According to KSTP TV
“While FCI Waseca is generally well-run and both inmates and staff reported feeling safe, it suffers from a significant shortage of correctional officers,” said Inspector General Michael Horowitz.
According to the report, the prison is running with only 67% of its correctional service positions filled, leading to the temporary assignment of non-correctional officer personnel into correctional officer positions, a practice known as augmentation.
Correctional officer posts were filled most commonly with personnel from the Facilities Department, Unit Team and Education Department.
“If you’re a maintenance man, you certainly don’t have the qualifications to be a corrections officer,” said Sheila Gardner, whose sister is serving a sentence at Waseca right now.
