State officials are investigating charges that cafeteria workers at the state police headquarters had sex with a female inmate assigned there on a work release program. The cafeteria workers are civilian employees, not sworn officers, the Boston Globe reported. The workers have been suspended. State law prohibits Department of Correction employees or the department's contractors from having sex with prisoners, said Leslie Walker, executive director of Massachusetts Correctional Legal Services, which represents prisoners. Major Marian McGovern, a spokeswoman for the State Police, declined comment, except to say that "it's allegations." Two state police officers who asked not to be identified told the Globe the workers are suspected of having sex with a prisoner or prisoners in a storage closet near the cafeteria kitchen. The inmate or inmates involved were participating in the work-release program operated at South Middlesex Correctional Center, a minimum-security facility next to the state prison in Framingham, according to the Department of Correction. Officials temporarily closed the cafeteria after the allegations. Framingham headquarters houses the office of Colonel Thomas G. Robbins, superintendent of the agency, and the state police command staff. In all, about 100 employees work in the building. |
