They work in tandem with FL, shipping people back and forth. The jails and prisons here are just as bad, the treatment centers are slightly better... but DCF is corrupt. IIRC it cost $75k to get a consultant to pass a DCF inspection and the Joint Commission is a total farce. They have been "cracking down" on rehab fraud, if you believe what you see on Justice Department's website, but LLC dba Fictional Entity allows significant dodging of legal avenues. They find creative ways to provide kickbacks, such as buying expensive gifts in cash with receipts and going to casinos and leaving the machine unattended with large cash deposits. I know of a marketer in FL that took out a $350k PPP loan saying he was running a rehab out of his apartment. AFAIK nothing has been done to collect that money, which he likely will try to use to pay his restitution when he gets out of prison.
The proverbial saying 'power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely' conveys the opinion that, as a person's power increases, their moral sense diminishes.
California....one need say nothing more.
