Increasing Populations. Management noted ICE populations have increased nearly 26% quarter-to-date. While one month does not make a trend, that is encouraging, especially as we believe there will be further loosening of COVID restrictions and a removal of Title 42, both of which could increase the demand for CoreCivic’s services.

More to Come? In addition to the rising ICE populations, management noted increasing interest from other parties for staffing shortages, as these parties deal with a very tight labor market. With excess bed capacity available and the staff hired, CoreCivic is well positioned to pick up additional business, in our view.
