Face to Face: Speaking Out

Monday, April 21, 2008 | 5:30 p.m.

The woman who was in charge of Nevada's prison chaplains says the state's criminal justice system is the worst she's ever seen, and her allegations may cost her her job. She's been offered a deal if she keeps quiet. Jon asks her why she's turning it down.

Chaplain Jane is someone we can be proud of! She is standing up to one of the most corrupt bureaucrats in this state's history. The evils of NDOC are only now beginning to come to light. There is no honor in taking a deal from Skolink to hide the truth and be silent. Thank you, Chaplain Jane! And thank you Mr. Ralston for this much-needed segment. Please do more on this criminal enterprise known as NDOC.

This is a scenario that is becoming the standard of attempting to quiet someone who has a different viewpoint than one of the good ol' boys. Chaplain Jane is solid and sincere. Her points are concise and clear, and would solve many problems that face our communities dealing with inmates and particularly the Parole Board. Certainly she made no inappropriate suggestions or did anything that could be construed as bad behavior on her part. She does not deserve this treatment.
It is a shame that the Attorney Generals offfice and Prison personnel would treat this wise and educated chaplain in such a manner. Shame on them and shame on Nevada for allowing this behavior from their government. The prison system is a huge industry in Nevada. As they say, follow the money.
As the above poster stated "Please do more on this criminal enterprise known as NDOC" Ditto!

Chaplain Jane was specific when speaking about the Parole Board. This is a good example of the PB vindictiveness:

There is not enough space here to convince you that Nolan Kline is innocent. Nonetheless, the parole board is unethical and corrupt. They need to follow guidelines and policy according to the law. They have broken the law like those who appear before them.
Remember that the AG's officce ASKED the chaplain for her comments and suggestions. They didn't like what she said and now look at the poistion this fine woman is in. They are vilifying her. Can you imagine what the heavy hand of the AG's office can do to this chaplain, much less an inmate? The behaviors and motivation of those responsible for going after the chaplain need to be brought to light with the harshest of scrutiny. This situation has all the markings of a cover-up and protectionism within the good ol' boys system.
