Rutherford County is seeking a new way to run its court probation program before its relationship with Pathways Community Corrections ends March 31, WSMV reports. County Mayor Ernest Burgess says choices include soliciting bids from the other private probation companies or starting its own probation program. PCC, which is currently under investigation by the Tennessee Department of Commerce, is closing April 1. The company is named in a federal lawsuit that claims the company and Rutherford County profited by keeping people on probation for extra time and charged excessive fees.
