So today Lorne called and I could not help but notice the sound of drills, Sawz-All and other various power tools. Of course, those sounds begged the question "babe...what is that noise?" Lorne: they are making some repairs up on the tier. Of course...it makes complete and total sense now!! Close the place down so let's put time, effort and money into making repairs. YES! I see the TOTAL wisdom in that. (insert eye roll here)
For those who have never worked for a government entity, it is truly an experience to say the least! The layers of bureaucracy that must be navigated to change a set course of action is burdensome to everyone. Here is how this probably went down;
1. Someone notices that a repair needs to be made to a cell (Day 1)
2. That person generates a work order to inform the maintenance personnel of the broken item (Day 2)
3. Maintenance prioritizes that work order in order of importance to the facility security, safety, or any other set criteria they have. (Varies...Day 3-60)
4. At some point, the priority could change due to changing environmental factors (Day 4-infinity)
My guess is that this work order for whatever repair that they were doing was submitted 4-6 months ago...before the decision to close NSP was made. However, it seems to me that once that decision was made (and indeed, transfers have started to occur) all those work order items could be removed from the queue since it would be a waste of resources to fix a building that the governor and Acting Director Cox feel is no longer worth putting any more money into. Why put money into a building that the state will no longer be using? It doesn't make sense to me...I am sure that other people looking in from the outside (and of course the inmates too) feel that it does not make sense either.
Let's hope that the State of Nevada sees the wisdom of that too...
