Illinois Governor Blagojevich: Did he sell the contract at Sheridan Correctional Center to the highest bidder?

How much of this money did Governor Blagojevich and his corrupt regime pocket? Did WestCare Foundation, Inc. pay Governor Blagojevich and his corrupt regime for this contract at Sheridan Correctional Center? Is the Federal Government investigating the contracts awarded to Sheridan Correctional Center?

The Human Resource Development Institute, Inc. (HRDI) was one of the bidders for this contract. HRDI is a community-based social service agency providing optimal and comprehensive substance abuse services in Chicago. HRDI has a contract providing substance abuse services at the Cook County Jail in Chicago. HRDI is culturally sensitive and has a diverse employee base proportionate to the population at Sheridan. As compared to the racist attitudes and behaviors of the present employees of WestCare Foundation, Inc. at Sheridan. Why didn't Governor Blagojevich give the contract to an Illinois community-based organization.

The contract to provide substance abuse services at Sheridan is worth $26,137,309.47. The taxpayers of Illinois are footing this bill. WestCare Foundation, Inc. is based and has its corporate offices in Las Vegas, Nevada. Why did Governor Blagojevich and his corrupt regime give this contract to an organization outside of Illinois? Who in the Governor's office profitted from this award?

The following below is the data on this contract.
