The GEO Group, Inc. (NYSE: GEO) (“GEO” or the “Company”) announced today that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (“ICE”) has executed a contract modification, effective June 6, 2025, to activate a federal immigration processing center at the GEO-owned, 1,868-bed D. Ray James Facility (the “Facility”) in Folkston, Georgia under the existing intergovernmental service agreement (“IGSA”) involving the GEO-owned, 1,118-bed Folkston ICE Processing Center.

Under the modified IGSA, GEO expects to generate approximately $66 million in incremental annualized revenues in the first full year of operations, with margins consistent with GEO’s company-owned Secure Services facilities. GEO’s support services will include the exclusive use of this federal facility by ICE, along with security, maintenance, and food services, as well as access to recreational amenities, medical care, and legal counsel.

George C. Zoley, Executive Chairman of GEO, said, “We expect that our company-owned D. Ray James Facility in Georgia will play an important role in helping meet the need for increased federal immigration processing center bedspace. We are proud of our 40-year public-private partnership with ICE, and we stand ready to continue to help the federal government meet its expanded immigration enforcement priorities.”
