For profit monitoring

Very sad local story of government/corporate complicity in preying on the vulnerable.
Its current agreement with the county, signed in 2013, captures electronic monitoring clients from both the Superior Court and the Probation Department. LCA’s business model is simple: providing electronic monitoring service and supervision of the monitored for the county at no cost to the state. In fact, all of the costs as well as the profits for this multimillion-dollar company are covered by payments from the people with shackles strapped to their ankles — individuals who are often already struggling to make ends meet.
It gets worse read story here.

For-profit Leaders in Community Alternatives (LCA) company.


A trip to this companies web site will blow your mind.  Having read the story first you will think you've been transported to a perverse dystopian universe where help is harm and love is hate.
