Despite Sequestration’s looming layoffs and furloughs, which Eric Holder warned, “Would have an impact on the safety of this country,” his DOJ continues to employ “558 prison recreation specialists.”

Oklahoma Conservative Senator, Tom Coburn, sent Holder a scathing letter today that condemned the DOJ for employing these leisure specialists whose job it is to plan exercise routines and other “frivolities” for prison inmates.

Coburn also condemned Holder’s DOJ for wasting more than 58 million dollars on conferences during 2012 alone.

One DOJ conference during 2012 included 30 employees traveling to Indonesia, costing $500,000; another cost $200,000 for 4 employees to head to Senegal; a third cost $100,000 for a conference in the Northern Mariana Islands that was not attended by anyone from the DOJ.”
