Strickland suspends inmate work program
Ohio Governor Ted Strickland today, May 27, suspended the Pickaway Correctional Institution’s Inmate Work Program at the Governor’s Residence.
A statement released late Thursday afternoon said the governor decided to suspend the program after learning an inmate consumed alcohol while working at the residence today.
“I have directed the Department of Rehabilitation and Correction to immediately suspend the program until a full and thorough external review of this program can be completed,” Strickland said.
According to the Associated Press, prisons spokeswoman Julie Walburn says the department believes two inmates may have been drinking at the home on Thursday. It was unclear where the alcohol may have come from.
Strickland has been facing political fallout since January after aides canceled an unrelated contraband sting involving an inmate at the residence.

Well, it is time for Gov Strickland to place the blame on Wall Street Kasich for the further episods of misconducd by prisioners at the Governor’s mansion. It is obvious that Kasich probably passed the booze to the inmates so they could get caught and blame the poor Governor. This is just a contination of misconduct caused by the Gov’s expert knowledge of whats right for the prisoners. Remember he was a prison shrink before becoming Governor. We can’t treat them like criminals, we have to trust them and give them all the perks of law abiding citizens. He was wrong in letting them act and dress like regular citizen instead of the criminals they are. After numerous times of booze, drugs, and other criminal acts he is finally stopping his slave trade business. Lets all wake up and gid rid of this idiot in Nov.
