Employees from Pathways Community Corrections will work in the new Rutherford County probation services department while the company is named as a codefendant in a class-action lawsuit over the handling of misdemeanor probationers. Mayor Earnest Burgess said all of the employees hired for the department were carefully screened, the Murfreesboro Post reports. The suit against nine PCC employees claims the company’s goal was to maximize profits by collecting debts and additional fees "through repeated continuous threats to arrest, revoke and imprison." The lawsuit also contends many of those forced to pay the fees were indigent or disabled.
