Prison operator GEO Group Inc. said Friday it is discontinuing its contract managing a county jail in Pennsylvania, citing litigation and poor financial performance.
GEO said it will no longer manage the George W. Hill Correctional Facility in Delaware County effective Dec. 31. The 1,883-bed facility generates roughly $38 million a year in revenue, the company said, but the contract's discontinuation is not expected have a material impact on GEO's financial performance, it said.
GEO said the facility is the only county jail it manages.
