i hate to say that but sutherland s upcoming transfer to state prison is fine with at least one inmate. honestly, i don t want him to get out in the world again, or even with someone else in the jail. because that wasn t right. obviously i can shower in peace now, not having to worry about him coming up every time i try to shower. coming up. i m very proud that i came to this jail at a time where the corrections industry in general was moving away from a culture of violence. a retiring captain reflects on 25 years of change. and a gang member finds out what his future holds. mr. leija, anything further you would like to say before i impose sentence? every day we re working to be an even better company -
has seen a lot of change over the course of his 25 years at the kent county jail in grand rapids. i m very proud that i came to this jail at a time where the corrections industry in general but even this jail in particular was moving away from a culture of violence and a culture that demeaned the inmate population, toward a culture that treats everybody with dignity and respect and humanely, and understanding that the inmates have their own set of problems that they present us with, but they re all humans and they all need to be cared for as human beings. jail officials say one way they do that is to be responsive to inmate reports of threats or harassment. zack is one of the inmates who wrote one of the kites alleging issues with inmate sutherland. he s still in the same housing unit as he was. just wanted to let him know that we re there if he has any questions or any other issues. just a well-being check, just to make sure he s okay.
