REPORT - The GEO Group, CoreCivic, and the Human Cost of Private Detention
The "Not With Our Money, Citizens!" Campaign is our effort to hold Citizens Bank accountable for its financial ties to CoreCivic and the GEO Group, two private prison companies facilitating ICE operations nationwide by managing detention centers.
We have requested to meet with Citizens Bank executives on multiple occasions, only to be met with silence, and most recently a refusal to meet, calling our actions "false and misleading." At our June 10th press conference, we withdrew $2 million from the bank, and published a report documenting many of the complaints and incidents coming from these detention centers. This was shared with Citizens privately as well, before their decision to not meet with GBIO. Read the report by clicking the link.
