The report published this week details even more problems, including an outburst last year during which a detainee stole keys from a staff member to access another residence hall. The report says Horizon had filled just 60% to 70% of its staff positions last year, and 38% of the staffers who were on the payroll were out on sick leave — often due to work-related injuries.
