A year after its first attempt at privatizing prison health care was scrapped because of questions about the contractor, the county Prison Board is expected to try again this week to recommend an outside provider for inmate medical services.
The Prison Board, which includes the county commissioners and other top officials, has narrowed the field of four candidates to CFG Health Systems of New Jersey and PrimeCare Medical of Harrisburg.
