Maggots, drug smuggling, sex with inmates. As if the news were not already bad enough, shocking new allegations of a murder-for-hire plot are emerging from Michigan as the media digs deeper into that state’s failed outsourcing of prison services.

He is attempting to privatize liquor sales in a move that would benefit another group of deep-pocketed contributors.
