Brawl puts Chad, system under scrutiny
Two unnamed staffers at N.A. Chaderjian Youth Correctional Facility near Stockton are under investigation after an alleged fight with a ward Jan. 21, a California Correctional Peace Officers Association spokesman confirmed Thursday. […]
CCPOA spokesman Lance Corcoran confirmed the probe into the alleged Jan. 21 fight, but he declined to name the two staffers or give details of the incident. He was critical of state prison officials, who oversee the state's Division of Juvenile Justice, including Chad. "True to form by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, after a correctional officer is viciously assaulted, it appears they are trying to blame the staff member for it," Corcoran said. "This was a 20-year-old ward who assaulted a staff member."
