Devenyns Resigns As Corrections Chief

Doug Devenyns has resigned as head of the Wicomico County Department of Corrections.  His resignation takes effect November 6, 2009.

While a press release put out by the office of Wicomico County Executive Rick Pollitt heaps praise on Devenyns and his service to the county, the DOC has also been embroiled in numerous lawsuits during Devenyns’s tenure.  Included in these is a suit filed by Devenyns against Salisbury News publisher Joe Albero.

It's to bad the he (Devenyns) was allowed to resign, Pollitt should have fired him years ago.

Huh? Pollitt has only been in office for a little over 2 years???

Don't get me wrong, I agree with the rest of your statement? The County Council should have fired the bum.

U gotta be an officer.
That was funny!

How about this one.

You may think he's Wilfred Brimley, But he's not, He's Reeesigned.

Back to being serious.
Pollitt I hope you read these.
Since Col. Young and his bad choices are no longer in the picture, you don't have any reason not to choose between the 2 Maj,'s. They have done this job for decades unlike your last choice. Get it right this time.

At least hes gone now.

5:45, I do believe two years qualifies as years. I agree with you also that the council shouldn't get a pass on this, they should have fired him many years (more than two) ago.

Tom Sawyer,
You really need to mind your own business. That would not be good for the institution.

It is about time he is gone. The question now is who will take his place?????

Rev. James Bailey said...

This man is no gentleman, has no morals lies and mistreats staff and inmates. Good, I'm glad someone had the guts to get rid of a scumbag.

Anonymous said...

Who should replace him? Ernie Leatherbury would be a great choice to take over

Enough said.

I cant tell the inmates from the C/Os most of the time.

Random drug test. C/O/ having affairs w/ inmates.

Smuggling crap into he jail.

Rick give it to the Sheriff. He will pick who runs the joint and will clean it up.

They need to take a hard long look at the guy who was head of the Work Release Center at the Airport. I believe his name was Lt. Binum....WOW that guy was on the ball.....and ran a tigh tight ship......Great guy fair...

How about Jim Henderson from Somerset County for Warden. It has been said that he has a lot of experience controlling inmates. Just order more tazers and brass knuckles and he will shape up thoes naughty inmates pronto. He would also have a "good working relationship with Davis Ruark" just like he did Kristy Hickman.
