CARSON CITY, NEVADA - Officers at the Nevada State Prison have left about one-thousand leaflets at surrounding homes, warning that the Carson City facility poses a threat to the community. The action reflects ongoing problems between prison management and staff that began early this year. More than 100 employees rallied outside the prison gate in April. The flier says more dangerous inmates are being moved in, and a May fight left an inmate injured and the prison locked down for a week. State prisons spokesman Fritz Schlottman says the facility is safe and neighbors need not worry. Tensions between staff and management have grown since Glen Whorton was appointed corrections director and Bill Donat was selected prison warden last year. The State of Nevada Employees Asociation, which represents officers, says the new administration has eliminated some programs designed to help inmates, and made changes that affected officers without consulting them. |
