The GEO Group is closing its Lea County Correctional Facility in New Mexico. This action will result in over 200 employee layoffs and 1,000 inmate transfers. The company chose not to renew its operating contract with the county. New Mexico declined to purchase the facility after fiscal analysis. The facility might be converted into an ICE detention center.
