RTC audit report due out on Friday
The final report on an audit of the Shafter Return to Custody facility is set for release Friday at a cost of $100,000. The CDC asked the State Controller to investigate finances for the period Nov 21, 1989, to Jun 30, 1991, amid allegations of improper operation. An exit conference occurred Feb 24 with a 30 day response window granted, and Shafter was prioritized among RTCs in Delano Taft and Coalinga. Local officials dispute state obligations, while ACCAWP formed by Shafter and other cities seeks remedies. An internal probe cited excessive terminations at Shafter, with former employees alleging improper policies.
