Follow the money
Buy the walls, pay the operator
Four SEC-filed purchase agreements now establish exact prices totaling $2,205,828,830, 1,603,438 square feet, four SK2 access relationships, CBRE as the seller-side broker, and Chicago Title as escrow/title provider. The government appraisals, appraisal reviewers, negotiation records, and post-sale management rate changes remain outside the reviewed public record.
This audit publishes what the purchase agreements, company disclosures and one official award snapshot state. It does not establish fair value, overpayment, duplicate compensation, unlawful conduct, or any causal connection between political money and an acquisition. Purchase prices are never added to federal award values, obligations, outlays, company revenue, lobbying totals or political-transaction totals.
What the records state
Each line below is carried by a cited record. Nothing here is an inference about value, intent, or legality.
- 01
All four purchase agreements disclose exact purchase prices, building areas, due-diligence terms, expense allocation, and federal ownership.
- 02
Both July diligence periods began under February 1 access agreements with SK2 LLC and expired March 3, 121 days before closing.
- 03
The July agreements exclude seller appraisals and internal memoranda from conveyed property while allowing the buyer to obtain its own appraisal at buyer cost.
- 04
The federal buyer became responsible for applicable ownership, operation, and maintenance charges after closing and no longer owed real estate taxes while exempt.
- 05
As of August 5, CoreCivic said ICE had not yet modified the four management contracts to reflect the ownership change.
- 06
Prairie sold for an agreement price of $495,639,588 after CoreCivic reported a $26.683 million June 30 net carrying value for the property, excluding transferable equipment and other assets; the earlier $22.557 million March 31 state is kept as history.
- 07
Four filed agreements state four exact prices, which sum to $2,205,828,830 across 7,187 published beds and 1,603,438 agreement square feet.
- 08
SK2 is the access-and-confidentiality counterparty named in all four filed agreements; a separate ICE real-property acquisition-services contract to SK2 appears in official records, but its property scope remains unresolved and its contract carries no property assignment.
This audit does not establish
- DHS overpaid for any facility.
- CoreCivic was paid twice for the same property cost.
- The sales were corrupt, unlawful, a kickback, or a quid pro quo.
- The appraisals were manipulated.
- The assessed-value or carrying-value multiples establish fair value.
- SK2 set or approved the purchase prices for all four facilities.
- A political contribution caused or influenced any acquisition.
- Specific facility-sale dollars funded a specific share repurchase.
- The federal buyer inherited undisclosed defects.

A net carrying value is an accounting measure at a stated date, not an appraisal, closing book basis, replacement cost, or fair value. Activation work and other assets may have changed the basis, and the difference between price and carrying value is neither a premium nor a profit finding.
What this does not establish
The sale-to-carrying-value multiple is an accounting comparison, not an appraisal or a finding of overpayment. The award, sale and contract commencement are separate events.

This audit covers four reviewed real-property transactions and nothing else. The facilities below are named here only to record that no reviewed source places them in a sale, and that their appearance elsewhere in this project is an award or inspection record, not an ownership record. An exclusion is not a finding that no transaction exists; it states that none is established in the sources currently indexed.
- Sale record
- None established in the sources currently indexed.
- Ownership
- Unresolved. No reviewed source in this dataset establishes who owns, operates, or manages the site, and no purchase agreement, sale disclosure, or transfer record names it.

- Golden State Annex is a California contract detention facility carried in this project's award and inspection work, so it can be mistaken for one of the California properties in this audit. It is not. The two California properties here are California City Detention Facility and Otay Mesa Detention Center.
- Role that is established
- THE GEO GROUP, INC. is the recipient on award 70CDCR26FR0000042, which covers Golden State Annex and Mesa Verde ICE Processing Center together and allocates nothing between them. Recipient and place of performance are award fields, not an owner or operator record.
What this does not establish
Nothing here establishes that Golden State Annex was bought, sold, or publicly acquired, that any party owns or operates it, or that it carries any share of the four purchase prices. Its exclusion is also not a finding that the facility is unaffected by the ownership changes described elsewhere on this page.
What the agreements establish, and what they do not
The dividing line between a document and a conclusion, stated before anything else on this page is read.
What the filed agreements establish
- CoreCivic sold four named detention properties to the United States through DHS under four SEC-filed agreements.
- The four exact agreement prices total $2,205,828,830.
- The four agreements describe a combined 1,603,438 square feet and 7,187 published beds.
- Each agreement references a property-specific access and confidentiality agreement between CoreCivic and SK2 LLC.
- Each agreement names CBRE as the only seller-side broker entitled to transaction compensation and makes the seller responsible for commissions under a separate agreement.
- Each agreement joins Chicago Title as escrow agent and requires a Chicago Title commitment if the buyer elected title coverage.
- Each agreement is signed for CoreCivic by Lucibeth Mayberry, for the federal buyer by Tamim Chowdhury, and for escrow acknowledgement by Jennifer Chen.
- Each buyer notice provision copies James Grossmann of SK2.
- The agreements identify extensive seller-document categories and permit buyer-funded appraisal, environmental, survey, title, and other diligence.
- CoreCivic states it expects to continue managing all four under existing ICE contracts whose terms may be modified because ownership changed.
What they do not establish
- The appraised fair-market value of any property.
- Who appraised or reviewed any property.
- That the sale prices were fair, inflated, low, or above an approved appraisal.
- That SK2 formally received any property assignment under its federal contract.
- That SK2 performed any specific appraisal, inspection, environmental study, or price negotiation.
- The amount of CBRE compensation or any conflict involving the broker.
- The contents of title commitments, surveys, environmental reports, structural reports, or settlement statements.
- Whether management pricing retained, removed, or repriced property-ownership costs after sale.
- Any causal relationship between the acquisitions and political finance, lobbying, revolving-door employment, debt repayment, or share repurchases.

The earlier figures were the company's own rounded numbers, correctly reported at that precision. All four purchase and sale agreements filed as exhibits state the price to the dollar, so the exact value supersedes the rounded one for every property. The four-property total shown on this page is the sum of those four agreement dollars, not a company-reported exact aggregate.

Appraisals and condition records · NOT OBTAINED
No government appraisal, review appraisal, engagement letter, independent government estimate, structural report, environmental assessment or capital budget for any of the four properties is in the reviewed record. The July agreements excluded seller appraisals and internal memoranda from conveyed property, and permitted the buyer to obtain its own appraisal at its own cost; whether it did so is not established.
The gap between the end of a contractual diligence period and closing is a term of the agreement. It does not establish that inspections stopped, that the buyer waived review, or that anything was concealed. Each agreement permitted inspections by the buyer and its agents, consultants, employees, contractors and representatives, allowed pre-closing reinspection, and permitted the buyer to obtain its own appraisal, survey, environmental assessment and title examination at its own cost. Whether any specific document was obtained, was adequate, or was created by SK2 is not established by the reviewed record.
Who stood between the seller and the buyer
The named parties in all four agreements: seller, buyer, access counterparty, seller-side broker, escrow and title provider, and the signatories as printed. Compensation is published only where a record states it.

One row per record type, one column per property. Every cell states a retrieval state, never an absence finding and never a value the reviewed record does not carry.
Not obtained means this file does not hold the record. It never means the record did not exist, was not prepared, was unlawfully withheld, or would prove misconduct.

General federal context
42 U.S.C. § 4651 generally describes appraisal before negotiation and an agency just-compensation amount not below its approved appraisal; the Department of Justice Yellow Book and GSA materials describe federal appraisal, review, and real-property acquisition processes. These are general frameworks. Without the DHS legal and acquisition file, this page draws no conclusion about exact applicability, waiver, compliance, or noncompliance.
Attributed company language
CoreCivic has said independent appraisers used a federal process and that the government reviewed the work. That is the company's statement. It is not an appraisal report and not independent verification.
Acquisition, ownership, management and capital chronology
Five semantic lanes on one date axis: government action, ownership change, management, company-reported debt repayment and capital allocation. Order only — the records do not trace money from one lane into another, and each lane names the documents we do not hold.
Shared chronology does not establish that proceeds from one event funded another. The facility sales and capital-allocation events are shown in chronological proximity. The reviewed public records do not trace specific government purchase dollars into the share repurchase.
The lanes are separate accounting worlds: a purchase price, a company-reported repayment and a repurchase authorization measure different things and are never added together. Two events sharing a date are two records, not a transaction.
18 dated events across 5 lanes, ordered by date only. On wide screens every lane shares one date axis with one column per date on record. The axis is ordinal, not proportional: equal column widths do not mean equal elapsed time.

Who carries the ownership cost
The filed agreements allocate ownership, operation and maintenance charges between seller and buyer at closing.
Before closing — seller carried
- real estate taxes
- insurance
- electricity
- gas
- oil
- water
- sewer
- normal ownership expenses
- normal operation expenses
- normal maintenance expenses
After closing — federal buyer carried
- applicable ownership expenses
- applicable operation expenses
- applicable maintenance expenses
- insurance
- utilities
federal buyer exempt; real estate taxes cease while the exemption applies
Applies to all 4 filed agreements · California City Immigration Processing Center, Otay Mesa Detention Center, Prairie Correctional Facility, Midwest Regional Reception Center
Open question
Which property-cost, capital-recovery, insurance, tax, utility and maintenance components were removed from or retained in the ICE management prices after ownership transferred?
What this does not establish
The cost transfer does not establish that DHS assumed every operational cost, that CoreCivic retained none, or that ICE paid the same ownership cost twice. The pre-sale and post-sale rate schedules and modifications are required to test that question.

Post-sale management repricing
The government took on ownership cost across all four agreements. CoreCivic says it expects to keep managing all four under existing ICE contracts whose terms may be modified because ownership changed. No post-sale rate schedule or ownership-change modification has been obtained, so this page publishes nothing about whether prices stayed the same, rose, or fell.

Company statement as of August 5, 2026
CoreCivic and ICE had not yet modified the management contracts for the four facilities to reflect the ownership change; company guidance incorporated an estimate.
Attributed company disclosure · publication state material-gap-publishable
What this does not establish
The absence of a modification as of August 5 does not establish that rates remained unchanged, that automatic pricing provisions did not apply, or that duplicate compensation occurred.

Pre-sale and post-sale price schedules · NOT OBTAINED
No pre-sale price schedule, post-sale price schedule, fixed monthly rate, per-diem rate, or ownership-change modification instrument has been obtained for any of the four facilities. Until those records exist in the file, this page publishes no conclusion about whether management prices changed after the government assumed ownership cost.
Comparators, not valuations
Assessed values and accounting carrying values sit beside the prices. Neither is an appraisal, and neither can establish what a property was worth.

Derived arithmetic, not appraisal
| Property | Purchase price | Comparator | Comparator kind | Derived multiple |

Assessed values and accounting carrying values are not appraisals. A county assessed value reflects an assessment regime, and under California's Proposition 13 it can diverge materially from current market value. A net carrying value is a book measure at a stated date that excludes specified transferable assets. Neither can establish what a property was worth or what it should have sold for.
Prairie's comparator is the company's June 30, 2026 net carrying value. Carrying value is an accounting measure at a stated date, not a fair-market appraisal. The comparison is not a premium, a discount, a profit, a gain, or a fair-value multiple, and it cannot establish overpayment.

Appraised value · NOT OBTAINED
No appraisal for any of the four properties is in the reviewed record, so no fair-value figure appears anywhere on this page. The multiples above compare a purchase price to an assessment or a book value, which are different measures of different things.

The official award-search snapshot confirms award identity, recipient, current value, period, agency and contract type. It carries no statement of work, modification history, competition record or property assignment, so contract scope remains unresolved.
The timing, function and agreement references establish a high-value records lead. The reviewed public record does not establish that this federal contract was assigned to all four CoreCivic purchases or how its fee was allocated by property.
What this does not establish
This page does not establish that SK2 appraised all four facilities; that SK2 negotiated every purchase price; that the sole-source award caused the facility purchases; that the entire $6.28 million contract belongs to these four transactions.
