Correctional officers are demanding justice outside the Baltimore Central Booking and Intake Center, claiming the state is withholding weeks of overtime and pay.
“Car payments, rent to pay, I have children I take care of… It’s putting me in a hardship because my bills are being late,” said Towanda Kearney, former correctional officer.
Dozens of state employees are upset, feeling they have been cheated out of their hard-earned paychecks. Some are missing 50 to 60 hours.

Half of them belong on the other side.
If they don't like the working conditions can't they go to work somewhere else? Are they being held in servitude at this job?
If you weren't getting your whole paycheck I bet you would talking to your boss easy to say when it's not you that's not getting your whole check to pay your bills. You must be living off of the government and get your FREE money every month. I bet if it was late you would be out there protesting that you can't put food on the table.
Damn, don't like any of them missed any meals!!!!!!
Inmates like BIG GIRLS
That's not right. The state should pay what they're due in a timely manner.
Do away with overtime. Salary based jobs. End this crap and waste of money.
I've been with DOC for over 19 years. Never had a problem with my pay until 6 weeks ago when the state rolled out a new system called Workday. This system does not and will not work right with a 24/7 system. When I work overtime I expect my pay for it when due, not 6 weeks later. I don't think anyone else would argue. As far as a salary the supervisor's are on a salary. As for the comment about working conditions, come to work with me for a week, bet you wouldn't last 2 days.
