Execs at troubled federal prisons received bonuses totaling in the millions

CNN

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Bureau of Prisons paid more than $2 million in bonuses to top administrators and wardens during the past three years while the agency was confronting persistent overcrowding, sub-par inmate medical care, chronic staffing shortages and a lurid sexual harassment lawsuit that engulfed its largest institution, according to government records and court documents.

I will take a wild guess as who makes the decisions as to which of these people get bonuses and how much. My 1st guess would be, the person that is receiving the bonus is the person that is making the decision.

Isn’t it a common practice that government workers are rewarded for poor performance and bad behavior? So what is new?
