1421 Smart Man
From Leilani Taylor's point of view, she also felt that if this prison was built, it would be a good idea to let Curtis Cnutson, who was familiar with the prison system, familiar with the management of prison affairs, and had a good network in the Michigan prison system, be the warden, but Leilani Taylor could not agree to him so easily.
After a little thought, Laylani Taylor decided to give Curtis Cnutson a little hope: "Mr. Cnutson, at the moment, your past resume and your current physical condition do seem to be a good candidate for prison warden......"
β......β
Curtis Knutson didn't speak, he just nodded slightly, waiting for Laylani Taylor to continue.
"But if you can be our warden," Laylani Taylor continued, "Mr. Knutsson, I'll see how you do next." β
There's still a lot of work to be done between now when the prison is fully built and put into use, and that's what Laylani Taylor put Curtis Knutson to the test.
Curtis Knutson is overjoyed!
He is not afraid of Laylani Taylor testing himself, he believes that his ability and physical condition are capable of the role of prison warden, what he is afraid of is that Laylani Taylor will not even give him the opportunity to test, now with Laylani Taylor's words, he is suddenly full of energy, nodded heavily: "Miss Taylor, in the future, if you have any questions about prisons, anything that needs to deal with the Michigan prison system, you can leave it to me." β
This guy is really a smart guy.
Leilani Taylor became more and more satisfied with Curtis Knutson's reaction, and she bowed slightly: "So, you are now the deputy manager of the preparation department of our private prison project, is there a problem?"
Curtis Knutson immediately said, "No problem. β
Jokes aside, what was once a consultant "temporary worker" has now become the head of the preparatory department, and Curtis Knutson knows all too well what this leap means.
"So ......"
After a moment's hesitation, Laylani Taylor asked Curtis Cnutson, "Mr. Cnutson, with your knowledge of the Michigan prison system, what advice do you have for our prison? β
Curtis Knutson immediately perked up, knowing that the most important interview for him was coming......
"Scale," Curtis Knutson lowered his voice a little, even though there was no one else in the room, and asked Laylani Taylor, "Miss Taylor, with all due respect, does Mr. Fernandez have the desire to run for governor?"
Instead of answering the question, Raylani Taylor asked rhetorically, "Does this question have anything to do with our prison?"
"Yes, of course it does," Curtis Knutson nodded immediately: "If Mr. Fernandez is interested in running for governor, and he continues to pursue the policing policies that he has implemented in the city of Detroit after he became governor, then considering the previous situation in the Detroit prison system, it is foreseeable that there will be a sharp increase in the number of offenders across the state."
With the entire state of Michigan's prisons already severely overloaded, the question of how to accommodate these surge criminals is a big problem, and we can build a much larger prison. β
I see!
That's the reason, the size of this prison really has something to do with whether the boss is running for governor or not.
What surprised Laylani Taylor a little was that she seemed to underestimate this Mr. Curtis Knutson, not that there was a problem with this analysis, but for the vast majority of middle-level officials in the United States, they couldn't think so far at all, and a guy who looked far enough and was in his 60s was obviously a smart enough person not to do anything stupid that would make the boss feel unpleasant, and now it seemed that this guy could at least be the first candidate for the prison warden.
Without revealing her thoughts, Leilani Taylor nodded and answered Curtis Knutson's question in the affirmative: "The boss does have the idea of running for governor this term. β
Anyway, this is something that will be announced in a few months, and it's nothing to tell this guy in advance.
"Great," Curtis Knutson was overjoyed: "If that's the case, we can divide the construction of the entire prison into three phases, for example, the scale of the first phase is 20,000 to 30,000 convicts, and the scale of the second phase is 30,000 to 40,000 convicts, and when the third phase of the project is completed, the capacity to accommodate 100,000 convicts will be formed." Miss Taylor, I assure you, Mr. FernΓ‘ndez will make a fortune......"
Speaking of this, Curtis Knutson hurriedly assured Raylani Taylor: "Miss Taylor, please rest assured, I will never reveal half a word until Mr. Fernandez officially announces that he is running for governor!"
Leilani Taylor laughed: this guy is really a smart guy.
Although Leilani Taylor did not say that the news of Chen Geng's participation in the gubernatorial race could not be revealed, this guy was sensitive to the importance of this information and made a guarantee as soon as possible.
Nodding her head and not saying anything more, Laylani Taylor asked again, "What about the location, and where do you think it's appropriate?"
Curtis Knutson said without thinking: "Around Detroit, of course. β
"Huh?" Leilani Taylor was a little surprised, "Why?"
He thought that Curtis Cnutson would place the construction site of this prison near the state capital city of Lansing or somewhere, but he didn't expect Curtis Cnutson to suggest that it be placed near Detroit.
"Because Detroit is the Motor City of the United States, and with Mr. Fernandez's influence in the American auto manufacturing industry and the auto parts industry, we can not only get a lot of work related to automobile manufacturing here, but also reduce the cost of transportation to almost zero," Curtis Knutson said firmly, "And I don't believe that the boss will give up Detroit after going to the state government." β
This guy actually saw that the boss would stay in Detroit after running for governor?
Laylani Taylor was even more surprised by Curtis Knutson: such a smart, sharp-eyed guy turned out to be a deputy director of the Bureau of Prisons before he retired?
Raylani Taylor, who couldn't help it, asked Curtis Cnutson, "Mr. Cnutson, I'm curious, with the wisdom you have shown, how can you only be the deputy chief of the State Penitentiary Service when you retire?"
