Private prison Industry stocks down after Warren says BAN THEM.
https://www.cnn.com/2019/06/21/investing/private-prison-stocks-elizabeth-warren/index.html?utm_content=2019-06-21T18%3A32%3A16&utm_term=link&utm_medium=social&utm_source=fbbusiness&fbclid=IwAR1b8Ms6FRD5lg_z4KR9ueLMoAaX5xBZ_xpg-7xNzSDg46Ji2rYFsxXO9_kDemocratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren is calling for private correctional and detention facilities to be banned. Shares of private prison operators dropped following her remarks.
Private prison operator CoreCivic's (CXW) stock was down 5%. Shares of The GEO Group (GEO), a Florida-based private prison and detention company, fell 5.6%. The broader stock market was flat to slightly higher on Friday.
Warren's campaign said it was unfazed by the stocks' slump.
"They shouldn't have a share price because they shouldn't exist," said Kristen Orthman, spokeswoman and director of communications for the Warren campaign.
