Despite Sexual Allegations...State Extends Contract For Otter Creek
Despite sexual allegations against at least five workers at the Otter Creek Correctional Center in Wheelwright over the last three years, the state has agreed to extend, for 60 days, its contract with Corp. of America. The state has had a contract with CCA since 2005 to house up to 476 female inmates and is continuing to negotiate a two-year extension. The state claims its assessment is that it's more effective to rectify the situation at Otter Creek than to find alternative forms of incarceration. Kentucky State Police will present one case of alleged sexual abuse to a Floyd County grand jury this month.
