Follow-up Report on the Review of Correctional Privatization

Report 97-06, September 1997




Report Summary

  • The Governor's staff is working to resolve the lack of cooperation.
  • By not working cooperatively, the Department and the Commission are not maximizing the potential benefits privatization may offer the state. Instead of using privatization as a tool to increase the efficiency of corrections services delivery, the Department and the Commission have moved towards operating a dual corrections system that may be duplicative.
