Sounds like a real sweetheart deal to me. Who wouldn’t like a “cost plus” deal with the state? The more you spend, the more you make. Having these provisions in a contract is asking for them to run the full gamut of unnecessary tests and procedures so that they can collect their 13.5 % on top of all of it. The true losers in this deal are the tax payers.

Our governor has hired his “friend” to handle the prison system. Now she makes a multi-million on her own. Makes you wonder don’t it?

Welcome to Gov Rick Scotts World, Prison for Profit. He is funneling the tax
payers money to his corporate buddies that provide sub-standard care. I remember when FDOC had very professional and capable medical staff. on state payroll. The nurses fought for years to get the 3 %
High Risk Retirement just like the officers since they had just as much contact
with inmates as the officers. within a year FDOC and the Florida Legislators
terminated all their jobs and let them all go and privatized medical services
for FDOC. The state just keeps on settling lawsuits when inmates families sue the state, wasting even more of our tax dollars. Gov Scott spends 2 million dollars for a sea wall around a golf course and 1.3 million tax payer dollars to settle lawsuits against him for violating Florida Sunshine laws for open government. By the way State Correctional Officers have not had a raise in nine years. pathetic ,Corrupt and incompetent politicians are destroying our country and state Wake up Vote them out

Healthcare in the states prisons has become a complete nightmare and joke since Corizon came in. The greed continues, but hopefully change is coming.
