Winter said she asked Epps point blank, Why dont you just get rid of the private contractors? We all know theyre part of the problem, not part of the solution. Bedi said Epps went on to say that it was impossible to get rid of the private contractors because of all the money they throw around Jackson. She said she thought Epps was talking about campaign contributions and looked into the matter. Some contributions were made to lawmakers, she said, but not in the amounts she thought. Reports filed with the secretary of states office show GEO had no lobbyist in 2011. GEO officials did not respond Friday to a request for comment. Winter took Epps remarks to mean the fix was in in state government because certain people benefitted from private prisons. The remark stunned her, she said, but nobody there raised an eyebrow. Epps added not to repeat his remark and that he would deny having made it, which struck her as odd, she said. Why was he saying something that was a big secret in a room full of people? clarionledger/story/news/2014/11/22/lawyers-epps-said-prison-companies-spread-money/19425009/
