Princeton Faculty Call to Action to Divest from Private Prison and Detention Corporations
We, the faculty of Princeton University, call upon the Council of the Princeton University Community and the Princeton University Investment Company to dissociate and divest from corporations that draw profit from incarceration, drug control and immigrant deportation policies, including:
(1) Corporations that operate private prisons, jails, halfway houses and/or immigration detention facilities in the United States, such as the Corrections Corporation of America, The GEO Group and G4S
(2) Corporations that contract exclusively with such correctional facilities, including Global Tel Link, JPay, Securus, MHM Services, Correct Care Solutions, Corizon Health, Armor Correctional Health Services, and Providence Services Corporation.
We call upon the University to divest from these corporations, as well as implement a negative screen against these corporations for future investments.
