Oh No! Prisoners Working?
- After a dozen days of snow hit Chicago and temperatures began their swift descent to below zero, a photo of inmates shoveling snow outside Cook County Jail with what the poster said was “no real winter gear” went viral.
Now, the sheriff’s office is trying to clean up the backlash — and set the record straight — and activists are pushing for greater awareness of challenges faced by incarcerated people during dangerous weather.
And like a giant pussy, Dart's is making excuses and apologizing for Cook County taxpayers getting something slightly tangible for their exorbitant taxes. Too bad it isn't a chain gang.
How about Dart make this completely by request for non-violent offenders? They sign a piece of paper attesting to volunteering for the shoveling detail and in return, Dart can knock a day off of their sentence - one day work for one day credit. They can do bus stops, train stations, public sidewalks, retirement homes, CHA buildings, etc.

Ummmmmm, what about the people that do SWAP and pick up garbage to pay for their traffic fines? How is this any different?
"heating issues Sunday night with the temperature dropping to 66 degrees"
Nadine Ashford, 68, of Ford Heights, said she went to the jail Sunday to visit a family member and was struck by how cold it was, "Whoever’s in charge of the heat could be more humane about it.”
While they were complaining about 66 degrees, my heat sent an alert to me that my "emergency temp" was reached at 0700 when it got below 40 in my living room. How can people suck off the government teat their entire life and have the attitude that 66 degrees is "inhumane"
Dart will smoke an officer should an officer dare tell a shithead to shut the fuck up! What makes you think an inmate will do a menial task of shoveling snow? If anything Dart will make an officer shovel snow and place mints underneath a mattress of an urban terrorist!
How about they do it without reducing even a minute of their sentence, because they are actually allowed out of their cages for a while if they volunteer for these duties.
Im all for making them pull their own weight to fund their own incarceration but day of work for day off their sentence is WAAAY to genberous.
They can also send them out to clean all the shithouses at the cook county forest preserves in the summer months. Good character building.
"Oh Poor Me" I have to work? What the fuck do they think prison is..a Club Med? Most of these assholes would rather sit in prison than work. They have it made in prison.
American Law Enforcement today is under a microscope like never before, and this story is an example. I SAW THE PHOTOS OF THIS, IN THE LONDON DAILY MAIL, THREE DAYS AGO! A EUROPEAN PAPER, IN A PLACE MOST OF US WILL NEVER VISIT COVERED THIS STORY DAYS BEFORE THE LOCAL MEDIA REPORTED IT! YOUR ACTIONS ARE UNDER REVIEW INTERNATIONALLY! Recently, I had lunch with an Old School Chicago CPD Commander, who was once my boss. A great guy, but he is full of shit, because he got into an argument with me over how these times are like it used to be. According to him, society and police work are always going through change, and this time is no different than when O.W. Wilson took over the Chicago Police Department. Wrong, Wrong, Wrong! 1. The scrutiny and ability to Monitor the police today is like NOTHING in the past. 2. The Media and Politicians now, like never before, are looking for someone to BLAME, and that someone is YOU! You have NO FRIENDS in the Media or Elected Office. 3. The 24/7 News Cycle of today, is a Beast that must be fed, and your basic, simple mistakes, will be a Lead Story, INTERNATIONALLY! 4. The Leadership in the Chicago Police Department is currently trained to Supervise, and discipline, rather than Lead. When I was a Sgt., my leadership skills were acquired in the Marine Corps in Vietnam, well before becoming a Chicago Police Sgt. When I began as a Chicago Police Officer, most of us were former military, because of the Draft. Today, the vast majority of cops, do not have any prior military discipline or concept of loyalty, or Mission. A substantial number of Chicago Police Officers are not even from Chicago! In 019, there is a female probationary officer who grew up and lived in Mongolia until she was in her 20's! Just get your head around that; I would venture to say nobody reading this has ever or will ever visit Mongolia, nor could we grasp that culture! (Yak Milk!) Do you think she will be part of the BLUE WALL OF SILENCE bullshit? These are times like Never before in Policing! Stay Safe. Do NOTHING more than answer your calls. Do not lose sight of this sad reality; In the Chicago of today, YOU, the Police, are the Enemy! And YOU have the most to lose.
Since when do Cook County inmates wear orange unless they’re coming from somewhere else?
How about a pizza party as a reward for helping out? O never mind they already have those for doing nothing.
Retired in 08’ and am fortunate enough to be able to spend winter in SW Florida (especially this year). At least once a week I see prisoner work details on the sides of the road. Makes me smile. Stay safe
More of the Boo Hoo society whining.
Remember when the CHA suggested that residents do some light maintenance around the buildings?
Jesse Jackson went nuts claiming the residents would be treated like slaves if they performed these tasks. The CHA quickly backed down
Free means free!!!
thought the libtards fought for guests at darts greybar the right to sit on their asses and don't do any kind of menial labor.
who cooks the meals for these losers, aramark?
better to have fully insured unionized patronage workers.
The residents of the Brown County Jail are tasked with shoveling out Lambeau Field every time it snows before a Green Bay Packers home game. Nobody cries about it.
Guaranteed every single 1 of those dogs never did an honest days work in their entire life.
What we have here, is a failure to communicate.
Activist= someone who wants attention pretending to care for others. Ignores real problems in neighborhoods and someone who isn't qualified for a real job.

Great idea! But someone already has that contract. Can’t interrupt the income from the contractor that is paying for the contract.

And to think PrickKinkle wants to do away with jails/prisons......
The real offense is not having more county government jobs with six figure annual pensions to get the snow shoveled or to contract the shoveling out to a company owned by someone connected to county government office holders.
Agree. Most have never seen a shovel. I suggest people watch the program prisons around the world. A real eye opener.
I never understood what Shaved had against Dart.
Now I do.
A prisoner working out side of the jail, becoming injured by any means, means a big payday for them. Slip and fall, a quick trip to a hospital, means a big payout to them.
Kind of reminds me of my youth, "go out and shovel the F'n snow".
no one is being forced to do this work.
Im all for making them pull their own weight to fund their own incarceration but day of work for day off their sentence is WAAAY to genberous.

Since they only get paid $2 for the actual work, you have to make it worthwhile to them. The article indicates they are all nonviolent offenders anyway. I would just as soon they not be in the jail learning how to be violent.
As Slim Pickens once said;
What in the wide, wide world of sports is a going on here....
Bet this was all a preplanned orchestrated stunt and of course voluntary.
(Word is he tried to get the inmates to wear red Elmer Fudd style MAGA hats.)
When Shawshank needed a new roof plenty signed up.
In lieu of cold suds, Warden DilDart offered up Little Cesar’s and shorties.
In any manner, failed legal secretary CookCo Community Advocate KmmmFxxxUp already dispatched her former employer to seek another hefty non-contested settlement for that infringement on the institutional rights of the shovel gang.
It’s outrageous, egregious and preposterous.
DilDart continues to pull these inmate shenanigans.
Money talks.
They should buy those workers some of those $1000+ Canadian Goose Jackets to shovel the snow in. /sarc
Cold prisons? Water them down open the windows to get them aclamated. Close the windows let them dry up set heat at 67. It will feel like 75.
Hose them down and to keep them awake standing. Dart is more worthless then a shit on a fly' dupa.
Maybe Dart will pop on your dime a Goose down coat.
It over people of the land of the free if these lib' are not sent to Ca to start their own country. Crime and taxes will be nil. The work on NY and NJ state. Fucking demorats, JFK is flipping in his final resting place. If LBJ did not become president, the country would be in great shape. Welfare for votes president.
Old man Daley also gave shit to the people living on our dime. Daley Jr, turned all that around, Hope his brother, the one with a brain turns the city upset down. Vote for Daley, he is like his old man.
Yo Pizza Man said we could sit and watch ya'all workin ....Ain't got to do nuffin

Nadine...........Maybe de should stay outta jail yo
So Miss Nadine of Ford Heights had to experience the “cold” at the jail. If her relative wasn’t locked up, neither she nor the criminal would suffer the cold. Don’t get locked up. Problem solved.
Pizza ovens will be working overtime.
Those poor sex offenders and robbers. So sad.
Forget the snow. Have them fill all the potholes.

These assholes are going to be violent anyway.
Lmoa, that building in the background is Building 1 TV Tommie Toupee’s office is facing where the Inmates are. Cara Smith is full of Shit, there is no misunderstanding, the inmates are shoveling in substandard clothing. They are volunteers and probably got a pizza party.
