During the last meeting, there was a great discussion about the prison complex and private companies (CCA and GEO) that benefit from it. The point was made that we might be supporting it without knowing it through our retirement funds. In August of 2013 (according to the post on http://nationinside.org/campaign/divestment/posts/27-major-private-prison-investors/)
There are 27 FINANCIAL INVESTMENT COMPANIES that own over 2/3 of CCA & GEO:
