“We believe this is a big deal, and that there’s a real question of whether crimes have been perpetrated on the citizens of Idaho.”-John Rusche, State House Minority Leader

I’ve been covering the evil doings of for profit prison operator CCA in the state of Idaho, and thanks to revelations that the company has been ripping off taxpayers Idaho has given Corrections Corporation of America the boot (it’s a shame that the torture of prisoners wasn’t enough to get Idaho ‘elected’ officials to come down on the CCA run “Gladiator School”).

The Idaho State Police are already conducting their own criminal investigation of CCA.  Now, state lawmakers are asking the Federal Bureau of Investigation to go after the crony capitalist crooks: “There are 26-thousand hours of fraudulent time cards in one year, and we’ve had the contract for several years! To me….it’s fraud. It’s a crime.”-John Rusche, State House Minority Leader

CCA officials claim they only recently “discovered” that their management team at the Gladiator School (Idaho Correctional Center) was lying about staffing and overcharging state taxpayers.  However, it was an investigation by Associated Press that made public the taxpayer ripoff, and only then did Idaho ‘elected’ officials (like govna Otter who’s received large campaign contributions from CCA) take action to kick out CCA.
