No matter how many stipends, how many promises to add staff or
how many times Charles Ryan promises to make things better for correctional
officers, the facts reveals he actually accomplishes just the opposite of what he
reveled or bragged about. Officers and administrators in the know are dubbing
him the lesser of the two evils dividing their fears between the gangster
prisoners and his administrative rule of law.
Although he has been awarded positive accolades by Governor
Janet Brewer, the facts reveal he is a pure proxy for the Republican intentions
for private prisons in Arizona and does anything to engage the profit margin
for them.Why is Ryan more evil? What makes him such a threat to those that
differ with his opinion or management style? The truth is in his management of the
prisons as he has been more effective in evil doings than anybody else before
him including Dora Schriro and Terry Stewart. Pretty soon his evilness will
even outdo himself as he has been hired to do nothing good and everything destructive
to state prisons and state employees.
As a change agent for specific GOP legislators, Ryan has
protected the citadels of state government bribed by the lobbyist to build more
prisons and rent more bed space than ever before. He has created the private
prison industry as a powerhouse that influences legislation for almost
everything under the sun in the Arizona desert. Almost every piece of legislation
has impacted how Ryan runs the prisons and keeps them full with discontent and
hate making it more necessary to pass stricter laws that keeps the prosecutors
content to put people in penitentiaries for the sake of public safety.
Public prisons are dying and falling apart under Ryan. Thus through
his ineffective means to run the public prisons he has bolstered the need for
private prisons making stockholders happy and gratified. This was Wall Street’s
expectation by ALEC and other groups pushing for more incarceration laws. They were
buying stocks and betting Arizona public prisons would fail and privates would
expand and they made out like bandits.
Charles Ryan has protected the private industry’s interest
in medical care, food service, telephone and commissary services and did this
by accepting all litigation as the agent of harm. The fact is that the Attorney
General’s office is busy daily with lawsuits that rarely meet the light of a
courtroom and a jury thus the risk as low as are the out of court settlements
that reflect rare guilt and rare neglect in their summary judgments ordered.
This hedge protection is effectively created by the way Ryan
hires his own legal attorneys to steer the AG’s office into the right direction
and accept their evidence as factual even though it may have been fabricated or
altered in some form or matter.
Governor Brewer’s Chief of Staff and closest advisors vetted
Ryan. Before he came back from Abu Ghraib as a contract employee for the
government he was already being groomed for the director’s spot before Dora Schriro
even left office and Janet Napolitano took the job at homeland security. They helped
him against political accusation about Abu Ghraib and their disastrous revelation
of abuse and neglect. They backed him then and they are backing him now to keep
him in that office.
Who is the most effective evil and what has he done? It has
been assumed from the moment he arrived he had good intentions. His promises
were for better training, more staff and pay and better prison management
principles. In fact he held many prevailing warden’s meetings and conversations
that were really based on facts but on personal intentions to change the
agency. This assumption he is trying to do the right thing has saved him many
times in the minds of his subordinates who began to support him even though his
intentions were evil. The fact is that Ryan will do whatever he wants to do or
intents to do now and tomorrow.
Ryan has let staff down in many ways. He has taken away from
them their covered employee classification and makes them serve at will so they
can be terminated at any moment of their service. He stripped them all of
their dignity, respect and promotional opportunities
for those qualified and changed the investigative process into a witch hunt for
those identified to be undesirables as they do not fit the profile of those
running the show and holding coveted positions of power and authority invested
and empowered by Ryan himself.
Anyone that criticizes practices, supervisory methods,
staffing patterns, or investigative means is targeted and let go. Employees
fear the falsely accused method commonly used by investigators that set up
staff on the word of prisoners that they are ‘dirty ‘ and dealing with the
inmate population although there is no sound or proper evidence to support
that.
He is more effective as an evil because he has allowed
persons to die inside his prison and masked or disguised the death as a natural
one or a certain “other causes” death that is rarely challenged. In fact,
between the Governor’s office and the United States Department of Justice, they
have allowed him to get away with murder.
Murder in the delay of medical care and prevention of
serious diseases, murder of those mentally ill and killing themselves as they
struggle to cope without the right medication or the withholding of medicine because
of budget constraints. Murder by violence of rampant gang attacks and beat
downs that have created racial tension and warfare inside all the state
prisons. Murder by the refusal to provide protective custody to those
requesting safety because their crime, their sexual orientation or their former
gang association is hampering their abilities to cope and function in general
populations.
Murder in the form of failing to hold contract facilities to the minimal security standards, resulting in the deaths of innocent civilians
The real Charles L. Ryan emerged after his official
appointment in 2010. He has provoked an unannounced racial war, destroyed the
inmate classification system and reduced meaningful inmate activities to the
point inmates are fighting each other for the good job and people are picked by
race and gang influences rather than skills. He dressed up this cover up by
creating his own inner circle of cronyism that would convey and obey each and
every order from him.
When it’s all said and done, Ryan is not the lesser of the
evil in the agency. Ryan is more dangerous that all the gang bangers combined
as he holds the key to safe and secure prisons that provide legitimate responsibilities
for public safety.
