'They are wasting money': Attorney criticizes Oklahoma DOC response to court orders

OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) – An attorney representing six former Oklahoma Department of Corrections (ODOC) employees said he believes the state agency is going too far by vigorously appealing orders to reinstate them.

Matthew Frisby said he's taken on each of the six employees cases in a span of just a little over a year. He said each case has gone before a judge, and a reinstatement order has been granted with backpay, but the former employees involved have not been allowed to return to work.
