Britain: Prisons Privatisation Cancelled Amid Serco Probe
November 22nd, 2013Via: BBC:
Plans to privatise three prisons have been cancelled because of an ongoing investigation into the leading bidder.
The justice secretary said the prison service would remain in charge at Hatfield, Lindholme and Moorland, all in South Yorkshire, while allegations against Serco remained outstanding.
The contractor is accused of over-charging the government for electronically tagging prisoners.
