Premier Prison Services was a joint venture between [[Wackenhut Corrections Corporation]] (part of [[The Wackenhut Corporation]]) and [[Serco]] Plc.

In May 2002, The Wackenhut Corporation was acquired by [[Group 4 Falck]]. Through this acquisition, Group 4 got a 57% stake in Wackenhut Corrections Corporation (WCC), and took over WCC's 50% stake in Premier Prisons.

This meant Premier Prisons was jointly owned by Group 4 and Serco, until Serco won the right to full ownership off Premier in a legal dispute.

(In 2003, WCC re-bought the 57% of the company that Group 4 had acquired, and changed its name to the [[Geo Group]] Inc.)

Premier Detention Services ran [[Dungavel IRC]] and [[Colnbrook IRC]], which opened in August 2004.
