    I thought that prision doors were automatically opened by a control room?? Where is the injury in that?

      Thats the problem with the general public, they read an article in a paper that has no idea how a prison works. Menard prison still uses old-style Folger- Adams keys (large keys). Some cellhouses use 1 key for every 6 cells with up to 54 cells on 1 gallery.these keys are heavy and cumbersome. Also, the locks on the cells, some of which are over 100 years old, tend to stick or even jam. That makes them extremely difficult to turn. I’m not saying every case is legit, but most are. If you want to bitch about state money waste or claim abuse, why don’t you look at the states welfare system. I garuntee billions are being wasted in abused or false claims.

    Joseph, posting a comment on an article won’t remove you from the e-mail list, and you shouldn’t get comment notifications unless you check the box that says “Notify me of comments via e-mail”.

    Ah, don’t you just love it? Poor overworked, abused prison guards, with the aid of the state’s personal injury attorneys (who, being the magnamanous persons they are in their fight for truth, justice, and the American way, undoubtdly refuse to take even a nickle of compensation for their efforts), have found another way to screw the public who, after all, pay all these claims in the end.

    And note the law doesn’t require there actually be an injury, just that the “hazard” COULD have caused an injury, for the WC claim to be compensable. How bizarre is that?

    Next the guards will be claiming post traumatic stress syndrome for the injuries they COULD have suffered, but didn’t.
