State Hearings - A Dog And Pony Show?

HEADLINE:

"STATE SENATOR WANTS HEARING ON CALIF. PRISON GUARD'S SLAYING"

KLICK ME HARD!

Will this be more "SPIN" designed to blame CCPOA, while exonerating the Agency and agents that Gloria Romero oversees?

An agency and agents that consistently fail in their mission?

An agency for which Ms. Romero has become little more than a cheerleader?


"Rod, Rod, he's our man - If he can't do it no one can!"

Politics being what they are, we should ALL be VERY skeptical that these will be TRUE fact finding sessions and not a repeat of January's debacle which turned out to be little more than an ambush for the "Powerful Prison Guard's Union".

Ms. Romero, the employees at the California Institution For Men need REAL ANSWERS, NOT MORE OF YOUR, SELF-SERVING, SPIN! Don't you think they deserve that?

In other words Ms. Romero, please keep it real and don't pander to the press at the expense of a fallen hero.

Contact Gloria Romero's office, with any comments you may have, by clicking here!

Involuntary Manslaughter.

Wednesday, January 12, 2005

Involuntary Manslaughter

California Penal Code

§192. Manslaughter is the unlawful killing of a human being without
malice. It is of three kinds:
     (a) Voluntary--upon a sudden quarrel or heat of passion.
     (b) Involuntary--in the commission of an unlawful act, not amounting to felony; or in the commission of a lawful act which might produce death, in an unlawful manner, or without due caution and circumspection. This subdivision shall not apply to acts committed
in the driving of a vehicle.
     (c) Vehicular

A theory for the reader's consideration:

An examination of §192 (b), Manslaughter - Involuntary.

As we know by now, through press reports and statements of CCPOA and/or State officials, the California Institution For Men's decision to withhold the, approximately, 600 stab-proof vests was a conscious decision and, in an attempt to expedite the distribution process, officials at the Chino Chapter of CCPOA, reportedly, had filed a grievance relevant to the vest distribution, thereby keeping the distribution of the vests within the attention of Prison Management. Prison Management was cognizant of their failure to distribute these vests.

The failure to distribute the vests, under these conditions, vests which were unquestionably possessed and controlled by the Prison Management, cannot be reasonably viewed as an oversight or omission. Therefore, reason dictates that the failure to distribute was, clearly, an act of commission.

Since there was no crime being committed in the mere failure to distribute the life-saving vests, the commission of the withholding of the vests then becomes "the commission of a lawful act".

The Bargaining Unit 6 Memorandum Of Understanding is a clear statement of both the State of California and CCPOA that Stab-Proof Vests are a critical piece of Safety Equipment. Safety equipment that needs to be issued immediately upon receipt¹. The very nature of stab-proof vests is for the protection from stabbing wounds to the chest and abdominal areas of the body, wounds of the type that the Medical Examiner's report may well show, led to the death of Officer Gonzales.

Therefore, the death through the murder of an unprotected Correctional Officer would, reasonably, be a foreseeable event that, in the intentional absence of the issuance of available stab-proof vests, constitutes a lack of "due caution and circumspection" by those who failed to issue the vests - one or more administrators or managers at the California Institution For Men.

It appears to me that the elements of the crime of Involuntary Manslaughter, committed by one or more agents of the California Institution For Men, are present, and this crime should be investigated and prosecuted by a statutory authority. Since administrators hide behind each other's apron strings, a credible investigation into this crime, for the identification and prosecution of the appropriate perpetrators, is mandatory.

It has been my experience that asking the Office of the San Bernardino County District Attorney to conduct any investigation at all involving State officials is useless².

If you agree with me, contact the Attorney General through the web link provided below:

Tribute To A Fallen Officer.

Monday, January 10, 2005 a tragedy occurred.

A fine Correctional Officer's life came to a violent end at the hands of three East Coast Crips, an end which was avoidable.

He was a Correctional Officer, a father of five and a friend to all who knew him. He was Manuel A. Gonzalez Jr., a 16 year veteran of the California Department Of Corrections.

Officer Gonzales was stabbed to death while handing out sack lunches to the inmate population within the maximum security facility at the California Institution For Men known as the Reception Center Central. According to news reports, Officer Gonzales was not wearing one of the approximately 600 stab-proof vests that were languishing within the prison armory awaiting a delayed distribution to the Officers. A delay that violated CCPOA's labor contract with the State. A delay occasioned by Institutional officials who, according to CCPOA Chino Chapter insiders, inexplicably cut the 1200 vest order in half of the number required to outfit the total number of Officers at the California Institution For Men.

According to union insiders, the Administration at the California Institution For Men is holding up distribution of the vests to Officers working General Population until after the "Post and Bid" reconciliation procedure has been accomplished sometime this year - little comfort to the family of Officer Gonzales. However, there is a question among many Correctional Officers I spoke with as to whether or not the reduction of the 2004 order was merely a ploy to extend the expenditure over two budgetary years, with the remaining half ordered and paid for in 2005.

This, then, raises another question: "Where did the money for the additional vests go in 2004?"

It certainly was not utilized to fix the outside cell windows which are falling out of the walls at the Reception Center East Facility of CIM. Windows that one inmate exited through last week on his way to freedom!

A grievance is reportedly on file which seeks to establish policy and procedure enabling the release of available vests held hostage by the California Institution For Men. Vests which could have prevented or minimized the fatal wounds incurred by Officer Gonzales.

For all of those in Sacramento and the press who fantasize about inmates being "clients", "stakeholders" and "kids", let this be your reality check as to the true nature of the populations that Bargaining Unit 6 members serve.

For all of those in Sacramento and the press who fantasize about agency and institutional managers and administrators being competent and capable, think again!
