State Senator Mike Nozzolio is calling for the immediate resignation of New York State Office of Children and Family Services Commissioner Gladys Carrion for sanctioning an inappropriate and illegal taxpayer-funded sex party at a juvenile prison in which at least one underage girl and a suspected prostitute were brought in to perform inappropriate sexual acts on inmates.
“There must be zero tolerance for this shocking and outrageous incident being allowed to occur,” said Senator Nozzolio. “During these difficult economic times, while our hardworking taxpayers are struggling to make ends meet, it is simply unconscionable that taxpayer dollars are being wasted on outrageous, inappropriate and illegal entertainment for violent felons.”
Senator Nozzolio will also be participating in a hearing at the State Capitol to further investigate the incident as a member of the Special Legislative Task Force on Reform of the New York State Juvenile Justice System.
Currently, there are three State agency investigations into the incident, which took place at an outlandish "social" for prisoners at the Goshen Secure Center in Orange County in December of 2009. Girls as young as 15 were transported into the prison to attend the dance with convicted killers and other dangerous criminals. A lap dance was videotaped by a surveillance camera and other sexual acts possibly were committed.
One prison employee said that he was ordered to drive two women invited to the dance in a state car from a street corner in Albany to Goshen and back -- a distance of 230 miles round trip.
“It is abhorrent that teenage girls-some underage -were escorted at taxpayers' expense into youth prisons that house convicted murderers and other violent offenders. It is equally appalling that an event like this was ever allowed to take place in a State facility, but the fact that taxpayer money was used to pay for it is simply unconscionable” said Senator Nozzolio. “We are demanding that Commissioner Carrion answer for allowing this outrageous abuse of our State’s juvenile justice system to take place.”
The hearing will also investigate reports of violent youths being released prematurely into less secure settings where they have murdered and viciously assaulted community members, and of numerous attacks by youths against OCFS personnel in State facilities.
Last June, 24-year-old Renee Greco, an employee at a community youth home in Lockport was brutally beaten to death by two teenage residents who had been prematurely released from more secure State facilities.
In February 2009, 23-year-old Rochester Police Officer Anthony DiPonzio was shot in the head by a juvenile who had escaped from a private residential community placement facility.
A worker at the State-operated Tryon Residential Center in Johnstown, New York suffered a stroke and died a month after he was struck in the head with a wooden club by a youth.
The Task Force was formed to address a growing concern by community members, youth facility staff, and law enforcement officials that newly implemented policies set forth by OCFS are the reason for the recent spike in youth violence. The New York State Assembly recently released a report that found OCFS workplace injury rates are among the highest of any State agency, and that Commissioner Carrion and the OCFS administration have neglected workplace safety as part of the agency's policy changes which has increasingly put staff at risk.
“The new policies at OCFS that have been implemented by Commissioner Carrion are clearly more concerned with providing luxuries to convicted criminals than protecting the staff at these facilities and taxpayer dollars. Because of the Commissioner's irresponsible and ineffective policy changes, crime rates will undoubtedly increase and the safety of our communities will be jeopardized. We must correct these dangerous mistakes before another tragedy occurs. It is clear that Commissioner Carrion must step down,” concluded Senator Nozzolio.
Is this a gag?
I should have known better
You can retire now, John.
If this isn’t a gag, then I guess we’ll see juvenile offenders committing crimes and lining up to get into these facilities for their share of the free sex parties.
Carrion baggage.

Paterson offers sanctuary to chief
The governor rejected calls made Wednesday for the immediate resignation of Gladys Carrion for the failure of her "therapeutic" or "sanctuary" model of dealing with juvenile offenders.
"I think she's actually done an excellent job," Paterson said.
So if the economy was booming, it would be A-OK then?
Oh, I see, this is only a problem because the sexual acts performed on the inmates were inappropriate. Damned bureaucraps, sleeping on the job again: get with it folks, whip out a manual deliniating those sexual acts which are appropriate to perform on inmates so that this never happens again.
One prison employee said that he was ordered to drive two women invited to the dance in a state car from a street corner in Albany to Goshen and back -- a distance of 230 miles round trip.
Sounds like a long trip...how much you want to bet that they stopped at least once on the way back? To fill up the gas tank, of course. Seriously, I wonder how much this guy had to pay to receive that "order."
As Bob Grant used to say, "Its sick out there, and getting sicker every day."
One way to know your life has spiralled out of control?
You willingly go to a prison to perform sex acts on strangers/criminals.
From the article in the link....
Edward Borges, a spokesman for the Office of Children & Family Services, said Carrion will serve through the end of her term in December. But the socials are over. “The experiment is on moratorium,” Borges said.
How very reassuring... Obviously a “sans-logic” experiment...
“GAG” is not a good word to use when discussing this topic.
Is this the first time Rhonda Shears was “UP ALL NIGHT”?
Just when I think people can’t get any more stupid...they are.
