well it seems everyone wants me to defend my opinion. one guy even "challenged" me to defend it. first off let em point out the obvious, zylak was responsible for everything that went on in the jail, correct?
from what i gather from reading newspapers and talking with my co workers, the jail was short staffed. they did not have a mental health physician on staff at the time, maybe not even now. zylak being the boss was in charge, was in charge of hiring the staff, but why didnt he hire a psychiatrist or mental counselor? i believe other jails have then and it should be a requirement considering the environment and occupants. also others jail have programs that they require their staff to complete, that teaches them how to be on the look out for suicidal inmates and how to take precautuions if one is discovered. if he was in charge, which he was, why didnt he do all this? it is HIS responsibility, and job.
there was no reason for him not to, i mean he had the budget for it.
the paper mention breifly that zylak and another person in the facility were repremanded for what happened. why didnt he come forward and be honest about what happened if he was repremanded? why did it suface now? it is a big deal that everyone should know about, especially since is campaign is centered around how "well" he ran the detention center. if it obvious he cannot run a small jail, then how, pray tell, does he expect to run a county? do we want a "leader' that doesnt even take repsonsibility for his own actions? one that afraid of his mistakes?
from what i've heard the boy was displaying tell talle signs of depression. a couple of the staff members noted this behavior and asked that he be on suicide watch. zylak needs to approve the switch from normal watch to suicide watch but he refused to do it fdor some reason. why? if someone is displaying signs of depression and talking about suicide shouldnt they put him on some special watch? especially if he had a history of mental illness. so we can assume that zylak knew about his mental health before and after he refused to put him on suicide watch.
also with this young man speaking of suicide and stuff, why did he have shoe laces in the first place. i would also assume that the staff should've taken the initiative and removed them from his possesion as well.
my point is simple, zylak is not a good leader, the evidence speaks for itself.
