Mississippi private prison corporation tries to trick federal judge. He notices...
You’re under federal orders to improve conditions. So, instead, you transfer inmates to other terrible prisons, and call it ‘improvement.’ Clever, but no.. the judge is alive and can rad and notices…
“Management & Training Corp., which manages the prison, said in a statement that the company and MDOC has made good-faith efforts to address issues raised in the consent decree, including removing children and seriously mentally ill prisoners. MTC also said the facility is safe, secure, clean and accredited by the American Correctional Association. In addition, the prison has eliminated long-term segregation and high-security-risk prisoners.
#In doing so, MDOC unsuccessfully asked a federal judge this spring to lift the court order. In an ordered handed down last week, U.S. District Judge Carlton Reeves wrote that prisoners’ rights continued to be exposed to “current and ongoing violations.”
Let’s hear it for Judge Reeves. YEA!!!
