Federal prison execs got more than $2 million in bonuses despite ongoing problems
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.

This is the problem with bureaucracies, they don't have customers they need to satisfy so they are self-sustaining mediocrities. This agency, the VA, and countless other Government agencies are rewarding people who don't deserve rewards. Let's start saving money by cutting bonuses for agencies that aren't performing up to snuff except on a case by case basis reviewed by people outside of that agency.
