Today, Singer's holdings in the jail operators are worth more than $150 million—a profit of more than $42 million and a return of almost 40% in less than two months.</span></div><div>
</div><div>Prison stocks broke out of their funk after the presidential election last week, as Trump's victory assuaged fears that Hillary Clinton would shut down private prisons, something she'd suggested during her campaign out of public safety concerns. CoreCivic, then still called Corrections Corp., was the top-performing stock the day after the election, up nearly 50%, while GEO Group stock rose 21%. (The company since then has implemented a name change that it announced in October.)</div><div>
</div><div>Still, Singer was not necessarily hoping Trump would win, even if he stood to benefit from that outcome. In June, the hedge fund manager predicted that Trump's trade policies would cause a <b>"widespread global depression," and said that he might not vote for either Trump or Clinton.</b></div><div><b>
</b></div><div>During the campaign season, Singer gave millions of dollars to Republican groups promoting GOP candidate <b>Marco Rubio</b> and opposing Donald Trump. Singer additionally donated more than $2 million to a political action committee supporting Republican politicians who are committed to equal rights for gay and transgender Americans.</div><div>
</div><div>GEO Group stock, Elliott's larger holding of the jail stock pair, has soared 36% since it showed up in the hedge fund's portfolio at the end of September, according to securities disclosures released Monday. CoreCivic's shares have risen more than 40% over the same time period.</div><div>
</div><div>Before the election, Elliott was already leading its hedge fund peers, returning 8% year to date, according to a person familiar with its performance.Singer wasn't alone in betting on for-profit prison companies ahead of last week's vote. Other hedge funds that added the stocks to their portfolios in the third quarter include Bloom Tree Partners, a so-called Tiger Cub hedge fund seeded by Tiger Management founder Julian Robertson, which made $24 million on CoreCivic and GEO Group stock since then. </div><div>
</div><div><b>David Einhorn</b>'s Greenlight Capital has also gained more than $2 million on its GEO Group shares since investing in the company last quarter.</div><div>http://fortune.com/2016/11/15/trump-prison-stocks-cca-elliott-paul-singer/</div></div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><p style="margin-top: 8px; margin-bottom: 8px;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"></font></p></div></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"></font></div><h1 style="margin: 10px 0px;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">

election cycle even though there was no evidence of any coordinated
voter fraud in the state. They reappeared in September 2012. In between,
Wisconsin passed a strict ALEC-inspired voter ID law in May 2011 that
threatened to disenfranchise hundreds of thousands of African Americans,
the elderly and students. The law was <a href="http://www.prwatch.org/news/2012/07/11649/second-judge-finds-wis-voter-id-law-unconstitutional" title="reference on found to violate the right to vote enshrined in the Wisconsin Constitution by two state court judges" target="_blank">found to violate the right to vote enshrined in the Wisconsin Constitution by two state court judges</a>,

identification needs to be presented at the polls is still prevalent.</font>
<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">After increasing public pressure by civil rights groups, which
included the online group Color of Change, Clear Channel (owned by Bain
Capital) agreed to remove the billboards in mid-October, but the origin
of the funding for the billboards was still unclear.</font>

<p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">On Monday, October 29th, 2012 the progressive organization One
Wisconsin Now and news source 'theGrio' exposed the Einhorn Family
Foundation as being behind a series of controversial political billboard
advertisements. The billboards featured threatening messages about
voter fraud stating that "Voter Fraud is a Felony! 3 1/2 years &
10,000 dollar fine." <sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Einhorn_Family_Foundation#cite_note-2">[3]</a></sup>
The billboards where placed in largely Black and Hispanic neighborhoods
throughout the cities of Milwaukee, Cleveland, and Columbus, Ohio. The
billboards first appeared in the 2010 election, and resurfaced in
September of 2012. During the time period in between, Wisconsin
attempted to pass a strict <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/ALEC" title="ALEC" class="mw-redirect">ALEC</a>-inspired
voter ID law in May 2011 that threatened to disenfranchise thousands of
African Americans, Hispanics, the elderly and students. Civil Rights
Groups, fearing that confusion over the status of the law would deter
minority voters from the polls, criticized the ads and placed pressure
on <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Bain_Capital" title="Bain Capital">Bain Capital</a> owned Clear Channel to take the advertisements down. <sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Einhorn_Family_Foundation#cite_note-3">[4]</a></sup>
Clear Channel took down the advertisements, officials from Clear
Channel explained that the billboards violated the company's policy of
displaying anonymous political ads. When Clear Channel requested that
the Einhorn Family Foundation identify themselves on the advertisements,
the Einhorn family then chose to have the advertisements taken down. <sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Einhorn_Family_Foundation#cite_note-4">[5]</a></sup></font>

listed as a "featured supporter" on the website for the Fund for
American Studies. She is noted for her idea to donate her Social

on a bill that would have established a Wisconsin Venture Capital
Authority. The agency "would issue $200 million of bonds to raise money
for venture capital funds that invest in young, high-potential

Republicans have thus far failed to pass the legislation due to
concerns about the bills effectiveness in creating Wisconsin jobs and
its impact on the budget. <sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Einhorn_Family_Foundation#cite_note-14">[15]</a></sup></font>
