Industrials

Earns government-contract revenue by owning, leasing, and managing secure facilities, processing centers, and reentry sites, while providing electronic monitoring, supervision, and secure transportation. U.S. federal agencies supply most revenue, tying facility utilization and service volumes to public policy, appropriations, occupancy, and contract renewals.

Owns, leases, and manages secure facilities, immigration processing centers, and community reentry sites, while providing secure transportation and correctional health services. The four reported lines are U.S. Secure Services, Electronic Monitoring and Supervision Services, Reentry Services, and International Services.

Pairs owned and leased capacity with managed-only contracts and handles facility design, financing, development, and reactivation after awards. BI supplies GPS, radio-frequency, and alcohol-monitoring technology alongside case management; reentry programs add residential services, treatment, and education. International operations center on Australia and South Africa, with UK transportation provided through the GEOAmey joint venture.

Government customers drive the business, with U.S. federal agencies providing most revenue. Contract renewals, policy, appropriations, occupancy, per-diem rates, and compliance requirements determine facility utilization and economics.
