This in-depth report by @Allie_Kite explores understaffing, violence and drugs at @CoreCivic prison in Leavenworth — described by a federal judge as a notorious "hell hole" — with sourcing of former guards, public defenders and inmate's widow #ksleg kansasreflector.com/2021/10/07/for…
Judge Julie Robinson said she could only describe it as "an absolute hell hole."

"The court is aware of it,” she said. “The defense bar is aware of it. The prosecutors are aware of it. The United States Marshals are aware of it"
#ksleg kansasreflector.com/2021/10/07/for…
“I have clients that have been in the hardest federal prisons and know how to do hard time, and they’re terrified,” said Melody Brannon, federal public defender for the District of Kansas.

The Department for Children and Families secretly withheld millions in payments to private operators of the state foster care system, propelling them toward financial ruin and directly contributing to the suffering of kids in state custody #ksleg cjonline.com/news/20200516/…
Through documents and interviews over the past six months, I learned the state delayed more than $21M in payments to Saint Francis Ministries and KVC Kansas and never paid for at least $1.8 million in services from FY 2017 #ksleg cjonline.com/news/20200516/…
The private contractors couldn't say anything at the time, or now, because they were bound by state-imposed nondisclosure agreements. The indication is that the actual losses were much worse than DCF acknowledges #ksleg cjonline.com/news/20200516/…
