LANSING, Mich. — Attorney General Bill Schuette announced that his office will investigate allegations that an Aramark Correctional Services employee conspired to have a prisoner killed in a murder-for-hire plot.
MLive reports that Michigan State Police Sault Ste. Marie Post requested a warrant in the case last week.
An Aramark worker at Kinross Correctional Facility in the Upper Peninsula is accused of approaching an inmate to have another killed.
The allegations are the latest in a string of troubles for Aramark, a private food service vendor that won a three-year, $145 million contract with the state last year. Company workers have also been accused of smuggling drugs into prisons and having sex with inmates.
