Snoozing guard did it before

The city correction officer caught dozing during her shift at Rikers Island clearly had been busted snoozing on the job a previous time as well, The Post has learned.

But Nadja Green, 30, will soon have all the nap time she needs — officials said yesterday she was suspended for 30 days because of the “egregiousness of her failures.”

As The Post exclusively reported yesterday, a co-worker used a cellphone camera to photograph Green conked out on the job. In the pic, she was leaning back in a chair with her eyes closed, while a grinning inmate stood next to her — as the jailhouse keys dangled from her belt.

She will be charged with two counts of sleeping on the job, a Correction Department spokesman said. The department is seeking to have her fired, a source said.

The co-worker who snapped the incriminating pic, Claudel Barrau, was suspended on Dec. 23 for 30 days without pay because cellphones are not allowed in the facility.
