We had perfectly working prisons already what about the homeless people a billion dollars on another building the world makes me sick
Hey Lucita, you know what would happen if the Road Home was 'expanded'?.. A few decades ago, when my family arrived from Southern California, Salt Lake County had an estimated 300 homeless and hardly none anywhere else. ...guess how many there is today??
You know what government bodies need to do is set stricter regulations on alcohol like 'having to scan an ID each and every time someone buys alcohol, and have it there be a limit on how much an individual can purchase in a 24 hour period' - according to their weight, size, and age. And their criminal background.
The US military has to go deep into Mexican States, Durango, Michoacan, Jalisco, etc.. and purge that country of all those rats like they have done during war time across seas. Those cartels are nothing compared to Natzis, Vietnam, Sadam Hussain, the Korean War, Osama bin laddin...
Maybe we won't have to build so many prisons here in Utah. 😁
They plan to put the homeless there and make them work
They made it for homeless..
Bet the pay doesn't match the stress, better give me 6 figures to deal with that mess 😂
A poet I see.
@Titan's Husky Life haha didn't mean to be cheesy. seriously though I bet they make 40-50k
@@SureShotX81I believe they make around $30 which ain’t enough for me to work there.
Agreed, I wouldn't want to deal with the negativity of a place day in and day out. You probably will get assaulted at some point.
@@kojackMintzwish Me luck 😂 pay starts at 98k
What a scam
A lot of people made a lot of money off this. Funny how there is no investigation into the corruption and fraud that took place securing the extra funds that went into the pockets of the high up Mormon contractors.
Then what do you call what the SEC did?
Yeah ok. I’m sure Mormons are to blame. Get a life and a hobby.
Imagine if that Billion was spent on rehabilitation and not bars?
We have a prisons for profit system here that needs to change.
@@SympatheticNightmare I just did you Momo.
You made an extremely uninformed comment.
@@SympatheticNightmare I just did. Not paying attention.
Better pay and benefits are needed to attract and retain staff. Also, having worked in corrections facilities as a nurse, I have witnessed how “guards” are treated by inmates as well as how they are viewed in the public eye. There is no respect and inmates run the show-then guards are reprimanded when something goes wrong. Inmates have too much control and at times too many rights. I’ve witnessed the way the officers are treated even by PD as PD are bringing them inmates. I have respect for PD also, but I think PD forgets that COs lives are also in danger within those walls and all they are armed with is mace. I wouldn’t encourage my kids to be a CO.
What's the pay for Co?
@@stevek343 likely depends on the state you live in, but in 2015-2017 when I lived in Maine, the COs were only making somewhere between $13.75-18.00/ hr if I remember correctly. They had better benefits than I did as a nurse, for sure, but it still did not seem worth it to me. A lot of COs had left one of the facilities I had worked at because of mandatory OT and unsafe ratio of inmates to officers. I know there is currently legal actions due to officers putting in their OT and not being paid appropriately. I do not know what the current wages are, but I’m assuming they have not gone up in an appropriate proportion to the inflation.
Also the BILLIONS spent in taxes on this prison, already has foundation issues Ie. it’s sinking into the salt flats lol
Great planning guys
I could work there if I hadn't got into so much trouble when I was younger. I did help lay the foundations with Layton Co. though. ...I have no felonies, I wonder if I can still make corrections, officer
Yes you can apply
I was there last month and saw a 18 year old kid watching units lol
Was that one inmate on a phone in his cell in the last few seconds of the report?
Negative. That is a prisoner tablet. Confined to only state approved applications.
Weird how on my channel.. I blew the whistle on this a month ago
Looks nice, can't wait to check in.
Maybe you could do a 30 year long test run first before deciding to do the rest of it without parole? 🤔
What a waste of money. They can't get people to staff it, they have the ship people from st George that they force to work here because people are leaving in droves! It is literally sink into the ground as well... It will cost 10 of millions more to repair
Attacking a corrections officer should be instant death penalty. Prison should be like Alcatraz back in the day. No TVs, no computers, give them access to read books and nothing else. You break the law you lose all rights.
Lol
couldnt agree more. at that point they should have no mercy. its just a waist of space
Your a idiot. I’ve seen that other side and was wrongly convicted. One day you will get your side for talking in a negative manner
Not if the correctional officer is being oppressing the inmates.
You have correctional officers "accidentally" opening two rival gang members door to watch them fight and sometimes betting on who wins.
Oh well
a billion later and it’s sinking lol
We still didn't see if its decent living in there
It isn't my son is disabled he has hearing devices and they took away his seizure medicine he was approved for ADA services he needs help reading and writing but they won't help with what he needs help with, the prison won't allow his Dr for his hearing aids to send a new charger for them, there's a hepatitis C outbreak they don't quarrentine inmates and they pay for their medical my son has had his TV stolen he buys brand new shirts, towels they steal from him, it makes the prison look like they have an in house theft ring going on. There's more it hurts my heart, if I treated my son like that I'd be in jail. This is wrong, their civil rights are being violated 😢
Dang !!
What’s the pay I’ll apply if the money is right
18-20/hr
Try 28-30$ starting
Put my app in already
Any one here working as correctional in this prison ? I would like to apply.
I do
@@garymijangos9403 how is working there?

They need to follow the example from Black Dolphin in Russia
Here is an ideah let the prisoners watch themselfs and eachother modern tech and medication and alittle crulety for repeat violent life offenders place might run itselfs for the most part
Berner420
😂😂😂
Well maybe it's hopeful maybe people have decided they don't like to be labeled as psychotic law enforcement especially in a psychotic prison system most of the people that go there don't even commit real crimes no one's ever harmed it's all a big financial scam these people make me sick that do this and a billion dollars please
I would comment on this, but it's hard to know where to start. Your comment is a lengthy run-on sentence with no coherent points. Could you rephrase please and add some punctuation marks to make whatever you're trying to argue easier to follow?
Nah man, they definitely are in there for real crimes. First hand knowledge.
