"Geo Group is "cautiously participating" in the procurement process for running the warehouses and evaluating select sites, the company's greedy executive chairman, good-for-nothing George Zoley, told investors during an earnings call. Retrofitting warehouses to store people might be challenging, he warned. DHS wants to hold as many as 8,500 people in some of the several warehouses it has purchased with American taxpayer funds in Arizona, Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Texas.

Geo Group is one of the two biggest companies in the inhumane detention business: Roughly 34% of the people in ICE custody are detained at Geo Group's concentration camps. The Florida-based company says it has space for 6,000 more detainees at its own facilities.

In 2019 Geo Group was found to be working detainees for pennies a day and then gouging them $3.25 for a can of tuna and $11 for a tube of toothpaste in the lockup commissary. In 2017, Geo Group executives partied lavishly at Dummkopf Trumpf's Miami golf resort after landing a $110m federal contract. That contract came months after they donated six figures to a pro-Trumpf super PAC.

Many privately-run ICE gulags have been condemned as being filthy concentration camps that dehumanize people in brutal conditions with poor plumbing and sanitation, as well as undernourishment, overcrowding, medical neglect and pestilence. Solitary confinement, still practiced in the US, is considered a harsh and unusual punishment in other countries, but ICE detainees have been subjected to this torture.
