The GEO Group Partners with Trinity Broadcasting Network to Give Second Chance to Inmates

BOCA RATON, Fla.--(Business Wire)--
The GEO Group (NYSE:GEO) ("GEO") announced today that it has joined forces with
the Trinity Broadcasting Network ("TBN") to extend inmates housed in GEO`s
facilities across the United States a real Second Chance at life. An initiative
of TBN`s worldwide family of networks, Second Chance is a program that allows
wardens and chaplains of eligible prisons, jails, and re-entry centers to choose
up to four of TBN`s unique faith-based networks for inmates to view at their own
discretion. Second Chance is a voluntary program, completely free of charge to
the correctional institutions, and receives no funding from government taxpayer
dollars.

GEO, a world leader in the delivery of correctional, detention, and residential
treatment services to federal, state, and local government agencies around the
globe, has signed an agreement to bring Second Chance into its U.S. correctional
system, which currently includes the management of 47 correctional facilities
and detention centers. GEO and TBN hope to reach the more than 45,000 offenders
housed in GEO`s correctional facilities and detention centers geographically
located in 15 states across the country.

"Our company is committed to providing meaningful offender rehabilitation
programs within our correctional and detention facilities around the country,"
says George C. Zoley, GEO`s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "This
innovative partnership with Trinity Broadcasting Network will give offenders
throughout our facilities access to meaningful faith-based programming on a
voluntary basis. We are looking forward to the successful implementation of this
important initiative."

"TBN is delighted to be able to provide inspirational programming to the
thousands of inmates at GEO facilities across the country," said Amy Fihn,
Director of TBN Second Chance. "We are constantly receiving positive feedback
from both prison officials and inmates in the dozens of facilities where Second
Chance has already been implemented. It is truly a win-win program designed to
promote the kind of hope and personal responsibility that can help inmates
better cope behind prison walls, and more importantly, prepare them to
successfully assimilate back into society once they`re released, as the majority
of them will be."
