CiviGenics Guard Resigns After Sexual Incident at Liberty County Jail

The Houston Community Newspaper ("Liberty County jailer expected to be charged with sex crimes," May 4, 2008) is reporting that a female guard at CiviGenic's Liberty County Jail has resigned after accusations of an inappropriate sexual relationship with an inmate:

A female employee of CiviGenics who works as a guard in the Liberty County Jail resigned Tuesday, April 29, after being questioned by Liberty County Sheriff’s Office investigators about having sex with an inmate, according to Liberty County Sheriff Greg Arthur.

The case has been accepted by the Liberty County District Attorney’s Office and will be presented to a grand jury.

The grand jury could return an indictment for Violation of Civil Rights of a Person in Custody By Having Sex With That Person.

This is a State Jail Felony, punishable by confinement for a period of 180 days to two years in a state jail and a fine not to exceed $10,000.

Earlier this year, two guards at the facility were arrested for delivering marijuana, esctasy, and cash into the jail.

CiviGenics guards have been indicted on sexual assault charges at other Texas jails as well, including civil rights charges at the company's bi-state jail in Texarkansas and similar charges at the McLennon County jail in Waco.

Civigenics

Civigenics hires anyone off the street with at least a GED. When an employee is not liked they look for anything to get rid of them. AnD THE ones they should look out for are doing so much wrong like over familiarity with inmatesm also bring in pens,candy, cell phones name it they bring it even jewlery. I know this because I worked there. I quit due to illness. and two months later I am accused of this very thing, since I am not there I cannot defend myself. I did let my supervisor know of a couple of counselors who are over familiular, and I got told I was trying to make the counselors go againist one another. One other counselor was let go for being rude to inmaters...is that crazy? Also, I had an inmate asked to be removed from my caseload because he thought I had romantic feelings for him. The inmate had more rights than me. ANd the other counselor he hangs out with spends most of his time talking with her everyday, and nothing is done about that. plus her best buddy brings in stuff for the inmates, in return for drawings. I saw a gold necklace she took in..nothing done to her. 2 months after I leave I found out I was unhirable because a letter was found supposedlyy for me, that same inmate did approach me and said the other counselor that left, was bring him cell phones for money, he knew she needed money. ans asked me the same I told him NO you have the wrong person. I did not tell my supervisor since the employee was long gone. And how is it 2 MONTHS later, after I'm gone that I am accused, I found out by other employees. What a hell of a business they got going there. I think there should be some investigation on that group of counselors

This really a shameful news

This really a shameful news because this is beyond the humanity. If you are not able to give security than should not remain in job. xoco slim program
