Apex Correctional Group

Guardians Corrections Group or GCG was a large private prison company that was formed in 18 bby. It swiftly took up numerous contracts with the Galactic Empire and began setting up privately run political prisons and detention centers throughout the galaxy. In exchange for helping the Empire expand its means of suppressing dissent, the company received enormous profits both from locking up enemies of the state and using their forced labor to make consumer goods. The company generated massive amounts of profit up until and during the Galactic Civil War, despite a number of its facilities being raided by resistance groups.
