Prison industrial complex secrecy at work earns an important spotlight from a local lawmaker . . . Take a look:
Missouri Representative voices concerns after Crossroads visit
A Missouri representative shared his frustration Thursday after visiting Crossroads Correctional Center in Cameron, Missouri. A press release from Rep. Brandon Ellington said he was denied access at the prison, which has been on lockdown since May.
Another grandstanding political stunt by Brandon.
ReplyDeleteMaybe he was a former inmate. They do not allow them to visit.
ReplyDeleteHe has no right to inspect anything, he’s a low level nobody, go do your job brandy and get my coffee for me bitch!
ReplyDeleteWhat was there a real agenda to his visit?
ReplyDeleteHe had notice the meet was postponed until he followed what appears may have been certain safety and security issues.
He was allowed to visit he just couldn't have the meeting he wanted to have.
So once again Ellington is playing a game here and not telling the whole truth. Not like he hasn't played this same game more than once before.
^^^I don't know. Did you ask him? No? Why not? You're on here boring the shit out of everybody else. Do your work first.
ReplyDeleteBrandon Ellington, go back and ask again to be let in. Tell them you are a member of the Missouri State government. I hear that they have a list and your name is on it for free three hots and a cot.
ReplyDeleteLaw appears to be on his side. "The following persons shall be authorized to visit the correctional centers of the state at any time: all authorized employees of the department, the governor, lieutenant governor, members of the general assembly . . ." RsMO. 217.265.
ReplyDeleteDude is show boating and grandstanding, but the law is certainly on his side. I would take a print out of that statute and demand access. There doesn't appear to be any accounting for security and safety measures unless you fall under subsection 3 and are a member of the clergy.
ReplyDeleteYou idiots he wasn't denied anything. He just wasn't allowed to have the group meetings with the inmates he wanted. 217.265 makes no mention of any rights to hold an assembly of their choosing once inside the facilities. So Brandon Ellington is simply trying to twist facts around and stir up bullshit that isn't there. A visit does not mean you have cartblache to run around giving orders on how things should be.
