The state health department has requested that a judge compel GEO Group to permit a tuberculosis investigation at one of its facilities while a lawsuit is ongoing. The request follows a recent court decision in a separate case that found GEO Group in compliance with a portion of the new Colorado law governing detention facilities.
The health department’s action reflects concerns about public health oversight at private detention centers. The lawsuit and the earlier ruling highlight ongoing legal scrutiny of GEO Group’s operations under state regulations. The case is being reported by CPR News.
