Though federal investigators have found no evidence that criminalization has reduced the pace of border crossings over the long term, prosecutions for illegal entry and re-entry rose from fewer than 4,000 a year at the start of Bill Clinton\u2019s presidency, to 31,000 in 2004 under George W.

Five are run by the GEO Group, four by the Corrections Corporation of America, and two by a privately held company called the Management &amp; Training Corporation. (A third MTC prison was recently shut down after inmates ransacked it in a protest.) Except for a prison largely used to house inmates from Washington, DC, these 11 facilities are the only privately run prisons in the federal criminal-justice system. In 2013, the BOP spent roughly $625 million on them. The contracts include the provision of medical care, for which the companies often hire health-services subcontractors. In one such facility in Reeves County, Texas, the BOP entered into an agreement with the county, which in turn hired GEO to operate the prison and Correct Care Solutions to manage prison healthcare.<\/p>\n<section>\n<div>\n<div>\n<h2>Popular<\/h2>\n<p><span><span>&#8220;swipe left below to view more authors&#8221;<\/span>Swipe \u2192<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<div>\n<div>\n<h3>\n<span>State Farm Is Embroiled in Scandal\u2014and Things Just Got Worse<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                State Farm Is Embroiled in Scandal\u2014and Things Just Got Worse<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n<p>\nJ.C.

The BOP may have incentivized the understaffing: The financial penalties for failing to fill open LVN positions were so modest that it cost CHC less simply to leave them vacant.<\/p>\n<section>\n<div>\n<div>\n<h2>Popular<\/h2>\n<p><span><span>&#8220;swipe left below to view more authors&#8221;<\/span>Swipe \u2192<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<div>\n<div>\n<h3>\n<span>State Farm Is Embroiled in Scandal\u2014and Things Just Got Worse<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                State Farm Is Embroiled in Scandal\u2014and Things Just Got Worse<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n<p>\nJ.C.

In 2005, the Justice Department released two reports on Taft, one by an outside research firm and another performed by an economist contracted directly by the BOP. The outside researchers found that GEO, then the facility\u2019s operator, had cut costs. But the BOP-contracted economist found that even these savings were eclipsed by the extra costs to the BOP of monitoring the prison and administering its contract.<\/p>\n<section>\n<div>\n<div>\n<h2>Popular<\/h2>\n<p><span><span>&#8220;swipe left below to view more authors&#8221;<\/span>Swipe \u2192<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<div>\n<div>\n<h3>\n<span>State Farm Is Embroiled in Scandal\u2014and Things Just Got Worse<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                State Farm Is Embroiled in Scandal\u2014and Things Just Got Worse<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n<p>\nJ.C.

(The review was obtained by independent attorney Steven Raher.) Among the findings, Reeves\u2019s medical unit had repeatedly failed to provide HIV tests to patients with past tuberculosis exposure.<\/p>\n<section>\n<div>\n<div>\n<h2>Popular<\/h2>\n<p><span><span>&#8220;swipe left below to view more authors&#8221;<\/span>Swipe \u2192<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<div>\n<div>\n<h3>\n<span>State Farm Is Embroiled in Scandal\u2014and Things Just Got Worse<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                State Farm Is Embroiled in Scandal\u2014and Things Just Got Worse<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n<p>\nJ.C.
