Morale problems at the jail have existed since the 90's.

Rio Grande - Morale problems at the jail have existed since the 90's. Underfunded, understaffed and mismanaged for several decades. Lack of training, no leadership who set a worthy example. A county back water facility until the next big lawsuit. A ticking time bomb with a lit fuse. It would help if the union enforced the contract and officers decided no more givebacks. Workers should attend a freeholder meeting en masse to register complaints.
