As of 2007, Arizona had exported more than 2,000 prisoners to privately run facilities in Oklahoma and Indiana, a number that would have been higher if not for a riot of Arizona prisoners at theGEO Group'sNew Castle Correctional Facility on April 27, 2007, protesting the practice.[11] As of 2013, the states of Vermont, California and Hawaii export prisoners to facilities in Arizona.[12]
In July 2014, a teacher was raped at the Meadows Unit of the Arizona State Prison Complex at Eyman. She had been left alone in a room with then 21-year-old Jacob Harvey, who stabbed her multiple times with a pen and raped her. The radio she was issued was tuned to a frequency not in use. The officers were found to have failed to make their required checks. The state settled the matter for an undisclosed amount and the Department of Corrections denies any wrongdoing.[13]
In July 2015, at the medium security housing area at the Arizona State Prison-Kingman a four-day riot damaged facilities so extensively as to require major repairs. More than one thousand inmates had to be moved to other locations. The facility was being run byManagement and Training Corporation under a contract with the department in which Director Charles L. Ryan failed to ensure contractual obligations were met.[14]
In August 2015, Prisoner Cynthia Apkaw hanged herself in her cell. Officers had not made their required checks and later faked records to conceal their misconduct.[15]
In February 2016, officers failed to conduct required checks on Scott Saba who hanged himself in his cell. His body was discovered by Correctional Officers who had finished their shifts and subsequently didn't have the equipment required to provide aid.[16]
In April 2016, thirteen prison staff were fired and six more disciplined as a result of an investigation into the two most recent prison suicides.[17]
Since its establishment, 9 officers of the ADCRR have died in the line of duty.[18]
