Governor Martinez Administration and NM Legislature,

964 people have signed a petition on Action Network telling you to Save New Mexico Corrections!.
Here is the petition they signed:
Corrections Officers have one of the toughest jobs out there, and scientific studies back up
that fact._
New Mexico's State Corrections system is teetering on the edge of crisis. Corrections
employees need decisive action NOW from the Governor and Legislature to foster a safer,
well-run system. It's mission critical for our state government.
The NM Corrections system currently languishes under severe vacancy levels, with several
facilities operating with 40% vacancy rates. A result, Corrections Officers are working
maximum level (72) hours of mandatory overtime, weekly, at some facilities. This work
schedule prevents officers from having adequate time for recovery, self care, or their families.
Resulting fatigue, stress, and break-down of well-being, commonly referred to as corrections
fatigue is a major factor increasing the dangers of accidents or incidents at work.
NM Corrections Officer pay remains uncompetitive and below the median income level for
corrections officers (nationally and regionally). Low pay is a major factor preventing the
department from recruiting and retaining men and women into the career. The domino effects
created by heavy workloads and high vacancies are undermining the departments mission.
Through its Labor Management Committee, the New Mexico Corrections Department and
AFSCME have recognize all these life and death realities and agreed that addressing them
need to be an urgent priority.
AFSCME strongly calls upon Governor Martinez, her administration, and the NM Legislature
to tackle the issue of corrections fatigue by working with the union, and one another to
develop and implement concrete strategies and solutions addressing the crisis.

Thank you,
Miles Conway

As a former correctional officer from Western New Mexico Correctional Facility I lived working
overtime everyday I had sixteen hour shifts because I was a rookie. That is why corrections has such
a high turnover rate. If the overtime was cut in half I would most likely go back to work. I hope you
take this into consideration and realize what a safety hazard it is to your state if employees.

I just want to say that there are officers walking in to the facilities day in and day out. These officers
put their life in danger and do their jobs with the most high standards. We do our jobs with pride and
joy. We represent the department, a department that seems to be forgotten by the administration.

I am a former correctional officer of the greatest facility in the state of New Mexico, Central New
Mexico Correction Facility. AKA CNMCF, I was there for 4 years and not once did I receive a pay
raise, any kind of recognition for honorable service, or any reprieve from long hours or promotion
insentives. Ultimately I resigned and left the state. Had I received a raise or any hope of promotion I
would have stayed. I miss working there with my family, I call them family because when you spend
80% of your time at work and it just y'all versus 1800 inmates you become family. My family deserves
better than what they are getting you y'all have the power to give it to them. Please do the right thing.

I work medical at one of the state facilities and rely on the officers to provide protection to myself and
others around me, this cannot be done if they are not alert, if they are constantly working overtime
due to short staffing they will not be at their best no matter how hard they try to be, this can put me

and the officer in harms way

I have been working at the penitentiary of New Mexico for 8 years now and in that time I have only
made $1.60 in raises. It is hard to make a living when we are not compensated for the work we do.
We deal with things that most people could not deal with on a daily basis. We put are lives on the line
every day.

My husband works for a county detention center making $16.24 an hour to risk his life every day. I
have looked at jobs for his exact position in other states and the pay they get here in New Mexico is a
lot lower than those in neighboring states. Just like I think police officers deserve a good, liveable
wage I also believe our corrections officers do as well. Creating competitive pay would not only force
the hand of county and city ran jails and detention centers to raise their wages to make these jobs
more desirable and create a safer work environment with a full staff on board. This shouldn't be a
choice for our government to increase the wages, it's a necessity. My husband is REQUIRED to work
18 hour shifts, back to back sometimes, making for 6 hours of sleep time, that's if we didn't live 30
minutes away. So in actuality he gets only 5 hours of sleep time which isn't enough for another 18
hour shift. All because they can't find enough people to work in the detention center. This is
unacceptable and dangerous! How can you expect them to protect themselves, their co workers, and
the public if they are barely able to drive to work, if they only got 4 hours of sleep because they chose
to take a shower.

I used to work for a corrections facility as an officer then a Sargeant and was promoted to a
lieutenant. It is a challenging career, and working too many hours can endanger their lives going to
work, during work and on the way home due to lack of rest and sleep. They have families and need to
spend quality time with them also. They deserve a pay raise, and the government needs to higher
other individuals in order to lower the wirking hours to only 8 hours. The overtime should be used in
emergencies situations only. Correctional Officers should be acknowledged more. They are men and
women risking their lives daily to keep criminals off the streets. Lisa Aguilar

Better wages will result in more correctional officers. We are putting their lives on the line everyday.
The inmates know what is going on, it will not be long before they start retaliating because our prisons
are having to close down posts which affect them. When will someone listen to how dangerous a
correctional officers job is, hopefully when it is not to late...........

My whole family works for the State of New Mexico including CYFD my cousin Jonathan Aragon is
also a county commissioner. We are all proud workers of the state and understand working overtime
and working hard. I work for medical at the prison and I see these men put in overtime every night
taking away time from their families and children. They put themselves in danger and get paid less
then McDonald's workers want to get paid or prisoners on parole working for the kitchen staff in Santa
Fe. I would hope that our state would put in effort to give the men the raise they deserve for protecting
OUR families from the drug addicts, killers, and rapists we wouldn't want standing in the grocery store

with our kids but yet the state hires for more than 15 an hour. These men deserve more.

Due to the long hours and short staff our facility has become unsafe. Our officers are exhausted
working 16 hour shifts four to five days a week. We are covering multiple positions to make the facility
run. This leaves areas unmanned. This is just asking for somebody to get hurt. Officers leave
constantly because of being far to overworked and under paid.

Gov. Martinez - Please prioritize the safety of our corrections officers. These officers are working
hours neither you nor I ever work and the work itself is dangerous and very necessary. They should
be paid a competitive wage, which in turn will help with recruitment, as well as retention of officers.
This critical issue demands your attention.
191. Nicholas Olguin (zip code: 87031)
I was a correctional officer at CNMCF for about 4 years. I left in 2013 due to being hired at BNSF
railway. While at the prison i also worked so much overtime i couldnt function most of the time, i
couldnt spend time with my family. Also it made my job more dangerous because i was not 100% able
to protect by brother or sister next to me. At the prison i was making 13 dollars an hour and 19.50
when i worked overtime now at bnsf i get payed 32 dollars an hour yes the job i do now is dangerous
but the prison was far worse. I am still friends with everyone still working there and i support they
need higher wages governer martinez put on a uniform and walk in there for a week i guarantee you
will have nightmares its sad how this issue was brought to your attention when i first started there,
when i left there, and still is. I know this letter will probably get no where since it does not benefit your
pockets governer martinez but it felt good to put in the effort.

My daughter works in the correction system and they are understaffed, mandated to work overtime
when not rested enough to work an additional 8 hour shift. Not trained correctly to handle these
criminals and the official warden of the jail is more concerned of the inmates safety and happiness
than the correction officers.
277. Donna Sylvestre (zip code: 87002)
One of the major issues with the low pay is that NMCD does NOT get quality applicants to apply or
those that do take the New Mexico training and go to surrounding states. NMCD at one point had a
ACA accredited Academy that was 5th in the nation. The passing of the infamous Senate Bill 207 in
2009 also stops very qualified personnel from returning to any State, City or County employment
under penalty of loosing our hard earned pensions. This certainly limits a very qualified employee
pool from returning to serve agencies in areas where they cannot get otherwise qualified applicants.
There are people who thrive on quality work ethics and public service. The few highly publicized
cases were just that, very few, highly publicized and designed to make the new Governor (Gov
Martinez) look bad. In reality there are few retiree's who even want to come back to public service, but
those of us who want to continue in public service should not be penalized for our previous service.
Resend Senate Bill 207 passed in 2009 NOW. You would get some qualified retirees to return to
NMCD. Anything would be a help. Our training, experience and service is very hard to replace. Not
everyone can work in Corrections.

I worked in the correctional facility and these men and women that have been chosen to protect us
from the convicts are working too many hours due to not enough incentives for new hires. It starts off
as a wonderful paying job until you realize for 4 days a week its mandated you work 16 hours a day
with your drive time and no time for any personal time or families. Lets get with it... I understand some
officers WANT overtime but lets hire and keep officers with pay so they do not HAVE to work so many
hours.

Governor Martinez and legislature. I personally agree with what the union spokesman has to say. I am
no longer an employee of corrections because I did not and still do not agree with how unethical the
administration is at Corrections in the State of NM.
From my time at PNM (2005 to 2014) I followed the so called CRED and I made darn sure that my
skills and my job duties allowed PNM the ability to become reaccedited through the Anerican
Correctional Association in 2012. In 2014 to 2015 I accepted a position at Central Office as an
Internal Auditor and traveling to ... other state and contracted facilities I witnessed a large amount of
information from fellow employees and co-workers. My questions to you are as followed:
How can a parolee, probationer be earning more money than our Correctional Officers? Plus policy
indicates that no financial transactions should take place (I witness people in the past being fired for
such but it occurs everyday at the training academy dining hall).
Why is the vacancy rate for COs at an all time low?
Why is it that Roswell, Southern NM Corecctional Facility, Central Office, NMCD Training Academy,
Corrections Industries can not pass an Anerican Correctional Association Audit? I have the answers
and all you need to do is ask and I shall speak. I ask you all to conduct your own walk through an
audit should be conducted. Especially in Food Service at PNM and the training academy.
There so many things that go on at corrections that shouldn't be going on. I sincerly hope that you will
take it to heart to listen to those that need to be listened to.
Thank you in advance for your tine,
Era Sue Jones

I am a wife to a correctional officer that's been wotaking for the los lunas prison for a little over three
years. Fellow correctional officers who have just started less then a year ago are making more then
my husband. There is so much mandatory overtime that he never gets to see me or his two daughters
(2 years and 5 months). Something needs to happen to all these men and woman who get treated
like their jobs are so easy, because they truly have one of the toughest jobs out there.
313. Leo Miranda (zip code: 87120)
I'm retired now, but certainly understand, and have first hand experience of how short falls of being
under staffed can absolutely endanger fatigued staff, and the families that have to deal with the
absence of their family members. Enhanced benefits, and pay would most definitely attract more
interest thus fully staffing facilities, and allowing all to enrich their respective quality of life with their
families. Some are single parents who have to choose to continue to work for corrections, or go on
public assistance. Some have had to do both work in corrections, and rely on public assistance to
make ends meet. It's perfectly understandable that Corrections is not on any legislator's list of
priorities, but these concerns aren't something to continue to be ignored.

things with our family's. Some of us have children and we miss out on a lot of them growing up. We
don't get to make that special bond as parents with our children and they don't understand that we
have no choice but to be away from them and our families working 72 hours a week and some of us
only get about 4 to 5 hours of sleep each night. It becomes dangerous to not only the facility but to the

threat to the security of the institute and inmates, just like any law inforcement job lives are in danger
and it could cost the state a lot more in damages and loss of life (1980 riot in Santa Fe). So give
decisive action now before it is to late. thank you.

Governor Martinez I am a 20 year veteran with the NMCD department.Both myself and family have
given our lives to this job. pay is the most important issue for all of us. I have given up many holidays
thanksgiving, christmas, birthdays to be here at work.Pay raises need to be given across the board.in
order to hire and keep the staff that is already here we need hire wages. We are to the point that a 2
or 3% increase no longer cuts it. We don't sit behind a desk and a computer all day long. We sit
behind a fence that is covered in razor wire with nothing but a radio to keep you and the public safe
from murderers like Michael Astoria and Andrew romero. Governor I love my job and I love keeping

the public safe. I just love my family more! 72 hours a week mandatory. Governor how would you feel
if you were told on your husband's or kids birthday or Christmas that you could not go home. That you
will be working a double shift because the facility was to short. Now try being told that every day!!

it took a toll on myself and my family, it change me as a person and added alot of stress to my
marriage. Due to working long hours and low pay rate and lack of pay raises unfortunately I had to
seek better job opportunities to support my family and survive in this economy. I enjoyed working in
corrections that was the career I chose and loved, I didn't chose to live there though and neither did
my fellow officers. I believe something needs to be done to keep officers working in the Department of

The state has to realize the severity of this crisis of understanding personnel in the provision system.
Watching their jobs as Corrections Officers on the reality show Behind Prison reveals the dangerous
environment these guards are in. These officers need to be paid in line with other pay grades in
competing states. I cannot fathom the physical overload on a body with so much mandated overtime.
To be understaffed 40 percent is ridiculous. Any agency that short staffed could not function correctly.
How does the state expect these correction officers to do anymore if any state agency was
understaffed? Please look into this serious matter and help these people out.

Please do not believe the number Secretary Marcantel gives you. They are numbers of Officers, but a

ONLY security posts. A lot of the Officers listed as having a post are working 8-4 jobs for the Admin.

To: Governor Martinez Administration and NM Legislature
Corrections Officers have one of the toughest jobs out there, and scientific studies back up that fact._
New Mexico's State Corrections system is teetering on the edge of crisis. Corrections employees
need decisive action NOW from the Governor and Legislature to foster a safer, well-run system. It's
mission critical for our state government.
The NM Corrections system currently languishes under severe vacancy levels, with several facilities
operating with 40% vacancy rates. A result, Corrections Officers are working maximum level (72)
hours of mandatory overtime, weekly, at some facilities. This work schedule prevents officers from
having adequate time for recovery, self care, or their families.
Resulting fatigue, stress, and break-down of well-being, commonly referred to as corrections fatigue
is a major factor increasing the dangers of accidents or incidents at work.
NM Corrections Officer pay remains uncompetitive and below the median income level for corrections
officers (nationally and regionally). Low pay is a major factor preventing the department from
recruiting and retaining men and women into the career. The domino effects created by heavy
workloads and high vacancies are undermining the departments mission.
Through its Labor Management Committee, the New Mexico Corrections Department and AFSCME
have recognize all these life and death realities and agreed that addressing them need to be an
urgent priority.
AFSCME strongly calls upon Governor Martinez, her administration, and the NM Legislature to tackle
the issue of corrections fatigue by working with the union, and one another to develop and implement
concrete strategies and solutions addressing the crisis.

I am a correctional officers wife, and at times I feel like a single parent. My husband and all of the
officers he works with put their lives on the line everyday. It's almost laughable the wage they start at.
We wonder why there is such a high turn over rate. You can work in the many call centers in the area
and get payed more than a correctional officer. How is that even logical. These men and women went
threw extensive training to do the job they do their saleries should reflect that. My husband leaves to
work at 130pm and most days works a double , so he will return home at 630 am. He then wakes up
and does it again. That gives him 6 hours of sleep . Most of the officers are forced four days a week,
so that means they will not see there families for four days. Please take time to consider the above.

Ms Martinez, I use to be a correctional officer but had to leave to pursue a better dinancial future for
my family. I worked at SNMCF for 4 years and enjoyed what I did. I enjoyed keeping the inmates safe
from each other and keeping the public safe. But with protecting their safety meant putting ours at
risk. I would go back and do it all over again if it was financially posible. Whatever you can do to help
my former brothers and sisters that still work corrections would mean the world to them and to me.
