It has bees said that Kevin Flanagan is the best candidate for Treasurer. Wasn't Kevin on the Finance committee that oversaw the Over Spending that Ahearn did. Wasn't Flanagan a member of that committee for the past 10 years. If it walks like a duck.....

A Cedar Junction prison correction guard finds himself behind bars himself tonight, according to local authorities, after a show of police force in West Walpole.

Matthew Pike was arrested on a charge of sexual assault at about 8 p.m. tonight, according to Walpole police. Deputy Police Chief John Carmichael said the assault happened in Walpole but couldn’t comment on others details in the case.

Officers stopped Pike while he was driving on Washington Street, Carmichael said, but they meant to arrest him at his 8 Wind Chime Way home off of Cedar Street.

A SWAT team and a throng of local officers attempted to conduct a warrant arrest at Pike’s home after setting up a police perimeter on Cedar Street, according to officers. A state police helicopter also monitored the situation from the air and county crisis negotiators were on standby should something go wrong.

Police classified Pike as a “high risk arrest” because he allegedly assaulted four police officers at Boston bar in March.

Half a dozen Boston officers were needed to arrest Pike at the Corib Pub in West Roxbury after he fought with police and hospitalized four officers, according to the Walpole Police Department.

“For the particulars of this case, we deemed this a high risk situation,” Carmichael said.

The SWAT team at some point determined that Pike wasn’t home, Carmichael said, but Walpole patrolman John Lagoa spotted him shortly after driving on Main Street. Police said the officer followed him onto Washington Street until back-up could catch up and pull Pike over in the Walpole Department of Public Works yard.

Carmichael said the pub fight and the Walpole sexual assault charge were unrelated.

Walpole police said they booked and processed Pike at their station and, as of 9:30 p.m., was set to be taken to the Dedham House of Corrections.

When my daughter was a little girl (early 80's) we went to Walpole State Prison, there was a gift shop there where we purchased a dollhouse made by one of the prisoners....my question is.....does the gift shop still exist? If so, where is it as I understand Walpole is now Cedar Junction?

Stopping Correctional Worker Suicide
By Caterina Spinaris Tudor , Ph.D.
Published: 03/08/2010

The corrections field is plagued with the scourge of staff suicide. Recent statistics from New Jersey show that corrections officers commit suicide at over double the rates of police officers and the general population. From 2003 through 2007, for males ages 25-64, per 100,000 the suicide rate for C.O.s was 34.8, for police 15.1, and for the general population 14.0. (NJ Police Suicide Task Force Rpt.pdf).

These are startling numbers. What might they be due to? Corrections workers have to deal with whatever we all face—financial, family and personal issues. On top of that they are regularly exposed to the darkest of the dark of the human condition—violence, horrific crimes, mental illness, suffering, investigations and jaded coworkers. Life is very cheap behind the walls, perhaps making one’s own death a more acceptable option to some. Here are some grim examples of recent correctional workers’ suicides, including a gruesome murder-suicide.

On 8/4/09, Essex County, NJ, Corrections Officer Kelley McKenith wounded her boyfriend and then shot and killed her 4-month-old baby before taking her own life.

After leaving the Union County Jail, NJ, at lunch hour on 9/2/09, Frank Congiusta, a 16-year veteran Corrections Officer fatally shot himself with a handgun inside his vehicle parked just down the street from the jail.

Of course the same pattern exists in other states. On 1/25/10 a 6-year North Carolina Correctional Officer on perimeter patrol at the Pasquotank Correctional Institution, a high security prison for adult men at Elizabeth City, used her service revolver to kill herself on the job.

Correctional worker suicide is not limited to the U.S. In the Gauteng region of South Africa in 2009 alone FOURTEEN (14) Corrections Officers died by suicide!

What can we do to stem this suicide epidemic among corrections personnel?

Former Corrections Officer Sentenced to
Two Years on Drug Conspiracy Charges


APR 12 - BOSTON, Mass. - A Bellingham man was sentenced today in federal court after pleading guilty to conspiring to distribute Oxycodone and cocaine.

Steven W. Derr, Special Agent in Charge of the Drug Enforcement Administration - Boston Field Office and United States Attorney Carmen M. Ortiz announced that STEVEN J. MOGRASS, 43, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge George A. O’Toole, Jr., to two years in prison after MOGRASS pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute the potent painkiller, Oxycodone and one count of conspiracy to distribute cocaine.

Had the case proceeded to trial the Government’s evidence would have shown that from September-December 2009, MOGRASS, then a corrections officer at MCI Cedar Junction in Walpole, sold hundreds of Oxycodone pills and two ounces of cocaine to an undercover task force officer on several occasions at a public parking lot in Franklin, Mass.

Judge O’Toole sentenced MOGRASS to 24 months in prison to be followed by three years of supervised release. MOGRASS has resigned from his position of corrections officer.

The case was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration with the assistance of the Internal Affairs Unit of the Massachusetts Department of Corrections, MCI Cedar Junction.

MARTHA COAKLEY

ATTORNEY GENERAL
June 30, 2010 - For immediate release:
DOC Employee Indicted for Allegedly Using State Funds for Personal Purchases
BROCKTON – A lieutenant in the Special Operations Division of the Department of Correction (DOC) has been indicted for allegedly using his position as a purchasing agent to steer state money for his own financial gain, Attorney General Martha Coakley’s Office announced today.
A Plymouth County Grand Jury returned indictments against Gary Mendes, age 50, of Berkley, on charges of Conflict of Interest-Financial Interest, Conflict of Interest-Gratuities, Procurement Fraud (2 counts), and Larceny Over $250 (3 counts).

“We allege that Mr. Mendes abused his position of trust within the Department of Correction to use state funds for his own personal purchases,” Attorney General Martha Coakley said.

In 2007, the DOC Internal Affairs Division started investigating allegations that a member of their Special Operations Division had been improperly acquiring personal items that were purchased with state funding or credits from state returns, and that members of the Special Operations Division had gone on a trip to Florida that was paid for by a state approved vendor of law enforcement supplies located in Western Massachusetts. After conducting their investigation, the DOC referred the matter to the Attorney General’s Office in March 2008.

Investigators discovered that starting in 2004 Mendes developed a personal financial relationship with a vendor in the months before it began to bid on (and won) the multi-million dollar statewide contract for firearms, ammunition, and related accessories. Mendes was a member of the five-person Public Safety Procurement Management Team (PMT) that solicited, reviewed, and awarded the contract. Mendes was also the DOC purchasing agent who used the statewide contract to order approximately $250,000 per year in supplies from the vendor.

While working for the DOC and serving on the PMT, Mendes began to accrue both a “personal credit” and a “DOC credit” with the vendor. Mendes obtained personal credit purportedly by selling ammunition left over from military training programs conducted at the DOC’s Bridgewater facility. In exchange, the vendor would write checks to or for Mendes’s benefit, including checks payable to Mendes, his bank, and various personal credit cards, including Home Depot, Lowe's, Staples, and Sears. Over time, the dollar value of the checks out-paced the dollar value of the military ammunition, and Mendes was bringing in ammunition and other items to “pay down” what he owed. In all, between June 2004 and September 2008, Mendes’s ammunition sales and running line of credit resulted in the vendor issuing over 70 checks totaling over $80,000 that were either to or for Mendes’s benefit.

The vendor also kept track of a separate DOC credit that Mendes funded by returning DOC purchased merchandise, or by asking the vendor not to ship all of the items on a particular DOC purchase order, or by finding a lower price for items than the price on the purchase order and applying the difference to the credit. The DOC credit (like the personal credit) was kept informally as a running handwritten tally on a succession of manila folders maintained by the vendor.

Mendes used the store credit to purchase items without a DOC purchase order. He would purchase items from the vendor’s store, other stores, and on the Internet. When purchasing from other stores, Mendes would frequently place the orders and pay for the items using the vendor’s business credit cards. The value of these credit card purchases would be deducted from the accrued DOC credit. Mendes used the DOC credit to buy equipment and supplies for both DOC business and for his own personal uses and needs including: a pitching machine, baseballs, and other baseball equipment, paintball guns and accessories, a bow and two bow cases, a gift for his wife, and various supplies and equipment that he sold to colleagues. Mendes was the person who could get anybody anything they needed.

In addition to using DOC credit to cover in-store personal purchases, and personal purchases from other stores and the internet using the vendor’s business credit cards, Mendes enjoyed additional personal financial benefits. Each holiday season in 2004, 2005 and 2006 he received over $200 in Omaha Steaks from the vendor. In 2007, the vendor paid for all or some portion of a trip to Orlando, Florida that Mendes and other members of the Special Operations Division took with the vendor.

In the summer of 2008, it is alleged Mendes pocketed cash derived from selling DOC brass shell casings, “shorting” one DOC ammunition order to pay for the personal purchase of five brand new Smith & Wesson firearms sold for $2,500, and inflating another DOC ammunition order by $9,000 to cover both DOC and personal purchases and have enough left over for Mendes to pocket several thousand dollars more.

On November 19, 2008, Mendes was arrested at his residence without incident by the Massachusetts State Police assigned to the Attorney General’s Office. Mendes was arraigned that same afternoon in Greenfield District Court where he entered a plea of not guilty. Mendes was released on personal recognizance on the condition that he stay away from the law enforcement supplies distributor to whom he had close ties. The Commonwealth had requested that Mendes be held on $25,000 bail.

A Plymouth County Grand Jury returned indictments against Mendes on June 25, 2010. He is scheduled to be arraigned on July 28, 2010, in Brockton Superior Court.

The case is being prosecuted by Assistant Attorney General Jim O’Brien, Chief of AG Coakley’s Corruption and Fraud Division, and Assistant Attorney General Jessica Massey, of Attorney General Coakley’s Enterprise and Major Crimes Division. The case was investigated by financial investigator Jessie Dean, and members of the Massachusetts State Police assigned to the Attorney General’s Office, and the Commissioner’s Office of the Department of Correction.

Let's see, Duval placed many of his ass-kissers into pristine positions over the years, one of them is even a Deputy Commissioner now. Now we have Louis Spencer, evidently he was *The Best* there was in the DOC, that he is now acting Commissioner!!! Michael Grant is one of his best buddies, who thinks he is another Mr. Know it all, just ask him a question and before your finished talking he'll be giving you an answer for something else. My money says he'll become the next Chief of Staff while Spencer is Acting.
Who do you suppose will get promoted? Will they all be people of color to fill a quota only and not based on education, experience, leadership and knowledge. Time in the DOC is not enough today to warrant promotions to ass-kissers only.

He doesn't want to give anything. You have the power to stand strong and tell them, just like other states. They don't want us in the streets, he needs a scare, and nows the time to do it. Get a few more sick days, get a couple more p days, you have the power of the pen. USE IT.

Hope you all vote NO. You don't need to be influenced or even be smart to see what this is all about people. Read it. It offers NOTHING we aren't already entitled to. We will be giving the DOC what it wants and getting zero in return. Paying it forward so to speak but we already did. We didn't have to give furlough days we lost thousands in holiday pay. Listen... 1. we have a 1% raise pending from july 2010. 2. we are already slated to get 3% in july 2011. Now it is 4% owed. Why would we agree to get 1% this july and not get 3% until next july? 3. they tell us we will get our holiday pay back in july 2012. by then the courts will have ordered it. 4. that comp board proposal is so you will use the time and DOC won't have to pay you for it. 5. The new language only talks about past practice. It doesn't specifically say you will be paid for all 13 holidays. Right now, there is a present and soon to be past practice that the DOC took your holiday pay away. Do not look at any of this as a good thing. There is nothing good about it. Again MCOFU laying down. We got NOTHING for years, no money, no benefits. We pay more in health insurance and still have horrible sick time language. READ IT PLEASE. What ever you do, don't not vote!!!! We have the DOC in a position to bargain...they will not let us get away if it is voted down. The DOC wants to wrap this up by July.

After being a SGT for so long at MCI Framingham and Norfolk, and the best SGT in the entire DOC, I will be going to CJ to straighten out the institution and point out all the people who don't know as much as I do. Sure glad that it's a level 4 now cause I couldn't deal with the women at Framingham so I know I couldn't have hacked it here a year ago. Anyone who needs a top notch photographer, I'm your man.

Subject: Best Mass prison to avoid sexual assault?

I know this is probably the wrong place to ask this, but my brother might be doing time for a serious assault and he is worried about the prospect of sexual assault.

I understand that all convicts need to go through MCICJ for 12-16 weeks, after which time he will be designated based on criteria I am not familiar with.

He is about 6'3", but very thin and white. Educated with limited street smarts, no tattoos, no record prior to this conviction. He's a fish.

From a CO's perspective, is there a prison at which you think he would have the least possible chance at being sexually assaulted/raped?

This is serious question because he/we fear contracting HIV and he is nervous. Obviously he shouldn't have done the crime in the first place, but could someone please comment about where the best prison for him would be based on this issue?

we need to vote all the e-board incumbents out of office in this next election. We are losing at every turn.
1) no raise
2) 5% increase in out health insurance.
3) we lost holiday pay. about $5,000/yr per officer.
4) no political clout even though we give several thousand dollars to several politicians.
5) President Steve kenneway has provided no leadership.
6) Legislative Rep. Joe Gaurino is a no show.
7) Executive Secretary Henry Harris is not even a correction officer-he is a brownshirt maintenance worker from shirley med.
8)Grievance Coordinator james Nason admits he still does not know his job and needs more time to learn.

This union has gone downhill for the past six to eight years under the so called leadership of these guys.

they might be good guys I don't know any of them. This is nothing personal. but they have had there chance.

Lets vote in some hardworking, smart and solid union guys who will work hard for us and NOT sell us out.
