Chinese academy, Glodis forge ties

Prison guard training exchange set up

WEST BOYLSTON— The Zhejiang Police Vocational Academy in China continues to reach out to institutions in Worcester County, now with a partnership with the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office that allows cadets from China to train here.

The academy has an ongoing exchange program with Worcester State College. Officials visited the city and college in October and the trip included a stop at the Worcester County Jail and House of Correction in West Boylston.

Stephen Chao, director of Worcester State College’s international programs, said the president of the Zhejiang Police Vocational Academy was intrigued by the reform programs at the jail.


The security, format, professionalism and inmate rehabilitation programs at the recently accredited county jail and house of correction impressed the academy officials, according to a news release.

The Substance Treatment Opportunity Program, Fathers and Families, Almost Home, ankle bracelet monitoring, and community service programs are several ways the jail helps integrate inmates back into the community and helps break addictions.

Those methods will be learned by the academy cadets and the sheriff’s office has agreed to share information about how those programs work.

“This new partnership highlights the sheriff’s office not only as a national model, but also an international model of penal reform and professionalism,” Sheriff Guy W. Glodis said this week.

The academy officials continue to show interest in how the sheriff’s office and the Police Department have community programs to help inmates and curb crime.

“The concept of having inmates doing work outside the jail was very new to them,” Sheriff Glodis said.

In the news release, Chinese delegation head Huang Xingrui said after his October visit, “It is truly eye-opening for all of us by learning a correction system focused on reforming criminals and helping them to integrate into the society.”

The academy in China has departments of paralegal, crime prevention and homeland security, police officer training, information technology, adult education, general education and criminal jurisprudence.

It also trains cadets to handle the prison system. Sheriff Glodis, who returned from an eight-day trip to China on Saturday, said he found the inmate work program in China very interesting.

There inmates work inside the prisons doing all types of work, ranging from sowing and knitting to high-technology work. Inmates must enroll in work programs, but also spend time learning.

“One thing I thought they do more effectively than us is the mandatory work programs,” Sheriff Glodis said. “There is no downtime for inmates in Chinese facilities. In American jails, there is a lot of downtime.”

During his trip, Sheriff Glodis visited prisons, academic facilities, attended public safety conferences and was the keynote speaker at the academy. On April 1, the sheriff and academy president signed a letter of intent for professional exchange and cooperation.

The sheriff’s trip was paid for through his campaign account.

“The agreement calls for staff member exchange, short-term academic corrections and criminal justice coursework, professional training and exchange of agency reference materials,” the news release said.

By the end of this year, 10 to 20 cadets will come here. The cost to train the cadets will come from the academy in China. Sheriff Glodis said the agreement will produce revenue, with the Zhejiang Police Vocational Academy agreeing to pay $100 per day per cadet. Staff from the sheriff’s office eventually will train in China, too, with the academy there paying the cost of travel and training.

“This is no cost to the jail,” Sheriff Glodis said.


It's amazing how someone who never attended an academy is the keynote speaker on one.

"I wonder how many of them will end up as deputies?"

It all depends on how strong their sign waving arm is,
and how deep their pockets are,and I am not kidding.

Check me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Chinese justice consisit of shooting the criminal in the head and sending the bill for the expended round to his family?
From the interweb...
Quote:
China has the death penalty for 68 crimes including murder, drug trafficking, rape, re-selling VAT receipts, pimping, habitual theft, stealing or dealing in national treasures or cultural relics, publishing pornography, selling counterfeit money, economic offences such as graft, speculation and profiteering and even killing a panda.
During the "Strike hard" campaign against crime in China during the Spring of 2001, Amnesty International recorded a staggering 1,781 executions. This figure is greater than the total number of executions carried out in the rest of the world put together.
China does not publish statistics about the death penalty - these are a state secret.
Executions are often carried out immediately after a public sentencing rally and the criminal's family is made to pay for the bullet.
The prisoner's arms are shackled behind them and they are made to kneel down before receiving a single bullet fired at close range into the back of the head or neck by a soldier or policeman or by a bullet fired into the heart from behind using an automatic rifle.
Chinese laws do not specifically state the site of execution grounds and shootings are carried out at military target ranges and along river banks and on remote hill sides, the prisoners being transported in open lorries from the sports stadiums where they were sentenced.
Condemned criminals are not executed inside prisons because it is regarded as inhumane for other inmates to hear the sound of gunfire.
In a typical mass public execution in December 1995, 13 men and women convicted of murder and highway robbery were shot after the Court dismissed their appeals. Chinese television showed the 9 men and 4 women being paraded at a sports stadium in front of a crowd of more than 10,000 before being taken to the execution ground on a nearby hillside.
Frequently the kidneys, hearts and corneas are removed from the dead prisoners and used in transplants at local hospitals. "Execution is one of the indispensable means of education," China's paramount leader, Deng Xiaoping, once said.
During 1997, China began experimenting with lethal injection and this has replaced shooting in some provinces and tends also to be used on high ranking prisoners.

I'd be pissed if I donated money to help him win an election and he took a trip to the far east with it. What sense does it make to travel half way round the world to learn something that is taught in your own backyard. This is just pure bullshit.

It is BS, but if you donated to Herr Glodis, you're getting exactly what you paid for.

Sometimes the lessons you learn the hardest are the ones you remember the best.

So does he himself call the newspaper after he farts/leaves-a-penny/holds a door open/ or otherwise self-promoting publicity stunt...or does he have a special full time position for that within the Sheriff's Office? I can see some hack at a desk with a phone full of speed dials to the local newspapers....just waiting for Uncle Guy to walk in with a neato story about how awesome he and his crack team of superheroes are...

When you have your eye on a statewide office in 2010, it's never too early to get your name out there and build the resume.

Why would any sheriff want to mess around with ancient WWII battleship technology? Look at these two beauties just sitting at Newport waiting for a federal DHS grant to snatch them up;





Posted by: USMCTrooper

Maybe he wants a grant to buy one of these...........

Mobile execution chambers are now on the road in China. As a replacement for the firing squad, this is nomadic power, bringing the state - and lethal injections - to your doorstep.

My next door neighbor works for the WCSO.....funny when I mentioned this trip he said GG also went to Russia....WTF??

It's actually easy to get grant money for Homeland Security based on Chinese fire drills.
