Renfrow's Response to Rescission

Christie Donner, executive director for the Colorado Criminal Justice Reform Coalition, and Chantell Taylor, director of the Colorado Citizens for Ethics in Government, also joined McFadyen at the event.

In November, a state auditor's report found that a former DOC official had helped Geo Group Inc. in developing the winning bid, McFadyen noted.

She identified the former DOC official as Nolin Renfrow, who is being investigated by the Colorado Bureau of Investigation for his alleged role in the Geo Group's award.

Renfrow said he did not want to comment on McFadyen's actions Monday.

"I don't know why she would do that," he said, "other than she has had issues with private prisons. The department (of corrections) made a decision to accept Geo as an acceptable contractor." He referred questions about his involvement with the bidding process to his attorney, who did not return calls Monday. Rocky article here
