. MTC said it had already paid back penalty fees for not having enough workers under the terms of the contract.
For Joshua Ladd, that meant he had to undergo a substance abuse treatment program before he could be released on parole for a methamphetamine-related conviction. But the 48-year-old said he didn’t get any help from MTC to stay clean on the outside when he was transferred to the Gist State Jail for treatment in April 2020.
He said a sample timesheet was taped on one of the dorm windows, telling them to mark off 20 hours of direct treatment when all they’d received was paperwork. Kathryn Theune, 32, said there is group programming, but it is led by prisoners, not MTC employees. She said she has not received any individual therapy since she was enrolled in September.

Hey but tedcruz GregAbbott_TX DanPatrick KenPaxtonTX are all upstanding leaders whose oversight of these facilities is about as good as it is with: -ERCOT -Gun Reform -Drug Reform Policies -Healthcare (not prenatal care, only) -Listening to constituents 🤡🤡🤡🤡
Private for profit prisons, private for profit schools, private for healthcare, private VA contractors. Seems like a pattern to me. Anyone else?
FrakerMonica GregAbbott_TX What’s up here? I’m sure there will be a very transparent investigation.
Probably in Greg’s checking account for his next vacation 🙂 GregAbbott_TX
A privatize prison defrauding Texas, I’m shocked! Guess this is the business plan for privatize schools!
Same thing they will continue to do with LE training. They did it before, even created a university dept to cover the non delivery of billed services. They will do it again and again.
How much went to Abbott?
In a lawless state like Texas where an Attorney General under indictment still roams free spewing hate, I doubt anything will be done here. GregAbbott_TX gonna turn another blind eye here.
a_patriciann The state isn’t going to do anything. The state takes millions of DOC’s budget and spends it on other things. This needs a DOJ federal-level civil rights intervention.
txchristabelle Sounds like a GregAbbott_TX win! Way to go Texas! Add that to the grid probs etc…but you passed on the real solution: BetoORourke
FrakerMonica Good. GovAbbott fails TX over and over and over again.
FrakerMonica Check Abbott’s checking account.
Shabannie This is what Republicans want to do to all federal services like Medicare, Social Security, public schools, USPS, & more prisons. There’s ZERO accountability but we’re still paying for it! Private companies don’t abide by the Freedom of Information Act. They are profit driven!
This your accounting and management, greg? GovAbbott GregAbbott_TX
Wonder how much this vendor contributed to Texas Republicans?
Can the public also sue for the covid relief money that was meant for public ed but none ever went to it?
FrakerMonica Let me guess, Greg Abbott and his cronies are involved somehow.
We do not have free market capitalism in America; we have crony capitalism. There is a huge difference between free market capitalism which democratizes a country and makes us more efficient and prosperous and corporate crony capitalism. — Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
FrakerMonica How much is Greg’s cut?
Too bad the voters in Texas didn’t recognize Abbott and his cronies have been robbing them for 8 yrs - Texans had chance to get rid of them - sad!
Texas deserves better leadership focused on the health and well-being of all Texans
FrakerMonica While we are at it, I’d like to point out the issues we have with Juvenile Justice & using Juvie for mental health centers or homeless shelters (it’s illegal to be a runaway—even from abusive parents that “use force to subdue a Juvenile delinquent”—in Texas). 1/2
LatinosMatter Texas politicians, doing what they do best: Corruption.
a_patriciann Of course.
Shocking, said no one.
Same as ERCOT. Collected millions of dollars to maintain and upgrade the grid, but never did. Then after a nearly 5M donation to Abbott's re-election, they got off without penalty.
In 2019 the US Gov paid $620.6 million to this Corp. I don't think we got our monies worth.
Shocking corruption in TX
so many people making money off the prison system, no wonder the US has such a huge prison population
Shocking absolutely no one
rhonda_harbison Shrug** nothing will be done.
This is surprising at all?
Article doesn't mention if there are MTC donations to Abbott's AbbottLiesTexansDie portfolio. Unless I missed it; then NVM.
Abbott s. Failure 99
I see Jail time for that contractor.
Prisons for profit - what could possibly go wrong?
