Century Correctional Citizens Advisory Committee Meets
March 29, 2012
Century Correctional Institution is turning to a citizens group for advice on how the prison can better serve the community.
An organization meeting for the Century CI Citizens Advisory Committee was held Thursday morning at the prison with a group of community members that are involved with the facility in one form or another. Advisory Committee members include local school principals, government officials, law enforcement representatives and others — many of which utilize work crews from CCI.
“It’s a community partnership,” Warden Richard Comerford told the group. “These prisons were brought into these communities years ago for two reasons — to create jobs and for us to reach back out into the community.”
With an annual payroll of $17.3 million, plus about $1.8 million in operating expenses and about $1.2 million in food service allocations, the 1400-inmate Century CI has a significant impact on the Century-area economy, the warden said.
The Century Correctional Institution Citizens Advisory Committee will continue to meet throughout the year.

Hmm…averages out to around $44G a year, give or take. Might seem a bit much, but I think those guard’s jobs are difficult, & they earn that money. I agree with whoa, though, I hope the guards are getting their share.
17.3 million in annual payroll? Just how much do we get paid? Am I not getting what I’m supposed to be getting? I work here and I don’t see that much payroll going out at CenCI (and satelite units) with the number of people working here. This includes security (people in uniform) as well as contract personel (people not in uniform). Somebody LYING to somebody…and I ain’t buying it!
