CoreCivic (formerly CCA) and GEO Group spent over $25 million on lobbying and campaign contributions. Through ALEC (American Legislative Exchange Council), private prison companies literally co-authored model legislation including mandatory minimum sentencing, three-strikes laws, and truth-in-sentencing laws. Some contracts include 'lockup quotas' guaranteeing 80-90% occupancy rates, meaning states must keep prisons full or pay for empty beds. Arizona's SB 1070 immigration law was drafted at an ALEC meeting attended by CCA.
