At first, I thought what the heck, this guy committed the crime so what, make him serve his time and if he gets a little more time then maybe he'll think twice about committing another crime. Then I suddenly relealized that wait a minute, I'm a taxpayer, and this is costing me money. I want to know how much is this costing us? Then I googled this man and low and behold, I found him on line. Now I'm so outraged that this happened to this man. As it turns out this man was innocent of the crime for which he was incarcerated and was about to released because the evidence was hidden from him. This is tragic that happened and my heart felt condolences goes out to Mr. Klein's family. One has to question what is going on here and how much have we been paying to continue to incarcerate these inmates who very should have been out. Why is it that the inmates never knew about this computer glitch? Mr. Sueww said that is caused by human error, I think not. If there was Human error that effected an inmates credits it would only delay him going to a parole of getting out. It would not put a FALSE FELONY CHARGE in an inmates file. That would be a computer glitch.

Does anyone know that Steve Suwe used to run the Restitution Center in Reno? Around 2004, he was involved in scandals that involved sex trading, drugs, inmate escapes, and etc. HOW WAS HE PROMOTED OUT? They definitely moved him elsewhere, I know for sure.

Yes. My friend Larry was at camp and they came to him telling him he had an escape charge on his record.(If you ever have an escape charge you are never aloud to go to a camp). So they hand-cuffed him and abused him. Then put him back in to medium custody. His sentence has now gained time for charges that are just now being added to his records. Even though he hasn't been out in order to even abuse the law. Sure wish he could have been out in December for my wedding like he was supposed to be... and now its already the middle of March.

Disgraceful. The prison official, Steve Suwe, in this report states "We have enough other things to do than to track how many times we screw up." The closed NV prison system officials had better start being responsible, or lawsuits on errors will break the NV taxpayer bank. Fire him now, Mr. Governor. Prisoners cost $20,000 each per year in NV? We think more. Did the prison accountant factor in the enormous medical costs for each ill and older prisoner or the costs of buildings and staff and administration to house prisoners? I'd bet the ranch that they did not. Nevada is named the 9th most corruptible state with good reason, in our opinion.

My fiance called Steve Suwe for information regarding my classification and was told I shouldn't be in camp; that I was an escapee from 2004 (didn't show up on my record till 2011). He was rude to her and told her in so many words...he was going to fix my custody level. He made good on his threat and within 15 minutes I was handcuffed (shoulder dislocated, torn rotator cuff and scapula) for three hours until the next shift, then transported to Lovelock Correctional Center (changed from minimum to medium custody level, which increased my time).
