The Management and Training Corporation (MTC} was founded in 1980, but "its roots stretch back to the mid-1960s when MTC was first conceived through the Education and Training Division of Thiokol Corporation. Since 1966, it has operated centers for Job Corps -- a U.S. Department of Labor job-training program that prepares young people for meaningful careers. MTC entered the corrections industry in 1987 when it opened one of the first privately-operated corrections facilities in the United States." [1] also see
In July 2006 "Management & Training Corporation (MTC) today elected Andrew S. Natsios to its eight-member Board of Directors." [2]
Writing in 2006 for the Le Monde diplomatique Avery F. Gordon noted that: "Lane McCotter is an executive with Management and Training Corporation, a private prison company, which he joined after being forced to resign as director of the Utah Department of Corrections, following the death of a prisoner who had been shackled naked to a chair for 16 hours. US Attorney General John Ashcroft chose McCotter to direct the reopening of the Iraqi prisons under US rule and to train Iraqi guards; McCotter chose Abu Ghraib as the best site for the main prison and then oversaw its organisational transition."
