If that business happens to be Murder Inc.:
NASHVILLE, TENN. - Four guards at a privately run jail have been indicted on reckless homicide charges accusing them of beating a female inmate to death.
The indictment issued this week also charges the four guards with aggravated assault against Estelle Richardson, 34, who died in 2004. A medical examiner said she died of a skull fracture and had broken ribs and a damaged liver.
Corrections Corporation of America, which employs the four guards, said it has cooperated with the investigation. It said the four guards have been on administrative leave since Richardson’s death.
CCA is the largest for-profit prison operator in the United States and has run the Metro Nashville Detention Facility under a contract with the city and the county since 1990.
