Youth Worker Reports Misconduct And Is Fired!

When Mr. Joe Perry, a Community Youth Worker for the Hudson County Juvenile Detention Center, exercised his responsibility to report misconduct he was terminated. Mr. Perry was employed by the HudsonCountyJuvenileDetentionCenter and was working in the “In-Home Detention Program.”

The “In-Home Detention Program” is administrated by the HudsonCountyJuvenileDetentionCenter.  Mr. Perry discovered that juveniles accused of committing serious violent offenses were being admitted into the program. According to Mr. Perry, this program was not designed for violent offenders, and inclusion of violent offenders could be detrimental to the rehabilitation of other juveniles, and presented a risk to the entire community.  By way of the official chain of command, Mr. Perry reported these program violations to his supervisors.  He even notified the Director of the Hudson County Juvenile Detention Center.  Instead of correcting the problem, his supervisors used the disciplinary process to suspend and then terminate his employment.  Mr. Perry filed a law suit and a New Jersey Superior Court Jury ruled in his favor on February 17, 2011.

On Thursday June 9, 2011, Mr. Joe Perry will be our guest. Don't miss this unbelievable story of misconduct and retaliation.
