“GEO Group, which has been become known for inmate abuse, violations, and disregard for the truth, agreed to be subject to OSHA monitoring.  Among the allegations was its willful failure to provide adequate security staff in prisons and to equip staff with essential safety equipment that would protect staff from ‘stabbings, bites, and other injuries.’ Violations included failures as basic as failure to fix malfunctioning locks on cell doors. In one instance, there were only three guards at a prison.  GEO has faced allegations of intentionally under-staffing its prisons in a number of its facilities. In early February, the firm agreed to pay Idaho $1 million to settle a claim of chronic false staffing records.”
