The prison and border industries

We focus on two aspects of the prison industrial complex: companies involved in the prison industry (such as private for-profit prison operators and prison services providers), and companies involved in the militarization of borders and the policing of immigration.

Prison Industry


The prison industry screen flags companies involved in incarceration and detention facilities (including facility management, youth and family detention, private facilities internationally, private prison financing, transportation and deportations, facility surveillance and security, and prison labor), services in facilities (including communication services, health services, banking and financial services, and food, commissary, and other goods), and supervision and monitoring (including e-carceration, community corrections, and bail bonds).

Border Industry


The border industry screen flags companies involved in incarceration and detention facilities (including facility management, youth and family detention, private prison financing, facility surveillance and security, transportation and deportations, and prison labor), militarization of the U.S.-Mexico border (including border construction and maintenance and border monitoring and surveillance), and immigrant monitoring and surveillance (including high-tech surveillance of immigrants, e-carceration, and bail bonds).
