Delco Prison Conditions Nearing Crisis Level, Council Told — Frank Kwaning, president of the Delaware County (Pa.) Prison Employees Independent Union, gave a dire warning to County Council, Dec. 13. (2:14.30).
Membership asked him to inform the council that “things going on in the facility” are bad, he said.
“We don’t know what is being said out here and we don’t know what the council has been told,” he said. “But the reality on the ground is not as conducive as is portrayed,. You will be reading it in the news, you will be hearing it from somewhere.”
He begged the council to go to the prison to see things for themselves. He begged them to talk to the personnel.
“The morale is at the lowest level,” he said.
He thanked the council for the $3 raise they got in the latest contract but said membership is still being treated like garbage.
“On behalf of the members, we invite the council to step into the jail and conduct an investigation as to what is going on.”
He said Council better address things before things gets out of hand.
