Well.. I think, according to the news, we still have the contract until October 9th, so.. atleast it won't be soon. And there's a chance the county could just give in and give us the money that we need to renew the contract. They said they have 3 options, 1) have the County Commisioners take over responsibility of the jail (which, one of them even said on the new, that they didn't really want to do it). 2) The Sheriff's Department will run it. (this is something the county really wants, but I know from talking with a lot of the Sheriff's Deputies that they quite frankly don't want to have to run the jail) or 3) find another private company to run it.
The thing is, from what I can tell, that the county wants to pay $3.00 less per inmate (im not sure what they currently pay) but that effects my company's ability to pay it's employees the wages that we currently have, plus our benefits. So that's the reason CCA is pulling out.
*sigh* Whatever happens I hope I still have a good paying job in the end. ><
On the news, at the end of the segment I think they mentioned they might keep the current employees.. but me and my mom were talking and neither of us caught that bit.
