Derek Chauvin And The State Of US Prisons
I’ve written a lot about the corrupt, inefficient and failing Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP.) Most recently, the mainstream media have lauded the BOP’s new director, Colette Peters, who was brought in to “clean the place up.”
Peters is a former successful director of the Oregon Department of Corrections. The idea was that, rather than promote somebody from within the BOP to lead it, which has been done time and time again and which has failed time and time again, maybe a fresh face from outside could bring a new perspective and could turn the BOP around.
That hasn’t happened. If anything, Peters has been ignored by her subordinates and, in many cases, circumvented.
