No, they had to hire EXTRA guards to perform the work these guys should have been doing.
THOUSANDS. For four trips, I believe.
I see your point. I worked at a very large maximum security prison back in the 70’s. It’s usually the correctional officers who work overtime (time & 1/2 pay) that gets these type of assignments. The regular shift guys already have their assigned work details. This definately was expensive to the taxpayer. I think the family ought to pay something.
