Hey Bruce, Check out this article: California prison layoff notices begin downsizing process - Sacramento News - Local and Breaking Sacramento News | Sacramento Bee How is Boston doing in this regard? Abner
I am not the one they call Bruce but I am the one who moves threads. As for the Mass Dept. of Corrections, no big headlines as far as I know. Massachusetts Department of Correction - Executive Office of Public Safety
The MA Department of Correction just graduated an academy class of 200+ new trainees, and they're in the prepatory stages of hiring another class (they're in the interview stage). The new bodies are sorely needed to address short-staffing and soaring overtime costs. MA did an unusual thing about 15 years ago; they built some new prisons, but kept all the existing ones running instead of closing them. For example, the only maximum security prison in the state used to be MCI-Cedar Junction (formerly MCI-Walpole, where the Boston Strangler was killed), but the DOC built a state-of-the-art facility called the Souza-Baranowski Coreectional Center (named after 2 corrections officers killed in an attempted escape), which is now a Level 6 super maximum security facility, and Cedar Junction/Walpole continues as a Level 5 maximum security facility Cedar Junction/Walpole - Massachusetts Correctional Institution Souza-Baranowski - Souza-Baranowski Correctional Center - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia I'd like to take a moment to tip my hat to all the corrections officers in the country. It's a tough, thankless job that I'm not sure I could do myself.
Thanks! It sounds like you guys are doing ok out there. On other note. Noboby got my joke man!!!! For the on the call Bruce..... Remember that old Kung Fu flick? The one They call Bruce Lee? :smile: Abner :smile:
I got it Man, but I figured if I said anything you would ignore me anyway. That's an oldie but a goodie. "They Call Me Bruce". That came out in the early 80's if I remember. I also think that there was a sequel as well, but I do not remember if I saw it. I was pretty young at the time, but I remember there being a lot and I mean a lot of "New" Bruce Lee's coming out in cinema. They would have actors name Bruce Li, or Bruce Le it was actually kind of comical. I still remember the first Jackie Chan movie I saw, it was called "The Big Brawl". I did not see it in the theatre but much later at a friends house who had it on VHS. I miss those fun Kung Fu movie days. Now I'm too old and jaded. But that still does not mean I cannot entertain my kids by making them watch "The Last Dragon" Who's the Master! Sho-nuff! C
Bruce. You know you are destined to crush people's heads when your parents give you that name. Me? Eh. I happen to be named after my great grandfather, Maniac James Craniac.
Sorry, I was never much into Bruce Lee films....the only martial arts movie I really liked was the parody "A Fistful of Yen", which was in Kentucky Fried Movie.
