GEO Group just had a great quarter — 81,000 people in cages will do that
Plan (drafter input)
GEO Group, the private prison company, just beat earnings by 45%, raised guidance to $3 billion, and saw its stock jump 15% premarket. They run 81,000 detention beds. The Trump deportation machine is their business model. Hook: this is the company that profits every time ICE arrests someone's neighbor. Button: mass detention isn't a crisis to them — it's a growth quarter.
Named company, specific financials, direct line to Trump immigration enforcement. Hypocrisy callout — profiteering off human suffering. hero_text fits the numbers-heavy callout format.

Body
GEO Group beat earnings by 52% last quarter. Revenue up to $705 million. Stock jumped 15% premarket. They raised full-year guidance to nearly $3 billion. Analysts: 6 buys, zero sells.
This is the company that runs 81,000 detention beds across roughly 100 facilities in the US, Australia, and South Africa. They don't house inmates — they invoice for them. Every ICE arrest, every processing center, every family separated at a border generates a line item. Net income doubled year over year. From $19 million to $38 million. In one year. Because the deportation machine is running hot and GEO owns the infrastructure.
The word they used in guidance was growth. That's the correct word. Mass detention isn't a policy failure to these people. It's a beat-and-raise quarter. The suffering has a ticker symbol. It's GEO. It's up 15% today.
