• The GEO Group was one of the first companies ever to capitalize on the trend toward government outsourcing of correctional and detention services.
  
  
• The GEO Group was selected by the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) in 1997 to manage the 2,048-bed Taft Correctional Institution in Taft, California. It was the first time that the Federal Bureau of Prisons had contracted out for the management of one of its major facilities.
  
  In 2000, the BOP awarded The GEO Group a contract to design, construct, finance and manage the 1,200-bed Rivers Correctional Institution in Winton, North Carolina.
