12-23-2006 Overtime gives prison guards fat salary

About 6,000 California corrections officers earned more than $100,000 in the last fiscal year thanks to overtime work in the strained prison system, and one brought in more than a quarter of a million.

The biggest payout to a corrections officer for the fiscal year that ended in June was $252,570, which went to a lieutenant.

That's more than the salaries of the corrections chief, who makes $225,000, and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who declined what would be a $206,500 paycheck this year.

:laugh: That's not even half of what those guards take home. The California prison system is a golden gravy train for prison guards. They are also the strongest union in the state. Go figure...

... and yes, the Lt. is absolutely a guard.

I really hope that you are not somehow laying blame on the corrections officers for working overtime and making that much money.


Edit - Your title is tad bit misleading "guards make $250,000 a year", but somehow you are allowed to get away with anything around here :roll:

Dave's allowed to make sweeping distortions of reality... the mods keep him around because everyone gets a good laugh out of his childish antics. He's like the retarded kid on the playground. :laugh:

They are getting the money from working overtime. They are obviously working a hell of a lot of hours to make that kind of money. I seriously doubt that "thats not even half of what those guards take home". Correction officers, Police officers, and most others in law enforcement get paid very little for the job that they do.

I enjoyed JD50's post thanking me for informing him of some of the US terrorism he was unaware of. Oh, wait.

He crosses a line from uninformed to evildoer when he is led to the water of the truth of the evil in policies his nation does and he turns away. That's willful wrongdoing.

He's clearly not interested in any honest discussion or the truth.

I wonder how these right-wing supporters for capital punishment would like the principle to be applied to this nation for things like Viet Nam. I want accountability for wrongdoing, whether it's someone killing a child in America, or voting for killing a child overseas by our military unnecessarily. Both deserve punishment and for other innocents to be protected.

Unfortunately, might makes right for these people, and the arrogance of power leaves them free to jack off to the sound of our bombs showing our 'strength' without any international police force to knock on their door and haul them out. These foolish ideologues corrupt the US, poisoning it into a nation of killers blinded by the fact it's too widespread to notice.

We can use greater awareness of the effects of our actions, to help these people get past the lies they've fallen for to dehumanize the targets of our violence for our own benefit. It's ironic - the greater violence we do, the greater the need for the ideologues to demonize the victims, because the alternative is to face his own wrongdoing.

So they MUST HAVE DESERVED IT and DON'T YOU DARE ASK ANY QUESTIONS which might make them face uncomfortable truths.

Edit - You called me an "evildoer", lol, you are a moron. Why do you hijack every thread with your blame America crap? Grow up Craig, calling someone that disagrees with you evil and unimformed is kind of childish.
