Miami, October 27 (RHC)-- In the United States, questions are mounting about the relationship between the massive private prison contractor GEO Group and the Trump administration.
The Washington Post has revealed GEO Group held its annual leadership conference last week at President Trump’s private Miami-area golf resort, the Trump National Doral. GEO Group was also a major backer of the Trump campaign, giving $225,000 to a pro-Trump super PAC and then another quarter of a million dollars to Trump’s inaugural committee.
The company then secured a new multimillion-dollar contract from the Trump administration. Its stock price has tripled since last year, when the Obama administration announced efforts to end the use of private prisons.
