    Shiiit, who do they think they are, a fortune 500 company?

    Sarcasm aside, it’s completely ridiculous. Even the big guys play nice with the fire service because nobody wants to get fucked by the insurance companies. I think the next step here would be to notify the GEO group’s insurers that they have multiple fire safety violations and they’re refusing to fix them.
