The Eriksen List
The Employees Of
Corrections and Parole
BY: Sandra Feigley,

At the order of the Commonwealth Court, this information will not be available until we have the approval of the Supreme Court. We have the complete listing of every employee of the Department of Corrections ("DOC") along with where they live and what they are paid. This is the official list required by Pennsylvania law, 72 PS 234, called section 614 of the Administrative Code of 1929.

The law requires it to be "public information." It's very enlightening. We citizens can see who works (or at least who's paid) for us in the prison system, where they live and how much we pay them

At this point, our delay in posting the list is that there are so many of these highly paid bureaucrats, 16,000 of them, that we're having difficulty finding the most effective way of posting all the information. We'd like the list to be a searchable file so that you can look up, for example, Doe, John, Corrections Officer I, born 3 February 1968, started for DOC on 21 March 1994 and was paid $1,358.40 for two weeks in October (that's about $35,439.69 a year for an ordinary guard at Albian).

We've got a team working on the project. Until it's ready, if you have an inquiry about a specific employee (employees), email us. We'll send you what we have on the person.

When we get the DOC list up, we'll also post the employee list for the Board of Probation and Parole.

According to the official directive (505.12 Amended), the list must "include, for each employee [of the Department of Corrections and the Parole Board] the name, position title, sex, date of birth, biweekly salary, appointment date, voting (residence) county, headquarters [employment] county, type of service and pay status."

We are preparing this enormous list in response to the suggestion of a guard. While he was ransacking a prisoner's cell the guard complained that the prisoner had the names (but no other information) about only a few guards. Certainly, the guards suggestion was well taken. Detailed information about ALL public servants should be readily available. As part of our obligation as a nonprofit corporation to : "relieve the government of some of its burden," we are making parts of the list available to you free of charge as a public service.
