LANSING, Mich. (AP) - Michigan is reviewing contract costs related to prison food service by Aramark Correctional Services.
Caleb Buhs, a spokesman for the Department of Technology, Management and Budget, tells the Detroit Free Press (https://on.freep.com/1Ls12LE ) representatives of Florida-based Trinity Services Group have been touring Michigan prison kitchens as part of a “benchmarking review.”
Buhs didn’t release details about any possible changes to Philadelphia-based Aramark’s three-year, $145 million contract.
Aramark spokeswoman Karen Cutler says: “We respect our clients’ privacy and do not discuss business matters publicly.”
Aramark’s performance has been scrutinized due to allegations of employee misconduct and food contamination. The state fined the company last year. This week, an ex- food service worker was accused of trying to orchestrate the assault of an inmate.
Aramark has said it’s working to correct any issues.
