The following is an e-mail I wrote to the FBI:
__________________________________________________
Why aren’t you doing something about this including federalizing Cook County Jail and arresting their administrators? The following was copied from a commercial web site which is offered so that people can ask questions about Cook County Jail and get answers. The Sheriff staff in general refuses to answer most questions for inmates’ family members. Their web site is inadequate and they don’t answer their phones. When visiting the officers are often extremely rude and mislead rather than answer questions.
The US Atty published a 98 page report about the jail documenting aggravated battery, murder, medical neglect, etc., BY THE GUARDS against the inmates, yet you and the US Atty have arrested NO ONE and there have been NO INDICTMENTS!! This is like investigating a gang and then telling them – “Oh Well, you murder, run prostitution and drug operations and we think you can do better. Come back to us in a couple years with a plan to correct this.” CCDOC is no different than a gang. You are NOT doing your job. This 98 page report is a joke without the indictments and arrests to go with it. It is worse than no investigation – because now you are aiding and abetting, actually encouraging this behavior by discovering it and doing NOTHING!! I am disgusted.
The following is copied exactly as it appears on this web site is - cookcountyjail.com :

At the jail we have a saying. If youre not disgruntle you havent worked here a year yet. Many days you wonder who likes and/or hates you more the administration or the inmates. Its a system of micromanagement promoted by who they know not what they know.

During my time there ive seen promotions, transfers and/or days off given to those with political ties, women that used sex for what they want as well as getting supervisors food. In the mean time others are denied due to not being in those groups.

How does a supervisor deny extending the calendar for an officer with time accrued that wants to be with a terminally ill parent out of state that did die that week but extend the calendar for 2 officers for picking up their food.

When Dart became Sheriff we thought he would put an end to it, but instead it has took off like a wild fire. He doesnt step foot in divisions hardly ever and when he does he wont talk to us. He hides out and lets the incompentant run the cluster f**k.

When we complain we get the speech from supervisors of how long theyve been there which doesnt matter if you dont know your job or how to supervise. We also get what they believe are bad assignments or harrassed with bogus write ups that we easily beat.

How does time working for the chicago school district as a janitor count towards seniority and retirement while time in the millitary or on a police/fire department does not? Why are female officers wearing skin tight uniform pants?

With divisions being mixed classifications now (min, med, max) why is it ok for a male officer to work a max male tier while female officers that wanted the job and get paid same not assigned those tiers. Is it ok for me to be hit or stabbed cuz im male?

How many assistant directors does a jail need? Its like a clown car. Maybe if I was related to Director Kurtovich I would have gotten a plain clothes desk job in their office like Ofc Campbell right after academy.

Why does a chief get paid $70,000 plus and a superintendent $100,000 plus in every division to do the exact same job. Why do captains n 2 lieutenants per division/shift get paid to sit in office together? No wonder cook county doesnt have money.

There needs to be a careful evaluation and analysis of the duties of each employee, the skills needed for the job, and the number of people needed to perform each task. Then the entire administration should be rearranged to fit that model of efficiency and necessity. This is called industrial hygiene. Peraica has it right. We need to get rid of dead wood.

Very true Linda. However even though a federal judge has ordered the sheriff dept to hire more officers to meet the illinois jail standard of 1 officer per 15 inmates and are fined for being short they do not. Yet they find more room/money for directors.

Directors like godinez come up with ideas to move pysch/medical inmates to div 2 (originally min security) and div 10 (originally max security). Since hes been in charge changes have made no since. There is a reason his contract wasnt renewed else where

Director Godinez is the same one that while 350 inmates had riot on div 1 rec yard with 10 officers out there wouldnt allow responding officers to go out to yard to stop fighting which turned into attacking the 10 officers out there already.
