Snydersville facility now commanded by No. 4 man after latest leadership shake-up By David Pierce Pocono Record Writer March 12, 2009 STROUDSBURG — The suspended warden and captain at the Monroe County Correctional Facility have resigned, the county Prison Board announced Wednesday afternoon. Warden David Mauro and Capt. Owen Thomas submitted resignation letters effective Feb. 27, the date they were suspended without pay pending investigation of a personnel issue at the Snydersville jail. The suspensions came the day after Thomas allegedly uttered a disparaging remark about a corrections officer to Mauro while in the lunchroom, several people with ties to the prison say privately. According to some accounts, Thomas said of the officer: "What a waste of a uniform." The remark was overheard by another corrections officer, some say, adding that Thomas warned that officer not to repeat what had been heard. The prison board adjourned into private session Tuesday morning to discuss personnel issues — presumably the fates of Mauro and Thomas — for one hour and 45 minutes, before recessing their regular meeting for a day. Board members refused to say if they used the recess to issue an ultimatum that the officials resign or be fired. Board members refused to comment on any aspect of what happened, other than to acknowledge Mauro and Thomas were suspended but have now resigned. Jim Fareri, the prison board's attorney, agreed with board members that they are legally prohibited from commenting on personnel matters. "They resigned, and I don't think the board can comment on them," Fareri said. Monroe County Commissioner Donna Asure, who is chairwoman of the prison board, did say that Mauro's background as a prison official in Morris County, N.J., probably wasn't the right fit for the Monroe facility. Mauro was the fourth warden here in less than two years, three of them hired following charges that seven prison employees engaged in illegal sex with inmates. "He was only there a month as deputy warden" before being named to the top job last July "so I don't know if we saw every side of Mr. Mauro," Asure said. Thomas, who was the third-ranking official at the prison, was hired a year ago this month after a lengthy career at the Rikers Island detention center in New York City. Read more.
