Sounds like when I worked at Enterprise. Most of our customers belonged at Rikers too.

Jails and prisons get the worst funding. Almost all of them are on 12 hour shifts with not enough workers. No wonder our prisons are so corrupt could you imagine this guy going through all that bs and then having to go the extra mile while working and giving af. I know I wouldnt

Raking in all that OT

By law they’re not supposed to work more than 16 hours a day. Did I miss something?

Must be due to being understaffed... can't be due to a growing prison population as there's not much that's illegal anymore in New York.

I doubt he's working all 100 hours. Most of that time is just sitting around.

Worked 3700 hours of overtime in 5 months for THE MONEY. They are not being forced to work 100. They are choosing to.

No one forced to work those hours. Could this be fraud

Unsung heroes of law enforcement

More victims of failed Dem policies…

Overworked for falsifying ot like police officers to bump pay?

Don't they have a couple empty cells they could use?
