#GOODWORK Progress Michigan Now your organization might want to look into a over-familiarization on-going lawsuit from Male C/Os stemming from the early 2000s. Particularity, about the lost of Overtime, Assignments and Benefits due to a lawsuit which paid out a group of Female Prisoners millions of taxpayer dollars --- and how ironically the State of Michigan continues to deny Male C/Os who were nowhere involved in the lawsuit or allegations Overtime, Benefits and Assignment pay to this day. A Class Action Lawsuit recently was approved on behalf of the Male C/Os. Think about that with the ironic nature of the Snyder Administration cancelling fines for Aramark Correctional Food Services for --- Over-Familiarization issues. Interesting, indeed..... Independent Underground News & Talk The Michigan Department of Corrections canceled a $98,000 fine against Aramark Correctional Services months before the Snyder administration announced another $200,000 fine for the private prison food vendor. An MDOC spokesperson on Thursday told The Detroit Free Press that the original fine, levied in March for various contract violations involving meals and improper contact with inmates, “never was paid.” The acknowledgement followed the release of an email thread between Gov. Rick Snyders Chief of Staff Dennis Muchmore and MDOC Director Dan Heyns, who wrote on March 13 that he would “tone down my attack dogs, delay or cancel any fines and give Aramark time to solve the problems.” The emails, obtained by Progress Michigan through a Freedom of Information Act request, began with Muchmore forwarding a news story about lawmaker concerns with violations by Aramark, which won a three-year $145 million contract with the state in late 2013. “Do you feel you’ve got this under control?” Muchmore asked, suggesting the “attacks” were initiated by union groups, ostensibly upset that the state privatized a service previously performed in-house. A subsequent email from Muchmore was redacted by the state, according to Progress Michigan, before Heyns said he would cancel any fines. “We were concerned about losing control of a joint and told them repeatedly with no improvement,” Heyns wrote. “Our corrective action was too harsh.” The original fines, detailed in a series of letters from MDOC to Aramark earlier this year, were expected to be paid within 30 days. Up until this week, it was not known that MDOC canceled the fines. mlive/lansing-news/index.ssf/2014/09/michigan_corrections_cancelled.html#incart_river
