The GEO Group, Inc. is a U.S.-based government services and real estate company focused on secure facilities management, community reentry services, electronic monitoring, and related support services for government agencies. The company operates primarily within the corrections, detention, and community supervision industries, serving federal, state, and local government clients in the United States and selected international markets. GEO’s principal revenue drivers include the management and operation of correctional and detention facilities, residential reentry centers, secure transportation services, and electronic monitoring technologies used in community-based supervision programs.
