AS THE JAIL CHURNS PART II

A small update as to Chief Investigator William Hardin. As you may recall Mr. Hardin was banned from the building of WCDC and his office padlocked. Mr. Hardin has since met with Director Devenyns. After the meeting let it be known that not Mr Hardin smiling, but in the words of one observer,he was skipping to his car. The padlock has since been removed from the office door. Who should be charged with destruction of county property?

Another little tidbit. This past Tuesday a fight broke out on the US Marshall housing unit. Officers responded to breakup the fight. The unit was ordered to lock down in their cells. Guess
what happened next. You guessed it, they refused. After about ten minutes order was restored and the participants of the fight were removed. Now do not get me wrong, this does happen in jails all over the country and most of the time with more injuries than occur in our fine jail. Captain Foreman ordered for the housing unit to remain on lockdown for a week because of their failure to follow orders and lock into their cells. This is also normal procedure. What is not normal was what happened the next day. Col. Kimble along with Capt. Foreman went to the above mentioned unit to talk with the inmates. After listening to their complaints, he let them off lock down. This is a man who has many years as an administrator in corrections at the county and state level. He has undermined the authority of his command staff and every officer at WCDC. He has shown that he is taking the word of the inmates over officers even though he will say that he never does this. The next time that officers have a problem do you think the inmates are going to listen since little if any disciplinary action will be taken?

If the Administration of WCDC would like to respond to these allegations, please do so. I may not have all the facts perfectly correct and would be glad tosee them correct any mistakes that have been made.

This is Kimble through and through. He did this in the State system every day. The only respect he received was from the inmates because he always gave them what they wanted and his fellow druggie officers. He never had any respect from the Staff that tried to do their jobs. Another thing, keep looking and listening and you will see his racist side and his harassment tactics start to show. The female officers better be on gaurd for his sexual advancements and blackmail tactics. He will destroy and degrade WCDC's leadership and workforce every day he works there. His objective has always been and will continue to be inmates never lie or do anything wrong. The Staff is always the problem with the exception of his little click. These facts are and has always been his MO From Jessup to ECI. I worked under him and know what I am saying.
