kind of stuff, and Larry didn't say a word to them about it." I asked if NC Young was
involved in the discussions about the magazine and Offender ~eplied, "yes, " but
could not be exact as to what NC Young said.
Offender. claimed that A/C Young assigned her to less desirable working areas of
the kitchen, areas that are usually designated for inmates just starting. Offender ~
felt that this was retaliation for a disagreement that she had with her counselor ~
Scott-Young, wife of NC Young. Offender_ claims that Arlene Scott-Young

Conclusion:

A review of the kitchen roster for February 12,2005 indicates that Offende~as
not assigned to work kitchen detail, therefore not present on that date.
The viewing of the magazine in question and the sexually explicit conversations by
offenders appear to be two separate incidents occurring at different times. Grievance
#0503588 initiated by Offender -'ndicates that these were simultaneous occurrences
with one stemming from the other. Testimony of the above staff and offenders indicate
that A/C Young did view the magazine however no evidence supports that he made
sexual comments about the magazine or otherwise. At this time the allegations of NC
Young partaking in conversations of a sexual nature with offenders are unsubstantiated
and unfounded.
