Date Posted: 16:29:20 01/31/10 Sun Police help family of cancer patient NEW PAL -- Grace Morrison, 7, of South Grove Street gets a friend to help her through her cancer treatments as Robert Faherty, chairman of the board of Cops for Kids with Cancer, hands her a Teddy bear that also plays cassette tapes Monday at the Public Safety Building. Looking on, from left, are Helena Findlen, president of the charity organization, Grace’s mom Nancy Morrison, and sister Rose. By Bill Stedman Published: Thursday, January 14, 2010 11:25 AM EST Grace Morrison, a quiet 7-year-old South Grove Street resident who is currently undergoing chemotherapy treatment for cancer, smiled and said a polite 'thank you' as Boston's former police superintendent-in-chief Robert Faherty handed her a Teddy Bear on Monday morning. The gift was part of a presentation to the Morrison family at the Foxboro Public Safety Building from the chartiable organization Cops for Kids with Cancer. In addition to the Spinoza Teddy bear, which also plays tapes, and other gifts for Grace and her older sister Rose, Faherty presented the Morrisons with a check for $5,000 to help them cover the many expenses associated with the cancer treatment and time needed to care for a sick child. In addition, Foxboro Det. Sgt. Tom Kirrane announced that his department is sponsoring a hockey tournament to benefit the charity on Saturday, March 27, at the Foxboro Sports Center on Belcher Road. Kirrane, himself a former high school hockey player, helped arrange for eight police department teams to play games from noon to 5 p.m. in the fully-refereed tournament. Kirrane said he will lace up the skates himself, although he would not commit to how long his legs would let him play. The Boston-based Cops for Kids with Cancer is trying to get more area police departments involved in its fundraising efforts to help families with young cancer patients. The group was founded in 2002 by then-retired Boston Police Captain John Dow, who wanted to turn his own battle with cancer into a positive force for others. After Dow's death, the leadership for the group was passed along to Faherty, who said the group not only helps families, but also donates to the children's oncology units at Boston hospitals. Cops for Kids with Cancer takes application from families through police officers and board members to try to help with lifestyles turned upside down by a child's illness. Money donated could go to mortage, rent or insurance costs for a family, paying for a cleaning service so the house is ready for the child's homecoming, costs for a short hotel stay so parents and siblings can visit the child in the hospital, or providing some entertainment or diversion for the child and family.

| Subject: Kathleen M. Dennehy-Fay | |
Author: CO1 [ Edit | View ] |
Date Posted: 22:19:23 04/16/09 Thu By DAN RING dring@repub.com The Republican file photo Kathleen M. Dennehy-Fay BOSTON - Former Gov. W. Mitt Romney's commissioner of corrections significantly boosted her state pension by capitalizing on a loophole in state pension law. Kathleen M. Dennehy-Fay, commissioner or acting commissioner of the state Department of Corrections between December 2003 and 2007, retired early at 54 in November with an annual pension of $106,212. She greatly increased her pension by shifting into a different job classification at the end of her state career, capturing the pension bonus given to police officers and prison guards. After Romney left office and was succeeded by Democrat Gov. Deval L. Patrick, Dennehy-Fay obtained a job as superintendent of security operations for the county sheriff in Bristol County, who is a Republican like Romney. Dennehy-Fay jumped from her longtime group 1 administrative classification into a group 4 job at the Bristol County sheriff's office in May 2007. Benefits are more lucrative and begin sooner in group 4. Group 4 is reserved for people with more hazardous jobs, including certain prison guards, police and firefighters. In group 4, Dennehy-Fay retired with a $106,212 pension, or 95 percent of her final salary of $112,200, according to Bristol County records. By moving ahead in job class for just the final year and seven months of her employment, she received a pension the same as if she had always been in that riskier job. In a phone interview, Dennehy-Fay defended her pension. "All I did was follow the law," said Dennehy-Fay, the first woman to be chief of the state prison system. If she had remained in group 1, she would have had to work another seven or eight years and retire no younger than 60 to achieve close to the benefits she is receiving by retiring at 54 in group 4, according to calculations from state retirement tables. Even though she was a manager most of her career, she increased her pension by at least $25,000, and likely more, by retiring from the pension plan set aside for prison guards. By moving to Bristol County and getting a new job classification, Dennehy-Fay accomplished something that was denied her immediate predecessor. The state Board of Retirement in 2003 voted against a request by her predecessor, Michael T. Maloney, to be reclassified from group 1 to group 4, something that would have boosted his pension by about $40,000. Maloney's last job was as commissioner. Dennehy-Fay said that when she took the job in Bristol County, she didn't know or inquire in advance that she was stepping into a group 4 position. She said she needed to remain in Massachusetts and she was recruited for the position in Bristol County. She said she didn't know it was a group 4 post until she filled out paperwork for the job. Dennehy-Fay's switch into a different job classification illustrates how certain state officials can use obscure rules to benefit from state pension laws and hike their pensions. Reform of the state-controlled pension system is an important issue on Beacon Hill this year. The state Senate has approved a bill that represents the first phase of a pension overhaul. The state House of Representatives is scheduled to vote next week on a pension bill of its own. Even though she retired under the same plan as a prison guard, Dennehy-Fay's pension was calculated on her three highest years of salary when she was in group 1 as commissioner of the state Department of Corrections. She said she couldn't say exactly what she made as commissioner, but she said it was about $138,000 to $140,000. She said she intended to stay longer in the Bristol County job, but ultimately decided to retire early. She worked 30 years and 8 months for the state corrections department and then just 1 year and seven months for Bristol County. She did stints as superintendent of the state prison in Framingham, associate commissioner and other management jobs for the state. Dennehy-Fay's switch into group 4 apparently is an unusual move, even for state government, where politically-connected officials are renowned for using retirement laws to increase pensions. "The people who know me, know me," she said. "It is what it is." Richard M. Theroux, city clerk in Agawam and chairman of the Hampden County Regional Retirement System, said Dennehy-Fay received something akin to "a gift from god" when she hopped into group 4 at the end of her state employment after working for many years in group 1. He said it was a rare maneuver and dramatically increased her pension. "It's not right," Theroux said. "Obviously, she took advantage of the system. That's the problem." Ralph White, a member of the state Board of Retirement, said he was amazed by Dennehy-Fay's move. "It is rare," White said. Joseph Guarino, legislative representative for the Massachusetts Correction Officers Federated Union, said Dennehy-Fay probably increased her pension by about $25,000 by moving up in class just 19 months before she retired. The union is supporting legislation that would require an employee in the state Department of Correction to work a majority of years in group 4 in order to retire from that group after 20 years. Guarino said Dennehy-Fay won a pension under a "huge loophole" in state retirement law that gave her the generous benefits of group 4 when she was classified differently for the majority of her career. Dennehy-Fay often clashed with the union during her tenure as corrections chief over issues such as abuse of sick time. She never worked as a prison guard, according to an article in the Worcester Telegram & Gazette. Thomas M. Hodgson, sheriff of the Bristol County Jail and House of Correction, said that after Patrick took office, he sought out Dennehy-Fay for superintendent of security operations to take advantage of her talents and experience. He said she didn't accept the position just to be in group 4 at retirement. She had also planned to stay longer in Bristol County than 19 months, but had to leave for personal reasons, he said. "She had committed to being here much longer than that," he said |

Date Posted: 21:43:52 04/15/09 Wed Shirley prison to get influx By Lisa Redmond and Jack Minch Lowell Sun "We think this is the most foolish plan ever come up with," Kenneway said. "It's going to get somebody hurt or killed, either staff or inmates." MASSACHUSETTS — By June, most of the state's most dangerous criminals will be housed at the Souza-Baranowski Correctional Center in Shirley. And although Shirley officials contacted yesterday were unaware of the move, most were cautiously optimistic that their community will be safe. "I think we have to do our business and feel we're safe," said interim Superintendent of Schools Malcolm "Mac" Reid, who had not heard of the state's plans before yesterday. In a March 20 letter obtained by The Sun, Harold Clarke, commissioner of the Department of Corrections, writes to inmates all over the state giving them an update on the MCI-Cedar Junction "mission change." Under the plan, MCI-Cedar Junction in Walpole will become the only male "reception center" where new inmates are sent for classification within the state prison system. Previously, classification was done at MCI-Concord, but by shifting that responsibility to Walpole, the prison in Concord will become medium security. The change is because Cedar Junction's layout lends itself more to an inmate entry center than to a maximum-security facility, officials have said. Some units, including the new reception center and the disciplinary unit, will remain maximum security, but the prison will become a medium-security facility. "As a result, inmates currently housed at MCI-Cedar Junction will be transferred to the Souza-Baranowski Correctional Center, which will become the primary maximum security facility in Massachusetts," Clarke wrote. The DOC estimates about half of Cedar Junction's 789 prisoners will be transferred to Shirley by June. The commissioner said the change will allow officials to better utilize resources. But to accommodate the change, about 450 cells at Souza-Baranowski have been double-bunked to make room for the additional Walpole prisoners. Double-bunking at a maximum-security correctional facility "is utilized routinely in other states as well as the Federal Bureau of Prisons," Clarke wrote. But the practice has already been blamed for one riot at Souza-Baranowski, and a union leader says inmates are threatening more. Last month, corrections officers were forced to use tear gas on inmates who rioted to protest the installation of bunk beds in cells. As inmates returned from their afternoon meal, they entered a cell block and began to destroy items and throw objects. Officers restored order by using tear gas. Prison officials said about seven prisoners were involved. One officer was injured. "The overcrowding situation has left the department no choice," DOC spokeswoman Diane Wiffin said. "There are no plans for new construction." Clarke and his senior staff have been meeting with the Massachusetts Correctional Officers Federated Union since mid-September, she said. The union opposes the shift and double-bunking, said Steve Kenneway, the union's president. "We think this is the most foolish plan ever come up with," Kenneway said. "It's going to get somebody hurt or killed, either staff or inmates." The union wants maximum-security prisoners at least confined to their cell blocks to minimize danger, he said. Corrections officers are already hearing from inmates that they plan to take over the facility and kill corrections officers and cell mates, Kenneway said. Leslie Walker, executive director at the inmate advocacy group Massachusetts Correctional Legal Services, agrees the new arrangement is dangerous. Inmates the DOC has already determined the most dangerous will be locked in their cells up to 19 hours a day, Walker said. Shirley selectmen were briefed last year on the double-bunking issue, but Selectman Leonard "Chip" Guercio learned of the new plans from The Sun yesterday. "Pretty much, the understanding was there was not enough prison space overall in the commonwealth," he said. "This, overall, ties into that, I think." The prison has not been a significant security risk for residents, but Guercio said selectmen want reassurances that there are sufficient safety measures inside the prison after the change. The town contracts emergency services, such as first-responder ambulance and fire care, so there are always safety concerns about going inside, he said. Selectmen Chairman Enrico Cappucci, a former police chief in town, said he is more worried about escapes from the minimum-security prison in Shirley because it does not have fences. The Lura A. White Elementary School is close to Souza-Baranowski, but Reid, the schools superintendent, said he is not concerned about the change in prison population. The DOC is expected take appropriate precautions to make sure there are no escapes, Reid said. |

Date Posted: 10:28:08 10/30/08 Thu Efforts to balance the state budget have hurt communities that host state correctional facilities because, despite assurances by state officials that aid to towns and cities would be spared, mitigation funds for costs associated with prisons were some of the first dollars slashed. For Norfolk, which hosts MCI-Norfolk, that means a loss of $192,000 in expected revenue, which will affect capital projects. For neighboring Walpole, where MCI-Cedar Junction is located, the figure is $750,000, leaving officials predicting shortfalls that may be made up with town and school reserve funds. "That cut will be an immediate impact on our budget," Walpole Town Administrator Michael Boynton said. After learning of their loss, Norfolk officials immediately canceled fall Town Meeting, an effort that saved between $4,000 and $5,000, Town Administrator Jack Hathaway said. He said action planned for the fall meeting will be taken up in the spring. Ramesh Advani, chairman of the town's Board of Selectmen, said the cut in funds will hurt projects the town is planning. "Hurt is putting it mildly," Advani said. "We were going to use this for capital projects, and now it's gone." Governor Deval Patrick spared local aid in making $1 billion in cuts to the state budget last month. The cuts were necessary due to dramatically lagging tax revenue. Cynthia Roy, a spokeswoman for the governor's budget office, would not address the situations in Norfolk and Walpole directly, but said: "Given difficult circumstances, everyone will have to share in the pain and take steps to ensure that vital programs and services across the state can remain intact." "Unfortunately," Roy said, "compromise is part of that plan." She stressed that 22 cents of every dollar of state spending goes to local aid. In Norfolk, the town was already reeling from a failed $414,000 override this spring to boost the schools, municipal departments, and a much-needed new public safety facility. Now, the town is in financial jeopardy, Advani said. Among other things, officials planned to use the state mitigation funding for a final $10,000 payment for library equipment that was spread out for three years and due now. "We will have to do a reserve fund transfer, because if we don't pay it, we will be defaulting," Advani said. "It's a little bit of a disaster." Money also was to be set aside to begin the process of buying a back-up ambulance, but that isn't going to happen, officials said. Instead, they will sell some Department of Public Works equipment to pay for repairs they hope will give the old ambulance a few more years in service. And a $17,000 payment to the school district to fund smoke detectors for the aging Freeman-Centennial Elementary School will now be up to school officials to handle, Advani said. The added expense comes at a time that the Norfolk School Committee has already imposed a $90 bus fee to help fill shortfalls in the current year's spending plan that appeared when the override failed. That was disappointing for new School Superintendent Donnie LeClerc, who had to find $140,000 in cuts on his first day on the job last summer. "It's unfortunate because we thought we had this one in the bag," LeClerc said. "I'm not sure what we're going to do." The 60-year-old school was built with fire alarms, of course, he said, but does not have smoke alarms. Because of the school's age, the alarms are not required by code unless a major upgrade is performed. LeClerc said the absence of detectors is not a safety issue, but they would have added a layer of protection for the students and teachers. LeClerc said even before the loss of mitigation funds the school system was looking at $500,000 in cuts. "That's scary," he said. "But, there's only so much you can do. You can't find the money by cutting a few pencils or a few reams of paper. That's cutting into teacher salaries and how many students are going to be in classes." |

Date Posted: 20:31:38 11/19/08 Wed BOSTON (WBZ) ¯ He worked for the Department of Correction for 25 years, but in just one year, 48-year-old Gary Mendes became a state employee accused of public corruption. "Most of our employees are hard working and don't break the law," said Attorney General Martha Coakley. She said Lieutenant Mendes, of Berkeley, Mass., who was in charge of buying items for the special operations division, stole more than $100,000. "He had the opportunity because he did the purchasing for the Department of Corrections to work with at least one particular vendor." She says through that vendor, Mendes would buy more than needed and then return the extra for a store credit or refund. "In some cases he would use the credit. In some instances he would be returned a check in the amount, in this instance that I give you as a hypothetical in the amount of $4,000 or $5,000 that he would pocket himself." Mendes' purchases, which include a bow and arrow, a ball machine, a flat screen TV, and Sony portable picture printer and semi-automatic firearms, are now marked as evidence. "He in fact charged them to the Department of Corrections and would take the money they gave him to purchase it. We don't believe they're out in the back market as a result of this," said Coakley. The investigation into Mendes started one year ago, but there could be more cases like this to surface because of the failing economy. The Attorney General's office wants to send the warning now. "We hope that we can send a message that we will be active in these investigations, particularly in light of the economic situation." Mendes, who is charged with larceny and procurement fraud, earned $75,000 a year. He was arrested, but suspended with pay while the investigation continues. Mendes pleaded not guilty during his arraignment on Wednesday and has been ordered held on $25,000 bail. |

Date Posted: 21:56:46 11/03/08 Mon GateHouse News Service Posted Nov 03, 2008 @ 08:01 AM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Taunton — Five people were arrested and three were hurt Sunday afternoon after a fight erupted at Taunton State Hospital, police said. The fracas broke out at Howland House, which houses juveniles and young adults with emotional and behavioral disorders, around 5:20 p.m., when employees couldn’t regain control of residents on the building’s second floor or in the fenced-in recreation area outside, said Taunton police Sgt. Paul Roderick. Offficers from Taunton, Raynham and Dighton, along with state police k-9 units, quelled the uproar within about five minutes, Roderick said. About 11 teens and juveniles were fighting in the enclosed yard, while others yelled and cursed from upstairs window, Roderick said. Once order was restored, Nicholas LeBeau, 23 Park Road, Plymouth, Vincent Valois, 98 Seabury St., Fall River and Brian Peters-Pike, 234 Coggshall St., New Bedford, all 17 years old, were charged with inciting a riot, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. Two juveniles, whose names are being withheld because of their age, were charged with the same offenses and taken to another facility, Roderick said. Three other juveniles were treated at Morton Hospital for injuries stemming from the fight and returned to Taunton State. “Quite a few people were in the year uncontrolled ... a good portion of them were pepper sprayed,” Roderick said. “As it developed we really just kind of out-numbered them. They were hollering and yelling, they seemed like they wanted to make it a them versus us situation. They certainly weren’t intimidated by police presence,” A motive for the fight remains unclear. |

Date Posted: 21:55:28 10/24/08 Fri Convicted Killer Sarah Pender Escapes From Ind. Prison Cops say Sarah Jo Pender is a violent fugitive, accused of breaking out of an Indiana prison in early August 2008. View Larger In 2000, cops say Sarah Jo Pender and her boyfriend killed their two roommates, shooting each of them with a shotgun and dumping their bodies in an Indianapolis dumpster. The two were eventually captured by police in Noblesville, Ind. and were sentenced in Marion County in 2002. Pender's accomplice in the murder, Richard Hull, is currently serving a 75-year sentence, while Pender had been serving a maximum 110-year sentence for her role in the murders. It seems that nearly six years behind bars was all Pender could take, as in August 2008, she busted out of Rockville Correctional Facility shortly before a routine inmate head count. IDOC officials say Rockville Correctional Facility is a mutli-level, medium-security penitentiary, which has the ability to hold all levels of female offenders. It would have and should have held Pender, too, if it were not for her manipulative ways. Since the story first broke, Rockville Correctional Facility Officer Scott A. Spitler, a five-year veteran of the institution, has been arrested in connection with Pender's escape. He faces charges of Assisting a Criminal, Official Misconduct, Sexual Misconduct and Trafficking with an Inmate. The Indiana Department of Corrections tells AMW that Spitler allegedly drove Pender out of the prison after hiding her in the back of his IDOC van. Once beyond the prison gates, cops say ex-inmate Jamie Long, one of Pender's closest friends, was waiting patiently for Spitler to approach. When Spitler came to a stop, Pender then emerged from the backseat of his van and hopped into Long's vehicle, and she has remained on the lam ever since. But how did Pender coordinate this masterful escape? |

Date Posted: 11:30:58 10/24/08 Fri By Maureen Boyle ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER Posted Oct 24, 2008 @ 03:02 AM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BRIDGEWATER — The state is looking at creating “specialty” prisons — with Bridgewater the center for inmates with mental health issues — as part of a master plan that could trim costs, a state representative said Thursday. State Rep. David Flynn, D-Bridgewater, told The Enterprise Thursday that he was briefed on the state’s still-to-be-finalized master plan for corrections this week. He was awaiting more specifics on how it would affect Bridgewater. However, he said he expected Bridgewater would be the central prison for all mentally ill inmates. He said the aim of the plan is to trim costs, particularly in transportation, and centralize services for inmates with specific needs. A spokesman for the state Department of Correction, Diane Wiffin, said the state is considering concentrating inmates with mental health needs at the Old Colony Correctional Center in Bridgewater. “The plans are still being worked on,” she said. Old Colony Correctional Center is now a medium-security prison in the 30-acre Bridgewater Correctional Complex. The complex now also includes Bridgewater State Hospital, Massachusetts Alcohol and Substance Abuse Center, and the Treatment Center. Wiffin said the master plan was spurred by the need for more lower-security beds as well as providing services to inmates efficiently. “It is a plan that is still being formulated,” she said. Preliminary plans also call for: MCI-Cedar Junction in Walpole to be the first stop for male prisoners to be classified after they are sentenced. Presently, the prisoners first go to MCI-Concord.MCI-Concord may be converted to a general population, medium-security prison.There are plans to double bunk prisoners in the maximum security Souza-Baranowski Correctional Center in Shirley. Flynn said the master plan is expected to be done and released in December. The state representative said it was unclear how many prisoners would be in Bridgewater or what the staffing is. “I’m more concerned about how it affects those on the outside than those on the inside,” Flynn said.

Date Posted: 22:26:09 07/01/08 Tue Correction officer receives medal of valor By Leeanne T. Stronach Tue Jul 01, 2008, 12:36 PM EDT Tools: E-Mail Comments Share StumbleUpon Newsvine del.icio.us Digg Holbrook - Feb. 27, 2007 turned out to be anything but a routine day on the job for Correction Officer Kevin Sheehan of Holbrook. Sheehan, 49, is a Norfolk County Sheriff’s Department correction officer in its transportation department. His job involves taking prisoners to and from correctional facilities or courthouses. Before transporting now convicted rapist Che Sosa, Sheehan, who was accompanied by Capt. John Dunne, was forewarned that anything could happen so he should be prepared. It was an incident that occurred at the Norfolk County Superior Courthouse involving Sosa that earned Sheehan and Dunne medals of valor from the state Department of Public Safety at the 11th annual Correction Officer of the Year awards ceremony. During Sosa’s appearance before a judge as he stood side by side with his defense attorney, John Courtney, Sosa attacked Courtney with a plexi-glass weapon he had fashioned into a knife. Sosa attacked his attorney’s face and attempted to get him in the neck with the approximately seven-inch makeshift knife, Sheehan said. As the attack occurred, Sheehan’s and Dunne’s training took over. Sheehan said he first thought that Sosa had just punched Courtney. Sheehan utilized take down moves and defensive tactics that during his 17 years as a correction officer he’d been trained to use to wrestle Sosa to the ground with Dunne’s assistance. The plexi-glass knife fell out of Sosa’s hand while he was being restrained. Once Sosa was restrained and handcuffed, he was taken to the transport van and back to the Massachusetts Correctional Institute at Cedar Junction in Walpole. “He would have stabbed other people or us if he’d had the chance,” Sheehan said of Sosa. Sheehan described Sosa as a muscular man who knows mixed martial arts. Sosa had made threats to his lawyer prior to the incident, according to Sheehan. “We did the right thing and I’d do it again,” Sheehan said. Sheehan has lived in Holbrook his entire life. He attended Cardinal Spellman High School and graduated from Blue Hills Regional Technical School in 1977. Sheehan is married to Kristen and they have a five-month-old boy named Aiden. As a correction officer, Sheehan has been involved with other altercations over the years, but none of the magnitude of the Sosa incident, he said. Sheehan isn’t the type to back down because of his training and upbringing, and it was just a reaction for him, when he heard Sosa yell out, to enter the fray. “I react first and think about it afterward,” he said. This was the first time Sheehan received a medal of valor. “I was honored to get it,” he said. The award presentation, followed by a luncheon, was held on June 23 in the House Chambers of the Massachusetts State House. Sixteen officers from around the state, including Sheehan, were honored. In attendance were Lt. Gov. Timothy Murray, Secretary of Public Safety Kevin Burke, Department of Correction Commissioner Harold Clarke, and Norfolk County Sheriff Michael Bellotti. Murray and Bellotti presented Sheehan with his award. “Officer Sheehan’s actions were truly heroic,” Bellotti said. “He rushed into a dangerous situation without regard for his own safety. He and his fellow officers deserve tremendous credit.” Leeanne Stronach can be contacted at ltstronach@comcast.net. By Leeanne T.

Date Posted: 00:09:02 06/26/08 Thu Escapee's getaway car and shackles are found -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Photos Photos CNC/Essex County Sheriff Miguel Carabello is wanted by police. Call the Essex County Sheriff's Office at 978-750-1900 By Lisa Guerriero and Robert Gates GateHouse News Service Posted Jun 25, 2008 @ 10:10 PM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Salem — A Lawrence man accused of a violent home invasion is on the loose after escaping from state custody outside Salem Superior Court this morning. Miguel Caraballo, 37, was dressed in an orange prison and shackled at the hands, feet and waist when he slipped away from correctional officers at about 8:05 a.m. He was at the courthouse for a pretrial conference for his case, in which he faces numerous charges including home invasion, kidnapping and assault, according to Paul Fleming, a spokesman for the Essex County Sheriff’s Office. “He somehow managed to shuffle away from the gentlemen who were watching him,” said Fleming. Caraballo got into a white Nissan Maxima, which authorities believe was driven by a woman, possibly his girlfriend. Almost an hour after the escape, police found the stolen Maxima, with the shackles inside, on Kimball Court, a small street next to the Salem Witch Museum near Salem Common. Sources says the car, which was found less than a half-mile from the court, may have been stolen. Correctional officers were watching about 10 other prisoners at the time of Caraballo’s escape, Fleming said. Anyone who has information about the escape or Caraballo’s whereabouts is asked to call the Essex County Sheriff’s Office at 978-750-1900. In a photo provided by the Essex County Sheriff’s Department, he appears white, with short black hair and a possible scar on his nose just below the eyebrows, but no further physical description was available at press time. Caraballo, whose last known address is at 243 Prospect St. in Lawrence, had been held in the Middleton jail since April 16 on $100,000 cash bail. He faces charges of home invasion, kidnapping, and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, larceny of a motor vehicle and larceny over $250 in connection with an incident in Haverhill in December 2007. He has pleaded not guilty to all the charges. He also was being held on federal charges that he violated the conditions of release on a federal conviction of conspiracy to commit interstate transportation of stolen property when he allegedly committed the home invasion. “He’s certainly not a nice person,” Fleming said, noting Caraballo has a long criminal record. The state police Special Tactical Operations team arrested Caraballo in April on the second floor of 10 Prince St. in Lowell, and he has been incarcerated since then. The Essex County District Attorney’s Office said at the time that police had burst into the residence after Caraballo said he would use any means necessary, including a shootout with police, to avoid being re-arrested and returned to prison. Incidents of prisoners escaping while being transported to court are “very, very rare,” Fleming said. |

Date Posted: 22:26:45 05/30/08 Fri Friday, May 30, 2008 Police raid nets pot plants, guns and a suspect Ex-correction worker charged By Kim Ring TELEGRAM & GAZETTE STAFF SPENCER— A former Department of Correction employee was arraigned yesterday on charges he was growing marijuana for sale in his Main Street apartment and had a loaded gun in his car when police raided his home earlier this month. Police allegedly found 75 fledgling marijuana plants set under grow lights in a spare bedroom, where the heat was also turned up, in Justin P. Boudreau’s apartment at 6 Main St., Apt. 6, when they conducted a raid May 18. They also allegedly found two rifles in the apartment and a loaded .40-caliber Sig Sauer handgun in the console of his unlocked car. Mr. Boudreau was arrested Wednesday night on a warrant issued by Western Worcester District Court, East Brookfield. Officers also seized letters from a female inmate at Framingham State Prison. The letters were addressed to Jeff Podine of 8 Sunset Lane, Spencer, a residence police also raided May 18. In that incident, Jeff M. Castro, 26, of that address, was arrested and charged with drug violations. Members of the Worcester County Regional Drug and Counter Crime Task Force and Spencer police conducted the investigation. Their report indicates that Jeff Podine is a fictitious name. The Web site, Urbandictionary.com, lists the word “podine” as a slang term for police. Officers also believe that the inmate’s letters may be related to another crime. “It is the belief of this officer that these letters might unfold other illegal activities taking place, stemming from the focus of this investigation,” the police report states. Inside Mr. Boudreau’s apartment, officers seized the 75 plants, a pH test kit, soil, timers and other materials they believe are related to growing the marijuana plants. Police wrote in their report that Mr. Bourdreau is an employee of the state Department of Correction. A spokesman for that agency said yesterday Mr. Boudreau is no longer working there but declined to say when, or why, his tenure there ended. At his arraignment in Western Worcester District Court in East Brookfield yesterday, Mr. Boudreau was released on personal recognizance and is slated to appear for a pretrial hearing July 16. |

Date Posted: 21:02:49 06/19/07 Tue Dear MOCOFU Members: After you read the most recent proposal agreement for the contract that expands beyond the normal 36 month period to 42 mos this is what they are offering: You take your base salary (and the proposal does not say anything about the use of overtime –and its hardly relevant anyway) e.g. Sgt step 7 @ $28.11/hr x .08 or (8%) for (9) mos and you get $3386.88. Add the $3,000 “bonus” (it is anything but a bonus more like a carrot) and you get $6386.88 as the increase over FORTYTWO MONTHS. This represents a 3,3% (you divide your total compensation e.g. $188,918.52 into the $6386.88 to get the percentage increase) increase. It is a mistake to take into account the proposed 3% that takes effect July, 8 2007. Yes ladies and gentlemen they got the language they wanted too. You might argue that we are at an impass. Well I don’t think an arbitrator would do any worse. Going down the middle we would do better at arbritration. Please tell your stewards no. Vote NO. |
