No comment, I'm doing my job
Amidst all the coverage of the Malcolm Kyser-in-a-garbage-can escape from SCI-Albion, I read this interesting paragraph in an Erie Times-News report:
Melinda Adams, spokeswoman at the Albion prison, said prison Superintendent Marilyn Brooks was not available for comment Wednesday because she was busy overseeing prison operations. Brooks has not spoken publicly since Sunday's escape.
Before heading off to Albion, Brooks, you may recall, held the top post at SCI-Cambridge Springs. It seemed like there were always a lot of rumors flying around about shenanigans going on at the prison while she was in charge there. In the current situation, I'm sure Brooks was instructed to keep her mouth shut by the bigwigs at the PA Department of Corrections. But it's still pretty funny that the reason the spokesperson gave for Brooks not commenting was, well, because she was doing her job. Isn't part of her job to be transparent about what's going on under her watchful eye?

Why would the Commonwealth punish the poor guy who was taking their scraps. Now they'll have to send them to the landfill at our taxpayer expense. Sounds about right for the system.
Also, I didn't know that you were allowed to feed raw scraps to pigs. Someone should look into that one.
