CoreCivic paid $4.4M to settle mistreatment allegations, including 22 inmate deaths, at Tennessee facilities since 2016, with Trousdale Turner Correctional Center under federal investigation.
CoreCivic, a major private prison company, has paid over $4.4 million to settle numerous allegations of mistreatment, including 22 inmate deaths, at its Tennessee facilities since 2016. The Trousdale Turner Correctional Center, which accounts for over $1.1 million of these settlements, is under federal investigation due to persistent reports of violence and severe staffing shortages. Critics argue these settlements reflect a troubling business practice rather than genuine accountability.
