Private prison company moves annual conference to Trump-owned golf resort

[Arkansas Granny]

A private prison company has moved its annual conference to a golf resort owned by Donald Trump in an apparent bid to show its desire to align with the US President.

Until this year, the GEO Group held its conference at venues near its Boca Raton headquarters, a city on the southeastern coast of Florida.

An investigation into the company's activities found the GEO Group secured the Trump administration's first contract for a detention centre reportedly worth tens of millions of dollars a year.

This comes after the company's spending on lobbying and donations rose sharply during the 2016 election cycle, with nearly half a million dollars donated to Mr Trump's inaugural committee and to a pro-Trump super PAC, an organisation which can raise unlimited funds from individuals and corporations to support a political candidate.

3. This group is evil

Private Prisons are the biggest threat to our way of life. It's legalized slavery and they want to expand greatly. This group lobbies for harsher sentences and against rehabilitation because they want more prisoners.

5. Agreed, that's why we need to do things like flag their job ads

I got several of CoreCivic (another private prison group)'s job ads removed.

Imagine if we had a large group of people doing this.
