This isn't just about having buildings; it's about owning the specialized, hard-to-replicate infrastructure that government partners need right now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere is the quick math on the scale as of the end of the third quarter of 2025. As of September 30, 2025, the company operated 45 correctional and detention facilities, with a massive total design capacity of about 68,000 beds. What this estimate hides is the ownership structure, which is the key differentiator. Fully 41 of those 45 facilities are either owned outright or controlled via a long-term lease, giving them immense balance sheet flexibility and cost control compared to peers who rely more on short-term leasing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo be fair, this asset base is what allows them to deploy capital quickly, like when they acquired the 736-bed Farmville Detention Center, which contributed to the revenue jump from ICE contracts in Q3 2025.
