  • We don’t manage any border patrol holding facilities along the U.S. Southwest border
  • We don’t manage any facilities with tent structures or chain-link fencing in housing areas

What We Do

  • We manage modern immigration Processing Centers under contract with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) with amenities including artificial turf soccer fields, flat-screen TVs in living areas, indoor and outdoor recreation, classrooms, multipurpose rooms, and libraries
  • We proudly comply with the Obama-Biden Administration’s performance-based national detention standards
  • We provide safe and humane residential care for civilly detained individuals during the adjudication of their immigration cases, with an average length of stay of 30 to 60 days
  • The services we provide today are in no way different from the high-quality services we provided for eight years under the Obama-Biden Administration
  • We manage federal prisons that are reserved almost exclusively for non-citizen criminal aliens and only one of our federal prisons houses fewer than 300 D.C. residents
  • We manage correctional facilities housing state and local inmates and provide offender rehabilitation and post-release support services, proven to reduce recidivism, through our GEO Continuum of Care
  • We manage facilities that are highly rated by independent accreditation entities including the American Correctional Association, the National Commission on Correctional Health Care, and The Joint Commission
  • We advocate for public-private partnerships that deliver private sector solutions to public sector challenges with strict government oversight. The facilities we manage have on-site, full-time government monitors
