I couldn’t agree more with “Chillywilly”. What has happened to FDOC under Rick Scott’s watch is a breath shy of criminal. It’s just another example of robbing state agencies and employees. We need people in office who have not forgotten they are there to serve the best interest of the people….not themselves. You can not bleed agencies and their people dry, and have any expecation that quality employees will stay and we’ll qualified employees will be attracted to state jobs. Instead we as taxpayers pay to settle lawsuits, and keep up old equipment. If Scott wants to privitize state government, let him start with his own security detail.

Kevin when you go back to prison maybe you can let us all know how the new company is doing. Because very few of you stay out for long

Maybe these guys can get the care they deserve. They are human too and deserve to be treated as such. The whole Corizon deal was nothing but chaos.

Welcome to Gov Rick Scotts World, Prison for Profit .NO BID CONTRACTS 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
