From what we hear the maintenance crews at Corrections Corporation of America's Stewart Detention Center are going to be really busy this week. A source from the Detention Centers alleges that the maintenance supervisor would not previously order parts for housing units because he did not want to break his CCA mandated budget. From what we have heard more than 50 cells have been without lights for close to 3 months now. Counting detainees in the dark must be a real challenge. It's a good thing those bulbs finally came in this week. I am sure that ICE is doing such a great job in monitoring this contract that something like this just could not be going on. Just don't pay any attention to all the work orders for burned out light bulbs or all those maintenance crews running around on the facilities surveillance cameras replacing them...
I tell you what, next time your multi-million dollar profit making company decides that light bulbs are not in the budget for three months just drop me an email. I will see if I can put together a bake sale in the Stewart Detention Center parking lot to buy them for you.
Perhaps Warden Swinton just needs to get Tom Bodett to join his maintenance team...
Please keep in mind that all opinions expressed here are just that. Please cross check anything you read before forming your own opinion.
"Absolutely CCA does not cut corners to save costs." Surely they would not lie.....
