The firm that owns the company the Alabama Department of Corrections hired to supply health care to its 25,000 inmates was labeled "speculative" and given a negative rating outlook last year by Moody's Investor Service. A Moody's report from September 2013 says that Valitas Health Services, the owner of ADOC health care supplier Corizon, faces "earnings pressure" following prison contract losses in Maine, Maryland, Tennessee (excluding mental health), and Pennsylvania. It says Valitas' financial obligations are "subject to high credit risk." The report calls Valitas the largest provider of prison health care and offers some hope for the firm's future.
