"We have seen the terrifying conditions & outbreaks that have occurred in prisons and immigrant detention centers. #AB32 is an important piece of legislation that would allow us the opportunity to combat the ways that incarceration continues to expand."

I'll be adding to this 🧵throughout the day to highlight some of the most shocking & important details from the report (and help break them down into English).
GEO doesn't have insurance for "claims related 2 employment matters," which likely applies 2 claims in all 3 class-action suits. In a '19 SEC filing, GEO identifies "an⬆️in unreimbursed labor rates" & their “exposure to⬆️employee & inmate med costs” as threats 2 their bottom line

1/ I've said it before and I'll say it again:
Leaving #sustainablefinance standard setting to the EU alone (while the best we can do in light of Trump) is a suboptimal solution to a real challenge for the global capital markets' transition to net zero.

2/ The @EU_Commission under the leadership of @vonderleyen @TimmermansEU @VDombrovskis, plus @ESMAComms @eiopa_europa_eu & other regulators, have done an admirable job moving the #SustainableFinance agenda forward under difficult circumstances. See: ec.europa.eu/info/business-…
3/ Yet without US capital markets regulators like SEC/CFTC/Treasury/Fed in the game, we're stuck with a very European, prescriptive approach to #SustainableFinance regulation... e.g. treating "solid" fossil fuels like coal differently than oil & gas. ft.com/content/07083d…
Yesterday, the California legislature passed #AB32, banning (in the near future) the operation of for-profit prisons, jails, & detention centers in the state and of sending state prisoners out of state to for-profit prisons. 1/

California has phased out the use of out-of-state private prisons over the last few years, finally bringing the last few dozen back a couple of months ago: 2/ sacbee.com/news/politics-…
There's a not too modest loophole that allows the state to "renew or extend a contract with a private, for-profit prison facility" ... "in order to comply with the requirements of any court-ordered population cap." 3/
