Prison operator under federal scrutiny spent millions settling Tennessee mistreatment claims

Quick Summary:

The leading private prison company in the US has spent more than $4.4 million to settle dozens of complaints alleging mistreatment—including at least 22 inmate deaths—at its Tennessee prisons and jails since 2016.

Adrian Delk received a $120,000 settlement after seven gang members nearly beat him to death for “between 20 minutes and one hour” with no one to intervene at Hardeman in 2016, according to his lawsuit.

The 22 death settlements are also only a fraction of the 300-plus deaths in the four CoreCivic prisons since 2016.
