According to InDepthNH,org a female Concord Prison CO was fired for "refusing to follow a direct order."
The staffing levels at the men's prison had dropped to unsafe levels. CO Claudia Cass Prescott (working nightshift) emailed her supervisor and said that if there wasn't adequate staff she wouldn't unlock the cells on her next shift.
The result? A suspension, forced to undergo a psychological evaluation then termination.
Short staffing in jails and prisons is unfortunately very common. Each institution deals with it differently. Sadly it's a leading cause of inmate on staff violence.
