So on Wednesday, I get to meet the mayor. I guess his political advisers have convinced him to visit the “model program” that they anticipate other jail/prison programs will be based on in the future. The jail complex will probably be on lockdown all day and, if he arrives at change of tours (shifts) tons of overtime will be paid out since access to and from the jail complex is likely to be prohibited during the mayor’s visit. During the mayor’s visit, the word “revolutionary” will probably be thrown around repeatedly, and the “model success story” inmate will be brought out of his cell to charm the mayor and his entourage. In the meantime, the mayor really should be (but wont be) visiting the inmate who, although he was unarmed, is being charged with the police shooting of two bystanders. And as for that “model success story” inmate, he told me that he is really angry and upset about his personal information being shared with everyone who walks through the door. He’s got a valid point there. As the mayor leaves, he will be sent off with a chorus chanting “Accoutrements, Accoutrements” Why? He’ll never know. It’s a “CAPS” thing!
