The article cites the GEO Group. "The GEO Group, Inc., $2.4 million in a UK-based private security company that operates juvenile detention centers in the US, and $2.5 million in a military contractor."
Looked familiar - The GEO group and it's 'children' companies have rec'd $7.1 BILLON dollars in contracts and grants from the USG (all FY's). 'Children' companies (cap related) include the Cornell Companies.
