** Furthermore, Colonel Frye at the institution went to Janice Cloud, owner of "Hair Works Design," and asked her to get her brother (who is the polygraph examiner) to tell him how to pass the polygraph test.  Janice Cloud can be reached at (850) 663-4529

NOTE: I spoke with Janice Cloud on October 7, 2005. She does indeed have a brother-in-law who has been a polygraph examiner for 38 (?) years, but her comment on Colonel Frye coming to her shop was, "This is a damn lie! No one has come into my shop for thse purposes." If you have a rebuttal to anything you see on this site, I will be happy to add it if you will contact me, Kay Lee. Be sure to include the url you found the information on. Thank you.

NOTE: WHILE CLARK WAS STILL COLONEL a officer by the name of Marcus Hodges was hired and recruited to play ball for FSP. The first problem is that he is an ex-con from Georgia. Next, his brother in law is reported to be the Colonel AC Clark.!!!

GRRRRRrrrrrr... FDOC'S LATEST IMPROPRIETIES!

"There have been reports of a lot of employee embezzlement in the Florida Department of "Corrections" of late.  Something like 62 Federal indictments are supposedly being handed down, several of them for millions of dollars worth of employee theft by people like Colonel AC Clark, who, along with Brian Griffis, is reportedly charged with filching nearly $5 million dollars from the Recycle Program.  According to the allegations of an FDLE source, both are already under federal indictment.

"Did the department fire ol' AC for stealing their money?  Heck no! First they made him warden at New River then moved him up to the position of Director of Region I. In fact my sources tell me they moved guards from prison to prison one recent night so that AC's New River pets could attend the big birthday bash they threw for him."

THE BIRTHDAY BASH

With this kind of shenanigans, I don't doubt that money is a problem for the department right now. [See Prisoner's Fees]

MY QUESTIONS and AN OFFICER'S ANSWERS:

KAYLEE: Have you known Steroids to be a problem at FSP?

OFFICER: "Yes. Clayton Manning used to work for FSP, left to work for an Egyptian prince as a bodyguard for 3 years. During his time there he was shipping steroids to Raiford under diplomatic immunity. The info that I got was that Manning was shipping them to Zyltowski (who was mentioned in the FSP Sinking Ship), and the actual distribution was done thru Zyltowski to Dean Ellis, Brian Griffis, Marcus Hodges, Oscar Shipley, and Kenny Lampp.

"Clayton Manning has returned to the department but I was just told he is keeping a low profile at this time."

KAYLEE: I noted Timmy Wilkerson's name but didn't have any notes on him but 'slimeball'.  Is there a story on him?

OFFICER: "(1)Timmy Wilkerson- Yes you are correct slimeball! Timmy is now at New River East Unit, so you better advise your lolits about his presence. I understand he is up to his old ways again.

KAYLEE: Pepperspray used at FSP (any other prisons?) is a custom mix that takes the hide off (immediately?)?

OFFICER: (2) "Pepper Spray- All I can say for sure is that we were told in a meeting that the OC Pepper Spray currently used at FSP is a special blend under the authority of the upper administration.

KAYLEE: Do you know the compounds of the mixture?  Whose idea was it to mix such a compound? How long have they been doing this?

OFFICER: "I received several reports that officers were told in a meeting held by Captain Dean Ellis that the OC Pepper Spray that is currently being used at FSP is a special blend that is mixed extra hot under the authority of the upper administration, but Ellis did not mention any names However, A. C. Clark was still Colonel at the time, not yet indicted, and it has often been rumored that the directive came through him. James Clark Jr. either has to be in on it, or he just doesn't know what his left hand is doing."

KAYLEE: And KKK Florida State headquarters in is Lawtey, Florida?

OFFICER: "Yes."

KAYLEE: What is the recycle program?  Is this the audit the Feds were conducting when they busted Griffis?

OFFICER: (5) "Recycle- Is a facility that was opened at the old swine farm behind FSP. When you are passing the warehouse going towards FSP it is the tan building out in the field on the left. It's function is to serve as a collection and processing facility for all the recycle materials such as, Aluminum cans, brass, paper, card board and even milk crates.

"In 2002 when Sgt Markham was in charge of the recycle they were averaging about $100,000 a month being returned to the general budget of the department, but when he stood up to AC and would not let him run it the way AC wanted it run, they put Markham on midnites and put Brian Griffis over recycle. At that time there was about $450,000 in the recycle general account.

"Within a month Sgt Markham was contacted by the IG's office concerning the account being overdrawn. And now a formal audit is being conducted because the department hasn't received any disbursments from recycle since Sgt Markham was replaced. Also several inmates who were working there have been shipped to unknown locations in connection with this the preliminary amount that I was told was 4.25 million dollars."

KAYLEE: About Alan Clarks' Fed Indictment.  Who is suspected of being involved with him in the $4 million dollars worth of theft?

OFFICER: (6) "Allan Clarks Indictment- All I can really say is that I was told by a really reliable source that He did receive one and was placed on administrative leave. Furthermore he was told by Crosby that he (Crosby) could not continue to cover for him due to his political future being in jeopardy. There is according to my source within FDLE, 62 Indictments in all to be served."

KAYLEE: One more thing:  You called yourself a 'convicts' guard.  Could you define that term?

OFFICER: (7) "What is a Convict Guard?- A convict guard is someone that has been around the system a while and can do their job with out having to be a ass. He gives respect and gets it back from the inmates without malice. He goes to work without taking his home life problems with him and leaves his work at work. He doesn't have to use pepperspray to feel like a man or intentionally torment the very inmates that he is entrusted to provide the basic care, custody, and control over. Just as their is a difference in an inmate and a convict there is also a difference between officer, guard, and convict guard.

Marcus Starling aka Marcus Hodges (AC Clark's boy)
Mon, 29 Mar 2004

"Hi kaylee, I wanted to drop you a line, in case you didn't know Marcus Hodges got picked up by DEA and has been terminated by DOC.

"All this happened about a week, two weeks at the most. I don't have an exact date. Clark is warden at New River now.  Marcus Starling is AKA Marcus Hodges, Starling is all that I have ever known him by (and I have known him for a very long time). I don't believe he and Clark are related. He just got recruited because he plays ball. Clark likes him because of the steroids and xxx pills.

"It was rumored that Clark was coming to UCI because Crosby was moving Union's warden as far away as he could get him to make room for his people. They say Clark in the next 6 months will be in Tallahassee so Crosby can groom him for deputy secretary. I am sure that will happen too if we don't expose them.

"My opinion is he has been a girlfriend beater his whole life. Well he beat on this last one too. She told on him for xxx, pills, pot and steroids. His girlfriend told the DEA where to find all the goods and gave a list of names, including AC Clark. The investigation is far from over, everyone is talking at work.

"Maybe you have more sources than I, but I'm sure the Gainesville sun would love to hear about this. If you check around you could verify this info.

"90% of us in the correctional field would love to see AC Clark go down and make Crosby look like an ass, but I am sure Crosby will cover up for his boys and they will come out smelling like a rose. The only way for us to win is the media (Gainesville sun) because they hate DOC and to put pressure on Crosby. We need his ass out of DOC." ~An Old-Time Officer who will remain unnamed at this time.

Subject: INDICTMENTS

"There are suppose to be 17 indictments, and AC Clark is one of them. I don't know where to look to find if this is true or just a rumor. Hope you found the info on Marcus Hodges. He has been arrested in the past for battery and resisting an officer w/o violence. It is a shame that they let people like this run our prison system.

This is a link to the Lance CO site, thread titled "AC Clark and..."  Page 7 of this thread is particularly interesting.  It names names and lists various acts of fraud and malfeasance.  Could be rumor and innuendo, but is it worth following up on?

It seems as if there is going to be some big people go down in the near future. I hear they are quite a few folks going down to the federal courthouse for some strange reason. I would appreciate any info.

I have a family member that is in some sort of trouble and it involves that mess around Raiford. He claims everything is OK, but when your butt has to go to the federal building several times a week it is something to worry about. Maybe he doesn't want to worry me but not knowing what is going on is troublesome. All I know is (secondhand) there is drug use, stealing (embezzlement.) and a few other things going on that he must have been involved in. It is a shame when people take jobs to uphold the law and they are the ones breaking them. This isn't the first time he has been stupid so whatever comes out I guess I will not be surprised.

"Sorry to hear that, its no excuse, but sometimes it is easy to get caught up in things that arent always right, or smart. I'm sure he meant no harm, maybe he will be ok, the rumor mill is working triple time right now tho."

"I am shocked and angry that some so-called correctional officers would use this board to trash the name of a man like regional director Clark. Just because a few bad apples may have used steriods does not mean Mr.Clark had knowlege of this. I played softball for Mr.Clark at the "Bighouse" and at the "Blue Wave", (Some of you wannabees don't know what that is), And Mr.Clark is the most ethical man I know and would never condone such activities. Some of these rumers are being spread by disgruntaled state employees and former inmates and are nothing more than a pack of lies.  Ironman

Some thoughts here:

1. How does softball provide a gauge for general ethical behavior?

2. Perhaps Ironman does not know very many ethical men.

3. Dispel all rumors by using drug tests on staff members on a regular basis. Start with a complete test, and then use a percentage of employees by random selection. Terminate all positives or refusals.

Ironman, do you want to send those requests (from an earlier post) to the state legislators? You do you want to guarantee a drug-free workplace, don't you Ironman?

Drug abuse is not uncommon in our society. To believe that it does not exist as well in the correctional community is a fantasy. Steroid, cannibis, prescription medication (pain pill) abuse, cocaine in its various forms - all create an unsafe workplane. Yes, steroid use is not considered to be as dangerous as many of the others, but "roid rage" IS a documented adverse side effect.

I assume that whomever started this topic is grouping Mr. Clark with these DOC people because its kinda widespread, and the fact that it continues without resistance raises some eyebrows. Perhaps he knows nothing of it. I hope thats the case.

It is impossible for Mr. Clark to work with these people on a regular basis and not be aware of the drug use. If he is that oblivious to the fact, then he sure as heck should not be regional director. Overlooking or turning your head to further your cause makes you just as guilty as the ones doing it. It was probably not his job to police the drug users but it was his place to see that someone did investigate the problem before it got so big. It is sad that some involved could not stand up to the peer presure and intimidation and now they may be the fall guys for the big ones.
