Employees ‘treated like prisoners’
Chris Marshall was working the gate at DCF in the early morning hours of Feb. 9 when state police came to supervise the removal of the prisoners. “They acted aggressively, I don’t know if they were under [LePage’s] orders to do so. But, my officers and I were treated like prisoners ourselves,” said Marshall . “We were put in a room and told to shut up and stay there. This guy didn’t just close the facility, he treated the state workers like scum.” Photo by Sarah Craighead Dedmon
