Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special Colorado counsel to B.I. Incorporated, a Colorado corporation (the “Company”) in connection with (i) that certain registration statement on Form S-3 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 12, 2014, as amended (the “Registration Statement”) by The GEO Group, Inc. (“Parent”), the Company and certain other subsidiaries of the Company (collectively, the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and (ii) the Parent’s offering and sale of $350,000,000 6.00% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Notes”) and the related guarantees of the Notes by the Subsidiary Guarantors (the “Note Guarantees”). The Registration Statement registers the offering from time to time, pursuant to Rule 415 under the Act, of (i) common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Parent (the “Common Stock”), (ii) preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Parent (the “Preferred Stock”), (iii) the debt securities of the Parent which may be senior or subordinated (the “Debt Securities”), (iv) guarantees of the Debt Securities by one or more of the Subsidiary Guarantors (the “Guarantees”), (v) warrants to purchase Common Stock, Preferred Stock, Debt Securities or any combination thereof (the “Warrants”), and (vi) units consisting of one or more of the Common Stock, Preferred Stock, Debt Securities or Warrants, or any combination thereof (the “Units”) (collectively, the Common Stock, Preferred Stock, Debt Securities and Warrants are referred to as the “Securities”). The offering of the Securities will be as set forth in the prospectus dated September 12, 2014, forming a part of the Registration Statement (the “Base Prospectus”), as supplemented by the preliminary prospectus supplement dated April 11, 2016 (the “Preliminary Prospectus Supplement”), the final prospectus supplement dated April 11, 2016 (the “Final Prospectus Supplement”). The Notes are to be issued under the Indenture, dated as of September 25, 2014, between Parent and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), in substantially the same form as the form of Indenture for Senior Notes filed with the Registration Statement (the “Base Indenture”). Certain terms of the Notes and Note Guarantees are being established pursuant to a Second Supplemental Indenture, dated April 18, 2016, among Parent, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee, to the Base Indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture” and together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”).

We have also been asked to review that certain Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 (the “Post-Effective Amendment”) to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 executed by B.I. Incorporated, the Parent and certain other subsidiaries of the Parent, the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement and the Final Prospectus Supplement.
