		Group 4 Falck are best known in the UK for guarding and transporting cash, transporting prisoners to court hearings, but more notoriously allowing prisoners to escape.
		Group 4 Falck and Wackenhut will together be by far the largest detention contractor in the UK, profiting as never before from the government's racist and inhumane asylum and immigration policy.
		Group 4 Falck will have an estimated turnover of DKK 31 billion from the prison industry and the internment and transportation of migrants and refugees.

	House of Commons - Public Accounts - Minutes of Evidence
		Premier Custodial Group (PCG) is a joint venture company equally owned by Serco Group plc (Serco) and Wackenhut Corrections Corporation (WCC).
		PCG was formed in 1992 and manages contracts ranging from prisons, a secure training centre, an immigration centre (with a second in the course of construction), escorting and court custody services and electronic tagging.
		The introduction of competition into the custodial market has been instrumental in raising standards across the entire prison estate and in the main, privately run prisons perform to a higher standard than their public sector counterparts.

	Oral evidence
		Premier lost £3.2 million and suffered a very severe loss because of the failings at Ashfield.
		Premier lost an awful lot of money on their venture into running Ashfield, which I am sure Mr Beeston would be able to tell you more about.
		It is significant that the two private prisons which will open in the south-east, Peterborough and Ashford, will both pay salaries to their prison custody officers much nearer to the public sector wage levels which are determined in part by attracting people to prisons in the south-east.

	Group 4 Falck A/S and The Wackenhut Corporation: A report on the merger situation
		Premier provides outsourced custodial services for the Home Office and the Scottish Executive including the provision of prisons and immigrant detention centres, prisoner transport services and the electronic monitoring of offenders.
		The other markets we investigated were four categories of custodial market and the market for the provision of prisoner and immigrant detainee transport where the supply of services by companies in the enlarged G4F group overlap as a result of the acquisition.
		We examined these factors against the background that competitors of Premier and GSL might have a reduced incentive to compete if they perceived that Premier and GSL were not to be regarded as independent of each other.

	UK Hall of Shame (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Group 4, one of the bigger companies involved in the prison sector, said it was "disappointed" by last week's decision.

	Valuation of Premier Custodial Determined
		Serco has held 50% of Premier since 1992, during which time Premier has developed a strong presence in the UK custodial market in the management of prisons, secure training centres and immigration centres, as well as court escort services and leading the market in the provision of electronic tagging services.
		The long-term nature of contracts in the UK custodial market, some for up to 25 years, provides high visibility of earnings into the future, and the Home Office requirement for custodial services demonstrates that growth potential for the business is good.
		Premier, drawing upon its relationship with Serco, aims to provide every chance for the people in our care to assimilate back into society.

		Group 4 Falck has acquired the 57 per cent of WCC that was owned by the Wackenhut Corporation.

		At the commencement of the new contract, the number of managers increased by nine to 67; the number of prisoner custody officers decreased by 47; and the number of support staff increased by 21.
