CITY POLITICIANS NEED TO BE TRAINED ABOUT CIVILIAN OVERSIGHT
They remain all talk and no action on accountability for the disgraceful 'Justice Center'
Mayor Tishaura Jones issued a statement last month in response to the latest angry resignation of one of her own appointees to the Detention Facilities Oversight Board (DFOB).
“Since day one, my administration has remained committed to civilian oversight of corrections,” Jones said. She cited “championing the legislation establishing the DFOB” as evidence of that commitment.
Today is Day 992 of the Jones Administration. As of this moment, not one DFOB member has been permitted one second of unfettered access to the city jail for the purpose of oversight.
