In a vote that fulfilled a campaign promise made in the historic election that swept Democrats to power two years ago, the Delaware County Council moved Wednesday night to deprivatize the George W. Hill Correctional Facility and return its operation to county control.
The five-member council voted unanimously to terminate the contract with GEO Group, the for-profit company that now runs the county prison. The facility in Glen Mills has been under private operation since 1998.
