAP (inmate brawl) to back up their fellow officers.
DDD has never stood a post in a jail and knows almost nothing about security, leadership or support of his staff, yet he has charge of a jail. Who's brilliant idea was this? His ignorance is glaring and, if allowed to continue, will get some officer killed, if not more than one. He's already had one escape, which Dopy and the Seven Dwarves did nothing about. How long before there is a mass break out of U.S.Marshall inmates? The tax payers of Wicomico and the residents of all three states are not safe while Director Doug Devenyns is in charge of the jail.
Haha, you people are pathetic. Sounds like ex-employees who have gotten fired for something they did, and are holding a grudge against Devenyns. The problems which come up can't be placed solely on Devenyns, its a team effort. Lawsuits abound when dealing with jails. The people in them are criminals, and they like to cause problems and so do their families. You people need to get a clue and stop bashing people when the award is good for the community. Hahaha. The problem is the ignorance of the correctional officers there.. They are glorified babysitters and are as crooked as the inmates they guard a lot of the times. These people have no skills, no marketable abilities, and do this because they can't do anything else. If they had more money to pay for better staff, a lot of these problems would subside. Haha, this is so idiotic, you people need to get a clue.
