I thought one seen inmates in green stipes jumping in and out of trucks at the work release on Broad recently... has Mitch shut that down.
I know they used to keep them at conchetta too but as of a couple months back they were using that as a temp building for p&p... what a shite hole
They are supposed to only have work release inmates who are sentenced on municipal charges now, no state inmates. So they have like 5-6 total at a time, and they end up staying 3-4 days so they can't use them for anything they have to train them for.
We tried to get one that would regularly come work in our building (another gov't agency) but they don't keep the state inmates anymore.

a "crew" for one vacuum truck is 2-3 people.
1 or 2 of those people can be unskilled labor...the dude who pries off the lid, loosens the dirt in the basin, directs the hose, etc
the driver/operator of the truck and the vacuum cannot be a dipshit however...the vacuum on those trucks will absolutely maim or kill if you dont know what you are doing. so, instead of just subcontracting the maintenance, the city does actually own several vacuum trucks, and i assume a few skilled operators. it doesnt surprise me that they can only do about 5 per day, but if they would do that EVERY day, then progress would be made. a streetside catch basin does not fill up with sediment to the lid in days/weeks/months...it takes years of neglect for that to happen
