Recently, failed CalDORC Secretary and Undersecretary Roderick Hickman and Jeanne Woodford, were granted a podium before Federal Judge Thelton Henderson for a self-serving vindication of their bankrupt administrative policies.
Predictably, the displacement of blame began by allegations of political arm-twisting by that darn "powerful Prison Guard's Union", however, one must consider the source and their motivations before believing anything that they say. There is another, parallel, situation in which the testimony of witnesses is bought and paid for.
It is a known practice for prosecutors to employ the use of testimony from "jailhouse snitches" in their prosecutions, in return for which they are granted reduced sentences and/or special consideration in their jailhouse environment. Now comes the nexus.
What a great opportunity it is for these two to be able to rewrite history and resurrect their tainted credentials through their testimony before a Federal judge! Testimony which now, as before, lays the blame for their unsuccessful management on bystanders. Testimony issued within the context of a media-rich environment which will ensure that their message will hit the intended target.
The opportunity to vindicate their buffoonery through such a forum and ensuing media circus is priceless, therefore, payment for their testimony is made in full.
The Pinstripe Wall is up to their old tricks all right, Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.
