New Jersey’s lawsuit comes after GEO Group officials denied state health inspectors entry to Delaney Hall last Wednesday “because GEO already had too many visits scheduled with congressional delegations for the day,” according to court filings.
State inspectors were allowed in the next day, but were only given access to food-service areas despite requesting to also inspect the medical unit, HVAC systems, sleeping areas, and bathrooms, according to the filings. Follow up requests to complete a full inspection in the days after were denied, the filings state.
Surely the Republicans, who strenuously support states’ rights, will be outraged at the attempt to move the lawsuit to federal courts, and at the claims that the prison is exempt from state laws.
