Pratt’s post for 7/24/2019
July 24, 2019 by 2 Comments
I was disappointed about your remarks concerning the Robertson unit in Abilene. There are problems at the unit with drugs being smuggled in and other items being smuggled in. But there have also been multiple people walked off the unit. Everything is being done to alleviate the situation, but it is difficult. I think you need to get more and better information before giving a scathing review like you did.
I made very few comments and none were “scathing.” The facts of story, the sheer number of people involved, is disgusting and is scathing enough.
