Inspector [noun]

Covid policies affecting USMS prisoners held by the Bureau of Prisons were not included in the report because the inspector general is examining those facilities separately.

In the early 2000s, the department’s inspector general found several private lenders, including Navient’s former sister company Sallie Mae, overcharged the federal government by tens of millions of dollars.

Brown pointed out that inspectors fill out a field interview form during the inspection that is left at the facility, and that copies are signed by both the inspectors and facility employees.

“Because there were no specific details outlining what the M&A costs supported, we cannot determine whether the expenditures supported the BARDA mission,” the inspector general concluded.

The team began working in the area and was surprised by an oncoming train, inspectors said.

More than half of the money went to a hospital in Ellwood City, Pennsylvania, that closed in December 2019 after state inspectors found unsafe conditions for patients.

The result was that 57,473 loans “matched a DNP data source record, indicating loan ineligibility,” the inspector general found.

The facility submitted mandated plans to address the deficiencies cited by inspectors, though it noted that it was not admitting or agreeing to the inspectors’ conclusions.

Since March, several dozen of the facilities have been cited by state inspectors for lapses in federal infection-control standards, from a lack of protective gear to failing to isolate infected residents, records show.

In early 2018, the Legal Aid Society asked the inspector general to investigate allegations of false arrest by an active officer and vice veteran known only as Undercover 157.
