Making a projection, Corizon is heading back to bankruptcy court. Prison healthcare corps deny incarcerated people care to pad their bottom line. They then file for bankruptcy when settlements for harm done mount, and start over. Will the courts finally stop them this time?

Have you heard of the Texas Two-Step? It's a controversial tactic used by corporations to avoid paying legal settlements. Corizon—one of the nation's largest private correctional healthcare providers—is using it to get out of 475 malpractice suits. 🧵 businessinsider.com/corizon-health…

Incarcerated people in WV sued @Aramark for serving inedible food to force them to buy food from commissary, which it also runs. The corp just asked the court to dismiss the case because incarcerated people are not a party to its contract with the state. wvnews.com/news/wvnews/co…

Corizon filed for bankruptcy to avoid paying $1 BILLION in medical malpractice settlements and then rebranded as YesCare. Now, it's trying to avoid even the measly settlements payments that families were forced to take. When do we force it to liquidate? news.bloomberglaw.com/bankruptcy-law…

GOOD NEWS! Private prison GEO Group tried to avoid trial for unjustly withholding wages from immigrant detainees by appealing to SCOTUS, claiming it should be afforded government immunity as a contractor. The Court just UNANIMOUSLY ruled against GEO Group. politico.com/news/2026/02/2…

Private prison giant GEO Group has had all its election day wins wiped out this month due to public backlash over ICE, disappointing earnings, a DHS shutdown, and now the Trump Admin's decision to shift fully to gov-owned ICE facilities. Sorry, not sorry. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Despite increasing its bottom line 8x over the past year thanks to immigration policies that fill its beds, GEO Group stock is tanking. People don't seem all that excited about investing in the brutality and inhumanity that private prisons promote.

TKC -- a prison commissary, food, and telecom vendor -- just put $2.3 billion in junk bonds into the debt market, with interest rates as high as 12%. What's it going to do with the money? $200 million is going to pay the private equity firm dividends.

ICE is buying up warehouses across the country to expand detention passed already unprecedented levels. You don't hold "dangerous people" in warehouses, or tents for that matter. How many more ways will they admit they're just lying? newrepublic.com/post/205982/ic…

Okay, so there are at least some investors who draw the line at public assassinations. Private prisons GEO Group and CoreCivic are down 9% and 7% following the murder of Alex Pretti by ICE agents in Minneapolis.
