Senate Confirms Prison Industry-Tied Marshals Nominee 
------------------------------------------------------



The Senate has confirmed President Obama's nominee Stacia Hylton to head
the U.S. Marshals Service. Hylton's bid had come under criticism over
her ties to the private prison industry. Hylton previously worked as a
consultant for the GEO Group, the second-largest private prison firm in
the United States.
