Corporate Investments in Family Detention Lead to Profits for GEO and CCA

Think Progress reports that private prison corporations have reaped profits from the return of family detention.  “During separate conference calls to talk about earnings reports, two of the country’s largest for-profit private prisons indicated that they saw their profits soar from holding immigrant mothers and children in detention centers across the country.  Revenues increased during the first quarter of 2016 for both the Corrections Corp. of America and GEO Group, executives told shareholders on conference calls.”
