We keep hiring people for political leanings and not for managerial competence
This happens at all levels of government and it's terrifying how tolerant government is of managerial incompetence.

Need to learn that the whole point of a justice system is to reform those that you can and keep the rest locked up for life. Until that happens and is done efficiently and humanly society as a whole will suffer.

I think this is good. Even if you buy into the kind of progressive approach to juvenile justice that Schrialdi was a herald for, you can't excuse the incompetence and sloppy execution that's been happening in DJS under his watch. Hopefully Tolentino is the real deal.
Maryland Department of Juvenile Services Secretary Vincent Schiraldi — Gov. Wes Moore’s most unorthodox Cabinet member — resigned Monday after a tumultuous two years while tasked with overhauling the agency amid a spike in crime among teens.
Schiraldi, a nationally renowned youth justice reformist, said in an interview Tuesday that he told the governor’s office last month of his intent to leave the agency by the end of the calendar year, but said he would depart sooner if it made more sense logistically for the administration.
On Monday, Moore (D) said Betsy Fox Tolentino of the Roca Impact Institute will be taking the helm as acting secretary on Wednesday. Schiraldi will remain with the department through June 20, he said, to help with the leadership transition.
“I think I had become too much of a lighting rod, and I think that’s problematic,” Schiraldi said in the interview. “My hope is now that Betsy, who is terrific, will not carry my baggage.”
