Event Summary

United States — Mississippi State Auditor Shad White has demanded that Elliott Investment Management, a private prison operator, pay $7.4 million to United States — Mississippi for failing to maintain adequate staffing levels at prisons it manages. This demand follows a five-year investigation and a previous payment of over $5 million by Elliott Investment Management in 2021 for similar issues. Elliott Investment Management offered to settle for $4.5 million, but Shad White rejected the offer, referring the case to United States — Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch for enforcement.
