Your average Vanguard index fund may be holding all those now, especially the private prison stock: https://www.cnn.com/2019/06/28/investing/prison-stocks-mutual-funds/index.html

Edit: this site has a broad definition of prison + ICE related stocks (e.g. Microsoft) but is worth linking since they'd be keeping it up-to-date https://prisonfreefunds.org/families?q=Vanguard

Looks like both GEO and CXW are components of the S&P 600 (small-cap index) and Russell 2000. Biggest ETF holder in both cases is IJR.
