Department of Corrections and housing facility update auditor
By benningtonbanner.com
Published: 11/07/2013

The Department of Corrections and the company that manages one of its transitional housing facilities have updated the State Auditor on their efforts to correct seven accountability issues identified in August after a "whistleblower" filed a complaint with the state.

After the complaint was lodged, the State Auditor conducted a "non-audit report" which identified the problems, mostly related to record keeping and accountability, at the 204 Depot Street facility run by Seall Inc. Deputy Auditor Susan Mesner said the report focused on Seall, but the types of issues found were the sort that could conceivably be found at similar sites overseen by the DOC.

The Depot Street facility is a 14-bed transitional housing operation for Vermont inmates that helps those people find permanent housing upon their release from jail.

On Oct. 16, DOC Commissioner, Anthony Pallito, sent a follow up letter to Mesner, updating her on what steps had been taken to-date to address the issues raised.

One issue involved how offender rent payments were being managed. As per the memorandum of understanding between Seall and the DOC, Seall can charge a resident $50 per month after they have stayed 60 days. It can charge more if it feels the resident is not managing their money properly, but everything above the $50 is returned to the offender when they leave.

Pallito, in his letter, wrote that his department was aware of how fees were charged but there was no written oversight. The agreement also does not prohibit Seall from placing additional charges. There had been allegations of Seall charging a monthly cell phone fee but this proved unfounded. Pallito wrote this lack of prohibition regarding added fees raises the risk of abuse.
