I find it curious that the current Warden of this NY MCC, one Shirley Skipper-Scott, worked as a social scientist in the federal system for several years at the GS-12 level (source: https://www.federalpay.org/employees/bureau-of-prisons-federal-prison-system/skipper-scott-shirley-v ).
Then, she sued AG Eric Holder for employment discrimination in 2013 (Mississippi SD, # 3:13-cv-00017 ), resolved the case in 2016, and saw her career blossom into federal prison administration at the GS-14 level, i.e., in the top 10% of federal payscale, thereafter.
So the top administrator in charge of this highest of high profile prisons, one that has held some of the most notorious criminals and defendants, has all of three years administrative experience?
Wow. Just wow.
“Skipper-Scott, worked as a ‘social scientist’ in the federal system “
“Social scientist” - to me that sounds like an oxymoron. Science is “hard”; social is loosy-goosy.
This chick had no business in that position. I’d love to hear what Bernie Kerik has to say about her. He ran this prison, and Riker’s Island, so should have an opinion.
