At the Nov. 16 meeting, staff updated the board on reentry programming and the county's contract with GEO Group.
An ADC staff speaker said GEO has completed approximately one year under the current contract, teaching about 20 classes a week and meeting performance expectations. Staff described programming offered to eligible inmates — GED instruction, reentry workshops, religious services and workforce training — and said GEO has been "doing an excellent job" and that the county intends to renew the contractor's agreement.
Board members asked for updates to be submitted via staff contact and were reminded that any contract renewal would be handled through regular county procurement and oversight processes. No formal renewal vote occurred at the meeting; staff said questions about the reentry program can be emailed to a staff contact (Sarah) for follow-up.
