"SACRAMENTO, Calif. - About 6,000 California corrections officers earned more than $100,000 in the last fiscal year thanks to overtime work in the strained prison system, and one brought in more than a quarter of a million."
Of course it's not the whole story. It just makes a great headline. What's not said in the aricle is the fact that the overtime is forced, not voluntary. The officers have no say in whether or not they will have to work. And the story doesn't mention the fact that an officer who has worked 12 or more hours is certainly less watchful and definitely more vulnerable to attack. Yeah, I think it's a crime!
