  6. #ICE Hires Immigrant #BountyHunters From #PrivatePrison Company #GEOGroup

    #BIIncorporated, a subsidiary of for-profit prison company GEO Group, will help ICE pinpoint the locations of #immigrants.

    by Sam Biddle, December 19 2025

    Excerpt: "The deal illustrates a strategy of vertical integration within GEO Group, which has found a growing line of business operating for-profit immigration detention centers under the second #Trump administration. In this case, the corporation stands to be paid by the federal government to both find immigrants and then to imprison them.

    "Shares of GEO Group, which donated to both Trump’s reelection campaign and his inaugural fund, spiked following his 2024 victory. Trump’s return to office has proven fortuitous for GEO Group: The president’s '#BigBeautifulBill' earmarked $45 billion for jailing immigrants. 'This is a unique moment in our company’s history,' GEO Group CEO J. David Donahue told investors in May, 'and we believe we are well-positioned to meet this unprecedented opportunity.'

    "GEO Group has faced decades of criticism over alleged mismanagement of its facilities and claims of rampant abuse of inmates. In August, The Intercept reported the suicide of a Chinese immigrant held at a GEO Group-operated prison in Pennsylvania. The American Civil Liberties Union filed a federal complaint over the facility in July, criticizing 'horrific conditions' at the prison, including repeated instances of medical neglect.

    "In 2023, GEO Group was hit by a class-action lawsuit alleging the 'months-long poisoning' from a chemical disinfectant of more than 1,300 inmates at a California immigration detention center. In May, Tufts University student #RümeysaÖztürk, jailed for her criticism of the Israeli #genocide in #Gaza, alleged her GEO Group-managed jail delayed treatment while she experienced an asthma attack."

  11. Private Prisons: An Exceptionally Niche Asset Class Meets Its Moment

    The #Trump administration’s #crackdown on foreign residents has investors and operators mulling new options

    By Patrick Sisson, September 9, 2025

    Excerpt: " 'I think the liability they’ve [#ForProfitPrisons] experienced is that at different times in their #corporate history, if the demand for #PrivatePrisons decreases, then they have empty facilities sitting there, right?' said Shar Habibi, research and policy director of In the Public Interest, a nonprofit that has advocated against private prisons. 'That’s not good.' "
