An Original Dataset Sample Clauses

An Original Dataset. To construct my dataset, I relied on the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)’s 10-K reports, annual reports publicly-traded companies are required to file with the SEC. These reports contain information on the location of companies’ privately oper- ated facilities and, for the most part, data on customers, design capacity, and contract length. My sample includes the facilities operated by four companies: CoreCivic, the GEO Group, Correctional Services Corporation (CSC), and Cornell Companies6. The entire sample encompasses private prisons from 1986 to present, but the coverage dif- fers across different firms. CoreCivic is included in the data from 1986 to present, GEO Group from 1989 to present, CSC from 1997 to 2004, and Cornell from 1996 to 2009. The GEO Group acquired both CSC and Cornell Companies in 2005 and 2010, respectively, and both companies have acquired smaller, non-traded private prison companies over the last three decades. In fact, the industry has become smaller over 6There were a few name changes for these companies over the last few decades: CoreCivic is for- ▇▇▇▇▇ the Corrections Corporation of America, the GEO Group is formerly Wackenhut Corrections Corporation, and Correctional Services Corporation was formerly Esmor Correctional Corporation. time: in 1999, there were 12 private prison firms and by 2016, eight of the original twelve were absorbed by other companies and only two new firms opened (Mumford, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇ 2016). Though the reports are fairly consistent over time, I filled in any missing data that occurred using past reports and other sources as a guide7. Additionally, this data encompasses only correctional facilities, like prisons and jails, and not community corrections facilities8. I chose to restrict the sample to only prison and jail facilities to measure the practice of private corrections, not private community corrections, which is a commonplace practice across all states. The result is a dataset of private jail or prison facilities, at either the local, state, or federal level, operated by publicly- traded private prison companies in each state-year from 1986 to present. This comprehensive dataset improves on the existing data in several ways. First, this dataset provides information on capacity, customer, and contract length for pri- vate prisons for the last three decades. No other dataset contains consistent data on these facilities for that long of a time span. Second, not only does this data con...

  • Personal Data Processing 2.1 The Processor shall process Personal Data only on the basis of corresponding recorded orders from the Controller. 2.2 By way of exception, in particular in urgent cases, processing orders from the Data Controller may also be made orally. In this case, the Data Controller shall confirm as soon as possible and in writing, by any appropriate means, the instructions given orally. 2.3 Where the processing concerns the transmission of Personal Data to a third country outside the European Union or to an international organization, the Data Processor shall also comply with the relevant instructions of the Data Controller, unless different legal requirements exist under European Union laws or the laws of the Member State to which the Data Processor is subject. In such a case, the Data Processor shall inform the Data Controller before processing of the legal requirement in question, unless the said law prohibits this kind of information for reasons of substantial public interest. 2.4 The transmission of Personal Data to a third country outside the European Union is prohibited unless the Data Controller has given prior explicit approval to that end, and one of the following conditions is met: • the European Commission has resolved that an adequate level of protection of personal data is ensured in the country the Personal Data is to be transmitted; • the transmission is to be made to the U.S.A.; and the recipient of the Personal Data has acceded to and abides by the Privacy Shield Framework; • the transmission will be governed by the standard data protection clauses issued by the European Commission. 2.5 The Data Processor shall inform the Data Controller immediately upon receipt of the order or as soon as possible if he / she determines that the content of a particular processing order violates the Regulation and / or national law and / or the law of another Member State of the European Union (EU), and / or other provisions of EU law on the protection of Personal Data. 2.6 The Data Processor acknowledges that the Data Controller has full control over her Personal Data and determines any particular feature of the processing to which the Personal Data will be submitted. If the Data Processor ignores the instructions of the Data Controller and determines alone the scope, the means and generally any other matter concerning the processing of Personal Data, she shall render herself the Data Controller for the purposes of implementing the Regulation and the legal framework on the protection of Personal Data. The practical consequence of this is that, in addition to the full responsibility of the Processor towards the Controller, she shall carry the same level of responsibility vis-à-vis the independent supervisory authority (and any other competent state authority) as well as the Natural Persons - Data Subjects of the data being processed.
