Corrections officers' union slams Gov. Whitmer, demands she send National Guard to ease staffing shortages

The president of the union representing corrections officers in the state of Michigan has called on Democrat Gov. Gretchen Whitmer to bring in members of the National Guard to ease staffing shortages at state prisons.In a letter dated July 3, Byron Osborn, the president of Michigan Corrections Organization, laid out his members' plight, claiming that lengthy shifts and forced overtime have prevented officers from "a normal, healthy life with their families."'It's just a matter of time before someone gets seriously hurt or killed.'Osborn also blamed Whitmer — who once supported the "spirit" of efforts to defund police — for ignoring the problem. "Under your watch, state corrections officers continue to suffer unlike any other state employees ever have in the history of Michigan," he wrote."None of your other state employees are being subjected to these conditions."Osborn also elaborated on the "dangerous" conditions at the state prisons, implying that Whitmer and other state leaders may have a distorted view of day-to-day life at correctional facilities."Contrary to what is commonly conveyed to the public, the state prisons are not pleasant facilities filled with well-treated officers that are churning out rehabilitated prisoners," Osborn said.Instead, prisons are often overrun by gangs and "coddled" prisoners while officers are hamstrung by protocols issued by the Michigan Department of Corrections that limit "prisoner discipline" and use of segregation measures such as solitary confinement, Osborn said.Osborn then invited Whitmer to visit the prisons and experience for herself the grueling conditions there. "I’ll gladly escort you inside several of your prisons so you can speak directly with your corrections officers, not the administration," Osborn said.According to the Detroit Free Press, Michigan has approximately 33,000 state inmates dispersed among 26 different facilities. Of those, about half have a staffing shortage of 20% and about one-fifth have a shortage above 30%, Osborn alleged, often because of attrition."People are resigning in droves," Osborn claimed.In 2022, Osborn mentioned the idea of bringing in the National Guard to address the shortage issues but stopped short of calling for it. Now, he says his members have reached the "point of desperation.""On behalf of all the state corrections officers represented by our organization, I am formally requesting that you activate the Michigan National Guard to provide immediate custody support to prisons in dire need of it while we work directly with you to find realistic, permanent relief measures," he said.Members of the National Guard were deployed to Michigan prisons several years ago to assist with COVID vaccinations. Should they be deployed in a security capacity, they likely will not be carrying weapons since most correctional officers in Michigan are not armed, though they have access to firearms for emergency use.In any case, Whitmer and other state officials seem disinclined to acquiesce to Osborn's request for the National Guard. Though a spokesperson from her office did not respond to the Free Press' request for comment, MDOC claimed that the issue requires permanent solutions, not "temporary" fixes such as "National Guard members who have not been trained to operate in this environment.""The Department and other stakeholders need to remain focused on efforts that can stabilize staffing in the long term, including promoting the benefits of a career in corrections," MDOC's statement continued. "These include having an active role in keeping their communities safe, serving in a role that can change lives, and the ability to reach annual maximum pay of $68,500 after just three and a half years of service."But Osborn hopes leaders will reconsider the idea. "It's just a matter of time before someone gets seriously hurt or killed," he said.Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox.

Joe Biden’s debate disaster sparks Joy Reid and Rachel Maddow MELTDOWNS

Conservatives may acknowledge the stark differences between men and women, but liberals are doing the best job of demonstrating it — especially in the aftermath of President Joe Biden’s disastrous performance on the debate stage. While liberal men’s responses have been mostly based on logic, their female counterparts have responded illogically and emotionally. Rachel Maddow’s most recent meltdown is a prime example. “I really did not expect that they would do this, and they, you know, Donald Trump and his council asked for this 100% absolute immunity thing which was insane, I would say they got 105% of what they were asking for. They got immunity from this court,” Maddow said, before going entirely off the rails on “hypotheticals.” “Can the president assassinate a rival? I think we have to look at the Supreme Court’s affirmative to that, yes, you can,” she remarked. “I mean, this is a death squad ruling.” “This is a president who has activated pro-Trump military groups, that you know, wear insignia and T-shirts and hold placards celebrating literally right-wing death squads. This is a president who has talked about absolutely using the Department of Justice to go after his rivals. This explicitly immunizes anything the president wants to do through the justice department.” Jason Whitlock is well aware that what Maddow just asserted is ridiculous. “Women bow to logic and reason just the same way as men,” Whitlock mocks. “No, they don’t.” “Nor should they,” he continues. “It’s not what they were built for. They get pregnant and carry another human being in their womb for 9 months at a time. Once a month, they have a menstrual cycle that really messes with their hormones and emotions and we think, ‘Oh yeah, let’s put them on equal political footing with men, let’s install them on every TV show and every talk show in America. Let’s completely feminize the situation.” Maddow isn’t alone in her delusion, as Joy Reid has also responded with a clear lack of logic to the events of the past couple of weeks. “Donald John Trump cannot be allowed back into the White House,” Reid said in a selfie video posted to social media. “If you combine that mad man with this court, two of whose members are insurrectionists, one of whom flew an upside down flag at his home and blamed it on his wife, who’s also crazy.” “The other of whom’s wife literally was part of the insurrection,” she continued. “They ruled on this with no shame.” “They are kings and Trump is king. You put him in the White House, combined with this court and a Republican House and Senate, we’re done, y’all. All the rights that were won in the 20th century, the hard-earned rights of women, laborers, workers, the rights of children,” she said but didn’t stop there. “They are trying to repeal the entire 20th century,” she continued, “If you don’t think they’re coming for all these rights, then you are delusional.” “This is a nut job,” Whitlock responds, shocked.

Wildaria is like Terraria and Stardew Valley, but in an infinite world

Terraria remains one of the best and most satisfying RPGs I’ve ever played. But by design it’s always been confined to a finite world size, in order to carefully structure your progression and the location of all its key pieces. Taking that sandbox core and combining it with the sprawling, unlimited world exploration of Minecraft, plus a Stardew Valley aesthetic, indie RPG Wildaria is four years in the making, and you can try it right now for free on Steam.

Amazon’s Fire HD 10 tablet is nearly 50 percent off for Prime members

Just don’t expect it to rival an iPad in terms of functionality. | Image: Amazon Let’s face it: Apple’s slates seem to get all the attention when talking tablets (and understandably so). However, you don’t necessarily need to spend $1,000 on an iPad Pro or even $350 on an entry-level model if all you need is a cheap entertainment device for watching The Boys, reading, or burning through your latest audiobook. Amazon’s latest Fire HD 10 tablet will get the job done for a lot less — especially since it’s currently on sale for Amazon Prime subscribers for an all-time low of $74.99 ($65 off) in its ad-supported base configuration. The 2023 Fire HD 10 isn’t going to blow you away with an OLED display or a laundry list of premium features, though it is a step up from some of Amazon’s low-end models. The inexpensive tablet...

Amazon Kindle book downloads are broken

Photo by Sheena Vasani / The Verge An ongoing outage is preventing Amazon Kindle users from downloading both new and previously purchased books to their e-readers. According to moderators responding to users reporting the issue on Amazon’s support forums, the company is aware of the issue and is “currently working to resolve it.” Attempting other troubleshooting steps, like resetting the device, has not fixed the problems, so users may need to wait this one out for now. Good e-Reader reported the problem on Wednesday, noting a response from Amazon support saying it’s the result of “server issues” and that “it would be at least 48 hours before ebooks started downloading again, but it could be longer.” The Verge has contacted Amazon for details, and we will update this post...

Google might fix its fingerprint scanner woes with the Pixel 9

It should be less of a farce to unlock the next generation of Google Pixel phones. | Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge Google’s upcoming Pixel 9 lineup will reportedly feature a faster, more reliable ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, according to Android Authority. It would replace the optical under-display fingerprint sensor that Google introduced on the Pixel 6 with the newer technology that’s capable of reading even wet or oily fingerprints. The switch could also address some of the widespread issues that users have experienced when trying to unlock their Pixel devices, with some people saying that light levels and finger dryness can impact the reliability of the previous optical reader. Optical scanners are the oldest method of reading fingerprints. They work by flashing light against the user’s finger and then visually detecting patterns and ridges... Continue reading…
