Detention officers are punished for offending colleagues
An officer at one of the Prison Service’s detention centers is considered to have made offensive comments about the appearance of two colleagues, including questions about sexual orientation. Now the authority’s personnel responsibility board has decided that the commander will receive a five-day salary deduction, reports the trade union newspaper Audience.
The reports of abusive differential treatment were made at the end of last year.
In one case, the officer allegedly commented on a colleague’s earrings, asked if he had “been in the wife’s jewelry box” and said, among other things, that it was feminine and silly.
Another colleague was told that his dyed hair and piercing looked silly and goofy. The fact that he wore the Prison Service’s LGBTQ bracelet caused the officer to ask questions about his sexual orientation.
The officer stated that he never wanted to harass anyone and also stated that he did not say what he was accused of. But the committee states that the information is reliable and that in both cases it is a case of abusive differential treatment.
