Three employees from Regional Mid Atlantic office recently visited Alderson and spoke with the Adults In Custody. The focus of a Town Hall Meeting facilitated by a Regional employee was to provide clarification about the FSA process. The meeting only caused confusion and appeared biased. The Regional employees agreed with Alderson employees stating, “WE will only give 1-90 days of half way house placement and would not stack”.
I finally understood why the employees used the term, “WE”.
Mrs. Evans (one of Regional employees) expressed she worked for Alderson a number of years during her visit. The Adults In Custody were disappointed to learn the agency that should mediate our concerns, has a “CLOSE” relationship with Alderson employees and probably why many of our administrative remedies are denied. Regional employees support Alderson’s policies.
There have been rumors the Warden plans to depart later this year however nothing has been confirmed. The Assistant Warden is no longer at Alderson and last week, the Adults In Custody was greeted during Mainline by Mrs. Evans who stated she is NOW our acting Assistant Warden.
Example:
This feels like being on trial and my attorney is representing me one week, and the following week I find my attorney sitting with the Prosecutor trying my case.
How is this possible? Does anyone see this as a Conflict of Interest?
Thank you for listening.
