The Rise & Fall of
Corrections inside Arizona
By Carl R. ToersBijns, former deputy warden, ASPC
Eyman Complex, Florence AZ
The primary cause of the failing adult prison system in Arizona will not be the internal weaknesses or even a break away from the agency’s mission or goals and objectives. Rather, it will be the deliberate deterioration of the masses under control [correctional officers and other public employees] that will cause it to plummet into catastrophic conditions while failing all public safety expectations.
Although it is with most certainty this will be clouded by biased arguments by those in power insisting in 20th Century sensibilities and rationalizing it was the weakness of the systems that caused the failures and not human as it is proposed in these writings, the fact remains it was deliberate sabotage from the inside that caused the failure by design.
Corrections ability to meet public safety and mission statements are being negatively influenced for the worse and not the better plans or policies by those hired by the chief executive officer in charge. It is with high expectations this CEO works for the chief executive officer for the state and is paid according to his ability to wreak havoc and convert public [state] interest into private [CCA, GEO, MTC, etc] interests throughout the state.
The agency’s ability to withstand numerous failures without severe repercussions from those in power makes it easier to manipulate and destroy the agency from within and over time fragment all areas and services to the point of inefficiency and total chaos making it easier for the CEO to justify the means used to quell the disorder and use pre-determined final fiscal and economical resolutions already on the bargaining table.
Thus the ability to survive systemic malfunctions e.g. escapes, attempted escapes, disturbances, racial or hate crimes, deaths, suicides, assaults, delayed medical treatment, insufficient mental health services, excessive litigation and lawsuits etc. allows them to organize positive influence among those working in concert [chain of command] with the CEO and create a false confidence within the agency and generate instability to maintain strong unfair discipline, impact and lower staff morale, and deny capable leadership ultimately fragmenting the spirit and strength of the troops [correctional officers] working on two front lines of this confrontation [combat] with politics and prisoners.
In fact, it would be the unofficial co-sponsored adverse acts of these prisoners that would contribute to the overall success in decimating the agency’s effectiveness and gain trust from the powers to be in office, to convert public trust and ownership into contractual obligations to take over a failing and faltering ship to the private prison business for salvation and redemption of all concerned and involved in this matter.
Consequently it is logical to deduct that the acts of these prisoners who have been mistreated with “deliberate indifference” based on design will create mass undesirable and most violent and repulsive acts that were allowed to be well planned and organized by those considered being “reasonable partners of these designated covert allies.”
This is done in a quest for total loss of control and repugnant accountability of internal strife and eventual systems failures throughout the state warranting a new lease on life with long-term contractual obligations with friendly allies [private prison contractors] in the end and replacing state employees with private security guards and prison grounds kept and managed by private security contractors and associated vendors.
This is the final quest for such a plan in Arizona prisons. A more detailed paper will be written on this topic and all strategies, motives, actions and outcome expectations will be recorded as a matter of record in some time in the future as we put together this grand scheme to defraud Arizona and its public employees of their inherited future to be successful in public safety and maintain their full time employment status as public servants with according wages, benefits and opportunities.
We will identify those in a position to collaborate with the CEO in this strategic plan to turn public prisons into privately controlled prisons as well as all the services associated with such a venture making investors, stockholders and stock takers richer and stronger in political terms.
