But carpal is repetitive. I can’t see how the guards spend their whole day locking/unlocking/locking/unlocking. I think Ill is the land of wimps and crooks - clearly hiring criteria for prison guards. They would make fine presidential material as well.
I have a relative who had been in Menard (inmate) for almost 20 years, has since moved to a different IDOC facility. He said this is the most bogus and corrupt situation, that there is no way the guards and employees can have the so-called injuries they claim to have. The warden and nurse, for example, really do not open and close the gates as some of the COs would, but they are on claim.
Meanwhile, IL cannot pay the bills for the food to feed the inmates.
Prison wardens, too.
The warden, Dave Rednour, collected a $75,678 work comp award in June.
Apparently, just watching his guards lock and unlock prison cells can also cause "repetitive trauma". Sympathy pains, I suppose...
