Cal Coast News — Of the 545 layoff warning notices the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation sent out last week, only seven went to employees of the California Men’s Colony in San Luis Obispo.
As part of a state prison realignment that is slated to reduce the prison population by 33,000 within two years by moving some offenders to county jails, staff numbers are also slated to decline. Throughout the state prison system, there are now 14,000 fewer inmates than there were six months ago.
Even so, at the California Men’s Colony the prisoner population has remained consistent at approximately 5,686 inmates. Plans are in the works to decrease the population by 500 inmates before the end of the fiscal year, said Dean Spears, public information officer at CMC.
“California prisons have some 14,000 fewer inmates today than four months ago at the beginning of the public safety realignment,” Spears said. “Consequently, staffing needs have also fallen. As the inmate population decreases at CMC, so will the staffing needs of our institution.”
Currently, there are 912 people employed at CMC. Another round of layoffs is scheduled for the fall.
And who was it that agreed to Statewide layoff, by County? Oh I remember MJ, and you all voted for him!!!
ReplyDeletewhy is it as a pico, if i'm not fully protected by the union; well nobody is at this time but why are my dues still the SAME?
ReplyDeleteLayoffs @ CIM 34 COs, CIW 17 COs, is it 7 COs @ CMC? DVI had a chunk too, second most. This next round of layoffs will likely be due to Parole Agents returning to Pens. If you're safe in Wave One, not likely to be in Wave Two????? This is a complete joke. Get ready for the lawsuit$!!! Diemert
