CEO of the Kolbe Central Prison George Gomez was abruptly dismissed and unceremoniously escorted out of the prison earlier this week after less than 60 days on the job.
Today, Gomez issued a release.
He revealed in his statement that he was dismissed without cause and was given no explanation for his firing.
Gomez says that during his brief tenure under the Kolbe Foundation management, he rolled out major modernization reforms and adds, quote, "During my tenure I was consistently commended for my vision, my aptitude and my leadership." He adds, "The reason for my dismissal was not shared with me." He said that he hopes his successor will continue his efforts to modernize prison operations with professionalism and transparency.
Kolbe Chairman Francis Woods is currently the acting CEO.
