Nice. Wonder how much the settlement or lawsuit for this little 'accident' will cost? Why are they not being forced to cooperate with any authorities while this matter is investigated? One might think they are trying to cover something up with such a closed door policy by GEO Group.
Our tax dollars pay for these prisons to operate; any lawsuit against them will ultimately cost us. Why not hold them accountable for what amounts to unnecessary and wasteful spending that could have been prevented if their officers were better trained, better paid and not asked to work double shifts due to being understaffed?
A prison without adequate staff is a dangerous risk to the community around it. Re: The Escape of prisoners from a private AZ facility managed by MTC of Utah who murdered two people while free. How safe are the people around Big Spring, I wonder?

Officials at Geo Group are still not formally commenting on how or why an inmate was accidentally shot at one of their Big Spring prisons.
CBS 7 contacted Geo Group's corporate office in Florida but a representative said they could not comment on administrative matters.
CBS 7 also contacted the Federal Bureau of Prisons in Washington D.C. but as of this report did not have a full report from Geo Group on exactly what happened.
A prisoner was accidentally shot in the arm by a 12 gauge weapon Tuesday morning at the Flightline Facility.
He was transported to Scenic Mountain Medical Center with minor injuries, released, and is back at the prison.
Exposing the waste of our tax dollars by politicians and private prison profiteers...
