Our statement on Gov. Shapiro’s proposal to close two prisons and two community corrections centers:

[Eugene DePasquale @DePasqualePA]

In the fight for workers rights, safe workplaces will always be a top priority. This is especially true for the men and women who work in our correctional facilities. They deserve an Attorney General who has their backs.

I'm proud to have @PA_SCOA on #TeamEugene and am looking forward to taking their reform recommendations to the highest law enforcement office in the commonwealth.

"We don't need to be creative. Let's look at what our neighbors are doing and provide the best incentives in the marketplace, raise salaries, and bring common sense to the benefits structure."

Your @CorrectionsPA Dept. is down nearly 1000 employees because the job market is so competitive. Instead of increasing wages to hire more staff and make prisons safer — you’re wasting people’s time with political BS. BTW, three years ago at this time there were 95 vacancies.
