Audit of the Intergovernmental Agreement Detention Space Negotiation Process. Audit Report 11-21

摘要

The DOJ Office of the Inspector General (OIG) conducted this audit to: (1) assess how the OFDT has implemented and the USMS uses elGA to negotiate jail-day rates, and (2) determine whether the OFDT price analysis negotiation strategy has resulted in fair and reasonable jail-day rates charged by state and local facilities. This audit follows up on the findings of a March 2007 OIG audit that assessed how the OFDT and USMS negotiated IGAs. The March 2007 audit summarized the results of 31 individual IGA audits conducted between 1995 and 2006 that the OIG performed to assess the allowability of state and local government detention facility costs. The individual IGA audits identified a total of 60 million in dollar-related findings, which the OFDT and USMS dispute.
