@AB
FYI: The classification of inmates is conducted by Classification Officers, NOT Correctional Officers.
Most of us (COs) would be hard pressed to find enough inmates to send to Work Release after dealing with them on the compound!!!!
Also, there are certain criteria that has to met to allow inmates to go to Work Releases or Work Camps.
Apparently, someone made a mistake.

I hope that you got a good look; as it will be a long time before you get another.

I remember when these were referred to as “Peeping Tom”. I would hear Grandma and those old women having coffee; “close your blinds and curtains, so and so saw a peeping Tom looking in her bedroom window, night before last”.

These “voyeurs”, they can cause hysteria.

I understand that when a person is arrested, they are considered innocent until proven guilty. However, every arrested person is not entitled to or should be eligible for a work release program. If the person has been arrested for anything that is a violent or deviant crime then common sense says we should err on the side of caution and not put them on a work release detail. There are plenty of crimes committed that are not of a violent or deviant nature, so put those people in a work release situation. Anyone who engages in child pornography or filming people in a bathroom is most certainly a deviant individual and they pose a danger to society. Would you want a person like that working near your family, your children or grandchildren?

I’m curious how they know how old the children are in these photos and videos?

What in heaven’s name are the classifying officers thinking about. It did read that he was not yet convicted of the child porn charges but he was found guilty of filming in the ladies room. The officers are in charge of classifying each Inmate and placement in the facility. OOOPS, they let that one slip by. Wonder how many others have been let out there to work?

I’m sorry, Tom, but when the arrest report says he had child pornography depicting toddlers you keep the guy in a cell.

The third paragraph begins, “Just this month, he was convicted…..”
He was awaiting trial but had already been convicted on another charge. Being convicted is not alleged, he was found guilty by a jury.

Regarding an earlier comment..Me I have no sympathy for this man and the heinous crimes he allegedly committed. But it did say awaiting trial so I do assume innocent until proven guilty is one of the reasons he may have been allowed work release. I am a firm believer in the Law and Justice system and sometimes the law is not always what we want it to be.
