Yes, to much that is below.  Nolan Espinda is head of corrections and ought not to allow this.   But he himself is incompetent to lead a modern, fair system.   He has made irresponsible (if not actually ignorant) comments about furlough inmates who abscond.   He does not seem to be concerned that state of the art recidivism reduction and reentry approaches are available and not even rocket science to implement.   I was part of a citizens' group that was required to endorse and then help implement such a program with the parole department in another state.

Also.  I just read that a woman named Shelley Nobriga had to resign a high position in the department after her romantic relationships (and children) with Espinda and another high ranking prison official were publicized.  Both Espinda and the head of DOT made inane remarks in their handling of the situation when security at the airport became front page news.   Both need to find a new line of work.
