Our head pshrink lady cringes every time I open my mouth.<BR/>Our prison, amazingly enough, was built from the site of the old state mental hospital. So some of our buildings are only about 25 years old, but some of them are more than 100! I think the oldest building still standing on our camp was built in 1908. And the newer buildings have more problems than the older ones. Imagine that!JustRexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00389126268262607714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4046693734392810795.post-41300123945709345192009-01-24T10:08:00.000-06:002009-01-24T10:08:00.000-06:00It lifts my heart to hear that state "improvements...It lifts my heart to hear that state "improvements" are actually improvements. The state prison I work in was built less than 10 years ago by a private company from a southern state to said southern state's requirements. This month, it was at least MINUS 25 degrees here up north and I doubt any southern engineer had the Kelvin scale in mind when he was picking out building materials. As a result, a relatively new prison has significant ventilation, sewer/water plumbing, foundation, and [insert anything here] problems. <BR/><BR/>It was clear relatively soon that the whole thing was a cluster f#$@ so now years later the state was forced to give a bunch of millions of dollars to fix the problems and I think the redecorating project was definately a success. <BR/><BR/>On each housing unit there are multiple wings. On each wing there are two lower and two upper tiers and as it follows, two staircases connecting those tiers. I must say that it IS better now that one of those staircases [on each wing, on each housing unit] has....wait for it... been moved.....wait for it...4 feet to the left. <BR/><BR/>I think my Pshrink abilities are wasted on the inmates. Perhaps I would be of more use providing service to administration....But whatever, I get paid the same crappy wage.icypuphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04951480117569599736noreply@blogger.com
