A halfway house at 111 Taylor Street, operated by GEO Group, has been under scrutiny following the death of resident Melvin Bulauan. He was found dead after leaving the facility without authorization. Supervisor Bilal Mahmood has proposed a hearing to investigate possible misconduct by staff, citing Bulauan's death. The facility operates as a work-release program and has been in place for decades. Bulauan had a history of violent behavior, raising concerns about his mental health at the time of his death after being at the facility for a short duration.
The facility run by GEO Group has operated at 111 Taylor Street for decades under zoning allowing for non-conforming group housing, serving as a work-release program for the previously incarcerated.
Supervisor Bilal Mahmood is calling for a hearing this fall with subpoenas served to representatives of GEO Group, using the death of Melvin Bulauan as potential evidence of malfeasance.
