Glad to hear Aramark didn't get it, at least (we tried to kick them out of ASU for not paying a living wage) - though all these folks tick it to prisoners with their prices, which in turn comes out of poor families and communities.
No word yet on the privatization of all the state prison medical services, and still waiting to hear on the new private prisons. CCA already seems to think at least one new facility will be going up in Wickenburg - they're just waiting for the ADC to put out the press release or something, so stay tuned....

ADC released an RFP for Commissary services (RFP solicitation 110154DC) on April 29, 2011. Keefe Commissary Network (the current vendor), Aramark Correctional Services, and the Compass Group all submitted responses. All were evaluated and found to be susceptible for award. ADC awarded the contract to Keefe on August 26, 2011. The new contract will begin on October 2, 2011.
