The comment from the Boston based consultant to "implement efficiencies" would be comical if the state hadn't already spent close to a half million dollars between the companies in Boston and Miami.

I have no idea what DOC pays out to GEO Group for running Alaska halfway houses, but I do know they hire employees at $10-$11 per hour and it shows.  GEO certainly knows how to shave every dollar for the services they provide, starting with paychecks for Alaskans. The issues at halfway houses in Alaska reflect the employees hired off craigslist, paid minimal wages and who receive substandard training.
