Going Rogue

What is “Going Rogue”” really mean to you


Politics adds new words and new phrases every time we have an election or campaign that attempts to expose or revile a person’s personality, reputation or points of view. Although not very positive in characteristics this practice has been condoned and accepted now for many decades thus a matter of record if one chooses to enter the political arena. The most obvious ““rogue”” is Sarah Palin who in her own words writing a book that describes her “story” as an American and dedicated, devoted, loyal and spirited individual who does not back away from a controversy and speaks loud and clear on matters that are important to her and her family. Her conviction is strong and must be acknowledged by those who resent her ethics, energy and motivation to spur others to think for themselves.

It is a given that once you decide to challenge the system on any topic or matter of interest, you are instantly targeted to be destroyed or decimated to a lower standard than those who oppose your points of view or spirit. Digging into your background for mischievous conduct, controversial statements, or even marital or personal relationship questions, they are desperately focused to bury you in your own history and deflect their flaws towards your direction to get you to address your own issues rather than theirs.

Some say a “rogue” person is a mischievous person or someone who stopped or ceased to follow orders that contradict their training or previous position in an organization. Going against other’s expectations and direction not to proceed with your own agenda is often considered a direction to pursue one’s own personal interests or ideas. The word ‘mischievous” is most appropriate as it is not a criminal position but rather an ill-behaved or unacceptable behavior that offends others. In this particular case, it might be your former boss, organization or peer group. Regardless, it is not criminal in nature and could be considered both playful and manipulated to achieve a goal.

A “rogue” may be a deceitful or unscrupulous person in manner or he or she can be honest and attempting to bring out the truth about subject matter that others are trying to hide thus discredit you by labeling you as a “disgruntled” former employee completely disregarding the fact that before you went ““rogue”” you were an acceptable partner in their business like conduct as you conformed to their standards and their expectations. A "rogue" can be a former partner in a business who worked side by side and learned the intimate makings of the business and when he or she decides to go off and start their own business, their former partners fear the competition and smear this person with labels that they think will cause him or her failure and defeat their business attempts to go on their own.

It has been said a “rogue” person keeps bad company. It appears that many times, a “rogue” is in the company of many good people who have the overall good for the masses in mind rather that the good for a few. Such principles are admirable and should be encouraged rather than condemned. Thus we agree that a “rogue” person is an individual who may or may not be politically correct. He or she may produce positivity influences or be regarded as a disruptive negative manipulated persuasion on other’s thinking. Finally, a “rogue” could be a person who switched sides and perceived to be no longer on the same side as they were once thought to be for reasons known the persons but that others are unwilling to accept.

Whether a “rogue” or a non-conformist, your goal is to make people think about the issues you bring forth for discussion and deliberation. This is still the American way to find the truth on matters that are often deeply hidden and kept from the many to serve a few.

For instance if there is an administrator, an accountant, an officer or an individual [group] who is said to go “rogue”. It means that he or she [they] is no longer following the original plan and they decided to follow their own plan that none of his superiors have approved. If the initial plan was to follow Plan A or even Plan B as a back-up and the administrator does something that is completely unrelated to the two plans then he is perceived to go “rogue”. It becomes unsure which side the good side is now because he or she is following their own plan. He or she becomes unpredictable and their actions are spontaneous. Their ethics are questioned by those offended but are applauded by those who benefit from the item for consideration delivered to balance the environment.

ADOC policies and procedures

Whenever we read the websites of governmental agencies we always find links that show their policies and procedures. Looking at the basics we find that objectives are shorter steps formulated in an incremental manner to help agencies meet their goals. For one particular public agency, the Department of Corrections, public safety motives its policies. Then as we level off their perspective on this concept we move on to those other reasons for performing to those expectations that result in a safe and secure prison environment, sound custodial practices of those inmates incarcerated, productive measures to allow inmates to be prepared for the release into the community and further motivation to follow state laws and regulations related to safe practices and efficient training programs.

Glancing at one such policies, one can only suspect that the primary goal is to attain substantial compliance with such policies that exist for those purposes stated above and how they are evaluated and reported to the Director for any action necessary to improve their services or methods of operational effectiveness to justify their funding and their purpose to the public and chief executive of the state.

It appears however, where there are incompetent humans in charge of ensuring compliance, these policies are usually communicated ineffectively and seldom understood thoroughly enough to provide the intended purpose or goal of the policy. As a result, policy is usually communicated ineffectively and seldom understood thoroughly by most of the targeted individuals that include managers and subordinates.

Distraction from established policies and procedures can quickly create and become a new standard of operating and essentially evolve into a different practice that was intended to be the practice or procedure as written upon conceptual and visionary thinking. Although contrary to those written guidelines contained within the policy written this metamorphosis takes place often and results in inconsistencies noted during these audits.

Ever since the horrific prison escape from the Kingman prison, the agency has focused on its readiness, standards of security awareness and effectiveness and staff being compliant with those security policies in place to prevent another such disastrous event. Today, I am unsure just how much of that goal we have accomplished and how much more work is to be done to be where the policies and procedures developed wanted the agency to go.

Today, I have proof there are just as many "flaw" inside state prisons that resemble those in the Kingman escape but won't release them for I need to articulate the comparison to show how badly ADOC follows its own policies, ignores the faults and continues to operate like they rogue agency they are.
