nadja_green--300x300

From NYPost.com:

Maybe the inmates really are running the asylum.

A correction officer has been disciplined for dozing on the job after a colleague snapped a picture of her asleep while on post at a Rikers Island infirmary, officials said yesterday.

A clearly conked-out Nadja Green is leaning in a chair with her head back, arms folded, eyes closed and mouth open.

But even more alarming is an amused inmate seen hovering above her, mere inches from a set of keys that hangs from her belt.

The picture was circulated around the department, and a source e-mailed it to The Post.

    Not a smart place to take a nap. I hope it’s a medical reason…hold on now…the reason i say that is because if it is she can get treated for whatever it is and she can keep her job, not wishing ill on her. Her co-worker is a piece of s**t for letting her nap while an inmate stands 2 feet away.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/MrWantSomeNewBooty/ MrWantSomeNewBooty

    Obviously she was incredibly tired or she wouldn’t have been sleeping. Let’s not jump to conclusions or be too quick to judge. How many of us have over worked ourselves or have had so much going on at home and else where that it has affected our rest and / or performance at work?

    My brother was a correction officer a while ago, and told me they are not allowed to do too much of anything, and they pretty much sit there. I’m not sure how Rikers’ is, but if it’s anything like the prison at which my brother worked, I’d fall asleep, too. I’d try not too, seeing where I was, but sometimes fatigue gets the best of you.

    hey ask how many hours does she work, ask on which days was this, the 4th day of a 12hr shift..was it mandated over time she was on due to buget cuts, is she attending school to be a better person,…yeah she was wrong, deep sleep keys unsecure but the other co worker… cuz you know it wasn’t another inmate. What will they gain from this, was a pic phone/camera allowed in the faclity, was she about to move up rank and they want it….Now for my fellow officer to do this to me cause me my livelyhood when time so hard out there and i might be a single mom…i going to fuc them up. That agency should get rid of him he’s one that will make a inmate hurt an officer. There is no more brotherhood in law enforcement. Good Luck C/O Green

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/real-lady-40/ real-lady-40

    Peace,
    “RIKERS” is one of the most dangerous prisons that i know, even to go visit someone, the felamales have to lift up their bra’s. She is very lucky that the inmate that was standing by her was not doing life because he could have rape her and not think nothing about it. I know a female inmate who got rape while on duty. I hope they don’t fire the sista because times are so hard but she needs to learn from this.

    Peace and Blessings

    what the f**k why everything got to be about race maybe he was white maybe he was black but dont act like we dont do some f**ked up s**t to our own race i mean thats just a pic u got black men killing each other out here like white on rice stop crying white man all the f**king time and worry about our own damn race

    most of the officers there are black my husband is a corrections officer in md and has two people in his family working there so trust me i bet he our she was black

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Yahinus/ Yahinus

    Why have I read a few comments that say “I would bet all my money the guy who took the picture is white.” You cannot say that! That’s what makes our country so racist! This is definitely not a black or white thing, since both people in the picture are BLACK! It really doesn’t make a difference who took the picture. That’s totally irrelevant. The point is, she was caught sleeping on the job; and her faithful colleague that’s posing with her was in on it too. I don’t know of any institution where camera phones/cell phones are allowed in the first place, so that person’s actions are also in question.

    The sleeping officer has been caught with her pants down and those of you who are defending her are probably doing the same thing at your job. This is unacceptable and definitely warrants a high level of discipline. What that discipline will be should be decided by her supervisors on the merit of her past work ethic and taking into account the seriousness of her actions. I don’t know that I would fire the officer at all, but definitely not immediately!

    Chinadolo… I totally agree with you!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/chinadollo1/ chinadollo1

    the sad thing about it is she should thank her lucky stars that there are other officers around the inmates dont care about u and she could have lost her life got rapped beat up anything we already know that there is more inmates then officers in any prison and i take my life serious that is not a place u would want to be sleeping she is a officer and her duty is to guard these criminals and how can she do that while sleeping that one incident could have caused some major trouble there depending on how the inmates felt so if u ask me she let her gard down big time and could have put other officers in danger as well her eyes are there for a reason and she was not using them

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/SIZE14EEE/ SIZE14EEE

    For all those defending this woman…you Enabling ass bastards are one of the reasons our race is so f**ked up. You defend this, you defend the R.kellys you defend all the f**ked up people who do trifling ass s**t. When most of you were young , TOUGH LOVE got you thru. Im a corrections officer and that woman put everyone in that prison life in danger inmates and all. Now the fact that she is black? Oh that really doesnt help. It is so sad that even today after all we have been thru as a people that a majority of black people still have no idea the intense scrutiny that we are under as a race at all times. Even when we are the victim they find some way to make us the villain. Look at the whole tiger woods fiasco. They all are centered on his infidelity, NO ONE HAS EVEN MENTIONED THE FACT THAT THIS WOMAN ATTACKED HIM! But had he caught her cheating and done the same , it would all be about domestic violence. We need to start being even harder on us then they are. it’s one of the few ways we can clean up our act. Dont take what I he said and try to turn it into a I dont like my own people thing , its actually the extreme opposite. I Love My people and I hate to see them allow themselves to get caught up in s**t like this.

    Whether the officer who took the picture was white, green, blue or black, I think they did the right thing in exposing the sleeping officer. If the people who are suppose to be gaurding the prison are sleepy on the job, in my opinion they should be fired! This officer could’ve lost her life and put many others in harms way as well. And who in their right mind would go to a job like that and not be fully rested & prepared to perform their job? I have NO sympathy for her! Give the job to someone who is capable of performing it.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Johny_Thomes/ Johny_Thomes

    I’m disappointed she got fired. I worked my ass off early shift, late shift, night shifts….. it happened to me only once that I fell asleep, but I did. We’re just human, and so is this lady. On the other hand, the person who took the picture should get his ass fired. He should have been more responsible and wake her up. They should kick his ass out of there for being such a dickhead, using electronic devices on the job, and to be a Jude eerrr Judas.
    In some specific jobs, like the one this lady was doing, none should be allowed to work alone, thats a big mistake they themselves are responsible for. Instead of removing her, they should take a lesson out of this, because the one replacing her, is human also, which doesn’t reduce the chance of this happening again. Fire the betrayer, and restore this woman’s honor. And all those who are judging her, look at all stupid things you’ve done on your jobs. Everybody has them, so don’t judge.
    Best wishes to all of you,
    God Bless you!!

    wtf, why are you taking pictures of your colleague sleeping on the job and then POSTING it or letting your boss see it, are you a dumb as…YES, yes you are.

    I don’t understand all the people that think that she deserves it and she is lucky she didn’t raped or killed..etc. I agree she is lucky nothing like that happened but but she obviously nodded off in a area she either knew was secure or she may have been possible talking to said colleague and nodded of. I think the error here is on the person taking the picture. In a society to obsessed with getting the shot people behind the lense tend to lose moral judge and common sense in getting something that may go viral on the net. WAKE UP PEOPLE.

    YOU ARE NOT TO FALL ASLEEP AT WORK AND ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE GUARDING DANGEROUS CRIMINALS.
    IF YOU CANT HELP YOURSELF FROM NODDING OFF GO GET ANOTHER GUARD YOUR SITUATION AND HOPE THAT HE CAN COVER FROM YOU WHILE YOU TAKE A NAP IF PERMITED, IF HE CANT THEN TELL YOUR SUPERVISOR AND HE SHOULD ALLOW YOU TO GO HOME FOR THE DAY.
    THANK YOU HR REP.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/COOL-V/ COOL-V

    for the time it took for the idiot photographer to take the picture the same time could have been used to wake the lady up and tell her not to sleep like that on the job. But nooooo House Negro’s always try to impress the “whitey” by making OTHER Blacks look stupid. If there was any care in the world for this womans job security the CO worker should have woke her up and warned her. Not do this and then send the picture to the damn newspaper then Black people wonder why we cant get along with one another! I bet the theory was this…”hmm lets make other black folks look bad and then let me send the proof to the newspaper to advertise the fault and make us look worse…..do i get a reward for telling on my fellow black co-worker Mr whitey???” dumb asses! and for all of you folks that think this person was endangering others? Who took the picture????? an INMATE or an OFFICER?? I think an OFFICER– so how much ENDANGER was she really in?? Think people and stop passing judgement!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/maddox2u2/ maddox2u2

    Sad to say but truck drivers have fallen asleep behind the wheel and lives have been lost. Teachers have fallen asleep in the classroom at their desks and the kids would have a free period. Some teachers have been on drugs and fell asleep in class. Pilots have fallen asleep and even been
    intoxicated while in flight. Duuuhhhhhhhhh! This happens frequently.
    I just wish someone would take pictures of these people too. I’ve witnessed sorry azz teachers doing the above. Maybe if more people take
    pictures of these idiots, they’ll think twice.

    ME: what stereotype, BIboy? Why turn this into a race thing? In your weak mind a pic of a black female guard sleeping indicts the entire black race? That’s proof of the kind of stupid racist mentalities make this nation go round and round…

    If you think white folk ain’t asleep at (work) wheel, take a look at this COUNTRY and this ECONOMY.

    Regarding this fitting the “stereotype” NOBODY has worked harder in this country than the black woman. Study HER history from slavery to her working in the fields AND raising AND nursing the white female’s babies, even AFTER slavery to today where she has been the “first woman” in far more categories than any white or brown or yellow females.

    As a matter of fact, that’s probably why you made that comment…a lot of BW are out-working and out-achieving your azz…moving on…

    regarding the pic, yeah, that was wrong to fall asleep on the job, especially considering the circ**stances. But I understand, cause if she’s working the midnight shift, when that sleep hits you, it’s almost like drug…been there, done that…

    To me, the REAL question is what kinda “colleague” would snap a pic of a woman while a male prisoner is just inches away INSTEAD of immediately waking her up and securing that convict? That’s lowdown AND callous, and an obvious attempt to get this black female guard into trouble. Makes me wonder what that pic snapper’s race and sex was…

    Both the pic-snapper and the sleeper should have been punished, because the pic shows a bigger problem than an employee falling asleep on what might have been the midnight shift…

    As I wrote here before, the lady deserves to keep her job, the one who took the pic must be ass-kicked out of there for not taking responsibility for the wellbeing of his/her colleague. She is a human being, not a robot, so things like this can happen….therefore a person with this job should not be allowed to work alone. They should work with 2 guards, then if both are sleeping its a right decision to kick them out. She’s supposed to keep her job, and be restored in her image and honor. If I were her, I would sue my so called colleague, and all those who disrespected my privacy….. damn I’d get rich…..

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/PtahUsirII/ PtahUsirII

    I agree totally with Cool V. The person who took the picture needs his or her ass whooped. I’ve worked in corrections over several years, and it is a dangerous environment. White people keep s**t “in house” and you never hear about it. I guarantee you if this woman would have been white, we would’ve never heard about this. But since she’s black, her face gets plastered all
    over the net to look foolish. This s**t isn’t funny it’s sad, because in the corrections business we (as in “us” blacks)are forced to work double shifts of overtime (not just two or three hours). This causes our bodies to shutdown sometimes …and this could basically happen to any one of us.
    The devils don’t care because they continue to make billions of dollars off the prison industrial complex. Their evil asses are at home in their beds, sleeping comfortable. Let’s have a conversation about that!

    Hookitis first of all read what the hell i wrote BEFORE u type at me. I am responding to the people that think that this womans actions caused danger in the prision– Obviously u didnt read the ENTIRE article… had u of read it you would have noticed that when the NY POST sent its reporter to interview the OFFICER that took this picture the NY POST REPORTER took the picture of the OFFICER…the OFFICERS ALLEGED RESPONSE was “why are you taking a picture of me???” Now if u sent the picture to the newspaper trying to SETUP your co worker why dont u want your picture taken by the SOURCE u sent it to? Now does that make sense???? Of course not…see this is what happens in the workplace when it comes to these types of blacks u know what its called?? CRAB IN A BARRELL! Now am i passing judgemnt on the reporter?? Maybe so…but it is DEAD WRONG to make your co-worker look stupid in this fashion that is not the CHRISTIAN thing to do…did u all look at the resume of this woman?? Obviously not…shes well qualified for her position..so before u FAULT someone GET the whole facts first. Thank you!

    I don’t know what her situation was, maybe she was on a double shift and was just tire, I guess she now know that the people she have been working with for how ever long she been there can’t be trusted to have her back. You know – wake me up – don’t set me up. Last I thought personal cell phones were not allowed on site durring your shift or turned off and left in a locker if you worked in a prison.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/straight1/ straight1

    After reading this story I would have to say about this situation that I understand why Nadja Green would end up falling asleep on the job. I worked doing security and I used to work the late shift at nights and there were times where I was tired and nodded off. I understand where she is coming from but in her case it is a little more serious working at a prison with full of inmates. I dont think what she did should cost her job just talk to her about it and give her a write up thats it plain and simple.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Artist_of_Virtue/ Artist_of_Virtue

    First off, this situation don’t have a got done shyt to do with racism or stereotypes. I no sympathy for neither guards wrong doing and certainly no excuses, it is obvious she did not use all the obstacles she would have faced going to work that done tired, that’s real pathetic of her. She better be glorified it was a good day, even for the prisoners. Out of the odd case scenarios any day could have been a terrible day for that many people in that prisons, WTF was both guards thinking????? And the one with the Camera was just as stupid as she was, just by his hands un-free to defend in the worst case scenarios who could have been attacked as well. You are dealing with professional criminals that probably think everyday about catching a prison guard off alert any giving day. FIRED both of their ASSES!!!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/ruff75/ ruff75

    First of all I agree one hundred percent with Cool-V on this one. How in the hell do your Co-worker have time to take your picture and put it on the website and cause the other person public embarrassment? That tells about the motherf**ker that took this picture does not care about that woman’s job.And yeah the person who took it was black,it’s true black people do not want to see each other get ahead Especially Family!!!!!!!!!!!! and no black people can not get along, I used to work at a female prison here in Raliegh,N.C. and It was ran by predominately black people and the damn place is no more than a damn W***e House /Ghetto. I suffered Slander, Defamation of Character,Humiliation,False Accusations,The Works. And I said to myself I will never ever work at another f**king all black prison,store,or anything because these people are full of s**t but now i have something going up against these same shady f**king people I can’t tell you but, these people were nasty ass niggas I don’t care what anybody says. now to work beside them is just as bad. this lady probably already gotten written up for sleeping so what’s the purpose of this? It’s CUTTHROAT NIGGA S**T. No black people can’t get along or work together either!!!!P.S. The Military Is also Just As Bad.

    If you are not good at organizing your day, don’t work dangerous jobs period, especially working 16 hours a day. Chances are you do have some hours of a day to get the average 4 hours sleep to make it through a day’s work. No excuses!!!!!

    Ruff 75 i hear you my brotha im going through it to at my job…all of my supervisors are black.. same thing defamation- slander– false accusations bruh do we work at the same job? lol lol but seriously for those people that blame this lady for falling alseep let me ask u this…do u blame a front desk clerk for falling alseep during third shift?? Or how about a taxi driver waiting outside to pick up there passenger if he sleeps do u blame him for that? Obviously the woman felt it was safe to sleep being that she was around a CO WORKER or CO WORKERS..and secondly this woman never ever had a problem sleeping on the job before this incident. This is RACISM you know why?? Becaue UNCLE TOM HOUSE NEGRO ( PHOTOGROPHER) yes HE IS BLACK BY THE WAY —sold out his CO WORKER TO A RACIST WHITE NEWSPAPER in the NY POST THAT HAS BEEN KNOWN TO DEFAME BLACKS>.. Please people THINK!!!! The owner of this newspaper RUPPORT MURDOCH also owns the FOX NETWORK! Do u all watch FOX NEWS CHANNEL???? I sure as hell dont and why????? Because they are depicting BLACKS in a negative light just like this UNCLE TOM dumb ass tried to do to this CO WORKER. Its a damn shame and im tired of these stupid ass House Negros trying to get ahead and make other Blacks look bad. HMM most TV guests on FOX NEWS CHANNEL are MAKING OUR OWN RACE LOOK BAD. COIENCIDENCE??????? At the end of the day the HOUSE NEGRO is still nothing but a “BLACK N****R” to whitey. AND if he (WHITEY) can find a DUMB ASS BLACK SELLOUT THEN HE HIMSELF DOESNT HAVE TO PROCLAIM HOW MESSED UP A RACE IS HE WILL LEAVE THE HOUSE NEGRO TO DO IT FOR HIM!! Sorry for the harshness of this but for these people defending this Officers actions in taking this picture u need to rethink your position…had this woman been known to do this constantly then it should have been handled IN HOUSE! Instead we have a black woman looking bad in the media for falling asleep in a prision house….Nice. What a sellout that photographer was. What was really accomplished here?? MAKING US LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOK BAD! THATS WHAT!

    —————————————————————————

    lol@ Jrock_Baller sending me a note good ole p***y style to say Im a racist because white folks did me wrong? Fool u 19 u dont know a thing about me..i speak about facts regarding this case. No one did me wrong! lets get that straight youngbuck. I can handle myself in Corporate America can you?? Do u even have a job?? An education at that?? All I see in you is a young guy just fulfilling the NEGATIVE STEREOTYPE of Black America (oh wait u dont look black actually hmm high yellow perhaps) with your so called thug image camera shot in your profile. And of course your BP name speaks for itself.

    I have an education and i know how the media works i majored in it. So when your finished playing THUG BOY BALLA cartoon character ass and want to join us here in the real world?? Then type to me you stupid f**k. My apologies to the rest of the contributors…i just had to set the record straight with cornroll ass over there.

    mr cool v i would love to see what you would do if you was running a business and walked in on your employers while sleeping no matter if it was 1 or all of them and since u are such the business man and educated in it then u should know better

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/chinadollo1/ chinadollo1

    what i do know is that corec officers are just like police officers they get away with everything they never get fired right off the bat my ex is a corec officer the warnings they get is amazing it is a state job and they are not jobs that u get fired from easily 9 times out of 10 she has been warned and has been written up several times before she lost her job

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/COOL-V/ COOL-V

    Well Ms Chinadollo what i would is REPRIMAND her not post her picture in a RACIST newspaper. Now ms smart alec isnt that the EDUCATED WAY TO HANDLE THINGS BUSINESS WISE?????

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/COOL-V/ COOL-V

    U obviously didnt read the whole article SHE DIDNT LOSE HER JOB! She was transferred to another division..I wish u would get all the facts before making a statement.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/A-trainaz/ A-trainaz

    SHE SHOULD GET THE PROPER REST OFF DUTY, FELLOW GUARDS SHOULD STICK TOGETHERE THIS COULD OF TURNED OUT REAL UGLY FOR BOTH SIDES. BE MINDFULL OF WHAT IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO IN ANY SITUATION. WE’VE ALL MADE MISTAKES ONLY GOD WILL JUDGE THE FINAL CALL FOREVER KEEPING THIS IN MIND.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/chinadollo1/ chinadollo1

    well first of all that just goes to show what i said they get many chances and i hope she has learned that by now she cant go sleeping on yhe job and i never once said it should be all over the internet and yes i agree i dont think i would have done this as well but we have people out here that will do anything for attention and thanx for the compliment i do consider my self smart and maybe if you would have done the same thing u would have noticed that i never said one thing about it being on the net

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/chinadollo1/ chinadollo1

    o and to answer all ur questions about do u blame the clerk my answer is yes i do if u fall asleep on the job its no one else to blame but you just like i said before i will blame a truck driver for falling asleep behind the wheel and killing the other family on the road paying attention to the road and yes i will blame the pilot for sleeping while flying gthe plain and it crashes and kills everyone on the plain i wonder who u would blame if it was ur family our if u had a family member in jail our maybe even someone u know working there and a riot brakes out and maybe just maybe that one extra pair of eyes could have prevented someone from getting hurt our killed and i know what u may say she had other gards around maybe she did maybe she didnt maybe they walked in on her after she napped for a few min but let me tell you its like 2 our 3 gards for every 30 inmates

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/COOL-V/ COOL-V

    Umm Chinadollo you asked me a question i gave you an answer you stated “you would love to see what I would do if I was running a business and walked in on my employees sleeping” i gave you my answer. I said I would REPRIMAND HER. Then you want to challenge my statement of me being educated and having business sense blah blah blah..Now why is this over the internet and in a newspaper?? I have a problem with that! So dont accuse me of not understanding you…i fully understand what your saying. U need to understand what I am saying my problem is NOT that the woman was sleeping on the job! We all make mistakes and that should be handled IN HOUSE! My problem is that some a*****e went as far as sending the photo to a RACIST NEWSPAPER! A Black person at that! U and me have no right to JUDGE this woman u dont know this woman nor do I. I do know that she is well qualified to handle the job based on her record. I do have a right to state my opinion on some idiot UNCLE TOM that wants to make a colleague and fellow black look bad in the media and for the world to see. So u can continue to bash the woman like your so perfect. I bash the act of the photographer doing what he did!

    OMG This is so dangerous that inmate could have killed her in her sleep and stole her keys and escaped. I used to be a correctional officer and I do agree that taking a picture and sending it to a newspaper is too much she should have been suspended and or lost her job. I have heard of many things that Correctional officers do but I never heard of taking pictures to show them, this makes the officer and the jail or prison itself look bad.
    I know she is embarrassed that this is all over the internet.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/LastManStandingTall/ LastManStandingTall

    I’m not surprised that it’s a black woman, but that would be racist of me to write that (LOL)

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/SexyNavyChick/ SexyNavyChick

    Ruff75 I am so sorry about what happened but I can relate, but at a prison run by whites is much worse I am a college educated unemployed young woman cause I wouldnt sleep around at my job. In 2008, I was lied on and got fired when I filed A sexual harrassment compliant because a BLACK officer was repeatly saying sexual comments and asking me about am I sleeping with other officers, I remained professional but lost my job, he however kept his job, the 21 year old no license having weed smoker, he finally lost his job and certification weeks later when was pulled over without a license. Thanks to FL DOC I cant get a job anywhere do to the lies they said about me, I filed a complaint with EEOC and that is still pending. I have a degree and working on another one, a Corrections certification but they want to believe the lies about me. Its so sad how people treat other people I hope whoever took that picture of that correctional officer sleeping got in trouble too!!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/ollie319/ ollie319

    I think everyone is missing the point on this one. Yes, the guard should not have dozed if and should be disciplined, BUT the colleague that took the pic should be disciplined as well. She was at greater risk because instead of being awakened, the coworker chose to snap pics instead. If I were to fire anybody, it would be the photographer.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/CaliFemme23/ CaliFemme23

    COOL-V, You ‘checked’ jroc the young balla very nicely, I never once thought to BLAST people that send me the ‘hate’ notes regarding my posts..lol. And I agree with your stand point on this. True she should not have fallen asleep..BUT we really dont know this woman or what she may have been experiencing at the time…Who knows, this might have been a double shift for her, she could have been a little under the weather, anything. I to have worked double shifts in a hospital and it takes every ounce of will NOT to fall asleep the first chance you get to have a seat! She should have been reprimanded yes, BUT the idiot who took the picture should be as well, even harder I think because co workers shouldnt put others at risk like this. We all know her intent was not to head right into work and take a nap!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Hopecatcher/ Hopecatcher

    SMH, wow she should be dismissed. Now that is a reason to be dismissed. Notice how the keys were there and accesable to the inmate. As a former Marine that worked as Brigg staff and also for DOC, it is truly ridiculous because security at ALL TIMES IS A MUST. Absolutely ridiculous. LOL An oath is taken to provide security to the community she is not doing that. Had she worked where I worked GOOD BYE……… LOL Rikers is big time they should be harder because they just should!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Hopecatcher/ Hopecatcher

    Ollie I totally agree with you because we are not to have cell phones on the camp nor camera phones or recording devices that is in the Policy and Procedure handbook, unless it changed. Good observation. LOL
