Angel Medina, with more than 20 years of experience with the Colorado Department of Corrections, had at least two threats on his life for trying to clean up the illegal drug trafficking and other contraband flowing into the Fremont Correctional Facility in Cañon City, records show.
But threats didn’t deter him when he was warden of the prison from cracking down when he suspected a female guard he supervised of bringing in a cell phone to an inmate. Medina viewed the cell phone as a potentially lethal offense, one that would give a prisoner a crucial communication device to potentially orchestrate drug deals and violence against other guards and prisoners.

On Dec. 14, 2018 at 3:51 p.m. John Olson, an appraisal supervisor for the Colorado Department of Transportation, sent an email to an employee he managed.
At issue was the employee’s urgent complaint that proper appraisal procedures weren’t being used by “good ole boys” at the state agency, which spends billions of dollars in taxpayer money to build and maintain state highways and bridges. The employee had warned that taxpayers were on the hook for inflated costs due to inappropriate standards and ethics when the agency determines how much to pay to buy property when it widens or builds roads.
