                       CORRECTIONS CORPORATION OF AMERICA
          ANNOUNCES 2005 FOURTH QUARTER AND YEAR END FINANCIAL RESULTS

NASHVILLE, TENN. - FEBRUARY 9, 2006 - CORRECTIONS CORPORATION OF AMERICA (NYSE:
CXW) (the "Company"), the nation's largest provider of corrections management
services to government agencies, today announced its financial results for the
three- and twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2005.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

FOURTH QUARTER OF 2005 COMPARED WITH FOURTH QUARTER OF 2004

For the three months ended December 31, 2005, the Company reported net income
available to common stockholders of $23.4 million, or $0.58 per diluted share,
compared with net income available to common stockholders of $14.9 million, or
$0.38 per diluted share, for the same period in the prior year.

Financial results for the fourth quarter of 2005 included a pre-tax charge of
approximately $1.0 million, or $0.02 per diluted share after taxes, for the
previously announced acceleration of vesting of all outstanding stock options
effective December 30, 2005. Excluding this special charge, net income available
to common stockholders was $0.60 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of
2005. Financial results for the fourth quarter of 2004 included income tax
charges related to an assessment by the Internal Revenue Service of taxes
associated with prior refunds received by the Company during 2002 and 2003,
partially offset by a net income tax benefit for the implementation of tax
planning strategies. Excluding these items, net income available to common
stockholders was $0.41 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2004.

Operating income for the fourth quarter of 2005 was $50.4 million, including the
$1.0 million charge for the accelerated vesting of stock options, compared with
$44.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2004. EBITDA Adjusted for Special Items
("Adjusted EBITDA") for the three months ended December 31, 2005, increased
14.0% to $67.1 million, compared with $58.9 million for the same period in 2004.
The financial results for the three months ended December 31, 2005, were
positively affected by a new management contract with the Federal Bureau of
Prisons ("BOP") at the Company's Northeast Ohio Correctional Center that
commenced in June 2005, as well as increased inmate populations at a number of
the Company's facilities, including the Prairie, Lake City, Diamondback, and
Crowley facilities.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow increased 37.6% to $41.5 million during the three months
ended December 31, 2005, compared with $30.1 million generated during the same
period in 2004, primarily as a result of the increase in net income, as well as
a decrease in facility maintenance capital expenditures.

Financial results for the fourth quarter of 2005 were positively impacted by the
successful pursuit of certain tax strategies at both the state and federal
level, contributing to the favorable 31.9% effective tax rate for the fourth
quarter of 2005, and 34.7% effective tax rate for the year ended December 31,
2005. The effective tax rate during the fourth quarter of 2004 was 44.7%
resulting from the aforementioned

IRS assessment, and 40.2% for the year ended December 31, 2004. Although the
Company implemented several successful tax strategies during 2005, certain of
these strategies generated one-time benefits and were magnified by the
recognition of deductible expenses associated with the Company's debt
refinancing transactions completed during the first half of 2005. The Company
currently estimates its 2006 tax rate to be approximately 38%.

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005 COMPARED WITH THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2005, the Company generated net income
available to common stockholders of $50.1 million, or $1.25 per diluted share,
compared with $61.1 million, or $1.55 per diluted share, for the twelve months
ended December 31, 2004. In addition to the $1.0 million charge for the
accelerated vesting of stock options reflected during the fourth quarter of
2005, financial results for 2005 included a pre-tax charge of $35.3 million for
refinancing transactions completed during the first and second quarters.
Earnings per diluted share excluding these special items amounted to $1.84 per
diluted share. Financial results for 2005 also included a charge of $0.03 per
diluted share, net of taxes, for the amortization of restricted stock issued to
employees who had historically been granted stock options.

In addition to the $0.03 per diluted share income tax charge during the fourth
quarter of 2004, financial results for the year ended December 31, 2004,
included an income tax benefit of $0.03 per diluted share during the third
quarter of 2004, primarily resulting from a change in estimated income taxes
associated with certain financing transactions completed during 2003. Therefore,
these items had no net impact on diluted earnings per share for the year ended
December 31, 2004.

Operating income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005, increased to
$176.9 million, compared with $173.4 million for the same period in the prior
year. Operating income was negatively impacted by an increase in general and
administrative expense, which included $2.7 million for stock-based compensation
not reflected in the prior year, as well as an increase in depreciation and
amortization expense primarily resulting from several expansions completed
during 2004. Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2005, increased to
$237.5 million compared with $226.9 million during 2004.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow increased 13.8% during 2005 to $128.2 million compared
with $112.6 million during 2004. Adjusted Free Cash Flow was favorably impacted
by a $12.2 million reduction in maintenance and technology capital expenditures
and was negatively impacted by an increase in cash taxes paid by $12.3 million,
primarily for the previously disclosed repayment during the first half of 2005
associated with excess refunds received by the Company in 2002 and 2003.

Earnings Per Diluted Share Excluding Special Charges, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA
and Adjusted Free Cash Flow are non-GAAP financial measures. Please refer to the
Supplemental Financial Information and related note following the financial
statements herein for further discussion and reconciliations of these measures
to GAAP financial measures.

OPERATIONS HIGHLIGHTS

For the three months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, key operating statistics
for the continuing operations of the Company were as follows:

QUARTER ENDED DECEMBER 31, -------------------------- Metric 2005 2004 ------ ---------- ---------- Average Available Beds 70,685 66,558 Average Compensated Occupancy 93.1% 92.9% Total Compensated Man-Days 6,053,534 5,686,367 Revenue per Compensated Man-Day $ 51.66 $ 49.76 Operating Expense per Compensated Man-Day: Fixed 28.05 27.57 Variable 9.87 9.52 ---------- ---------- Total 37.92 37.09 ---------- ---------- Operating Margin per Compensated Man-Day $ 13.74 $ 12.67 ========== ========== Operating Margin 26.6% 25.5%
Operating margins increased from 25.5% during the fourth quarter 2004 to 26.6% in the fourth quarter 2005. The increase in margins from the prior-year period was substantially the result of the aforementioned higher inmate populations at a number of the Company's facilities. The Company discloses a complete listing of occupancies by facility in its Supplemental Financial Information posted on its website at www.correctionscorp.com. Total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2005 increased 9.9% to $317.2 million from $288.5 million during the fourth quarter of 2004, as total compensated man-days increased 6.5% to 6.1 million from 5.7 million compensated man-days, and as revenue per compensated man-day increased to $51.66 from $49.76, an increase of 3.8%. In addition, average compensated occupancy for the fourth quarter of 2005 increased to 93.1% from 92.9% in the fourth quarter of 2004. A significant factor affecting occupancy percentage was an increase in the previously reported design capacities of a number of facilities based on the nature of the customer utilizing the facilities. These reconfigurations are typically completed with minimal capital outlays. Excluding these changes in design capacity, average compensated occupancy for the three months ended December 31, 2005, would have been 95.2%. Fixed expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2005, increased to $28.05 per compensated man-day compared with $27.57 per compensated man-day during the same period in 2004, an increase of $0.48 per compensated man-day. The increase in fixed expenses per compensated man-day was primarily the result of an increase in salaries and benefits of $0.39 per compensated man-day, as well as an increase in utilities of $0.24 per compensated man-day resulting from increasing energy costs. The increase in salaries and benefits was driven by annual pay increases, and the effects of increased staffing and overtime for the new contract at the Company's Northeast Ohio facility, as well as for overtime incurred to handle population increases at the Houston Processing Center, Lake City Correctional Facility, and the Prairie Correctional Facility. Variable expenses for the fourth quarter of 2005 increased to $9.87 per compensated man-day compared with $9.52 per compensated man-day during the fourth quarter of 2004, an increase of $0.35 per compensated man-day. The increase in variable expenses per compensated man-day resulted primarily from an increase in expenses related to legal proceedings in which the Company is involved, partially offset by a reduction in inmate medical. -more- CCA 2005 Fourth Quarter Results Page 4 REFINANCING SUMMARY Subsequent to year-end, the Company refinanced its senior bank credit facility, paying off the $139.0 million balance of the term portion of the facility with the proceeds from the issuance of $150.0 million of 6.75% senior unsecured notes due 2014, after paying-off the remaining $10.0 million balance of the revolving portion of the facility with cash on hand. In connection with the refinancing, the Company increased its borrowing capacity by obtaining a new $150.0 million revolving credit facility which currently has no outstanding balance. The new revolving credit facility is secured primarily by security interests in the Company's accounts receivable and is not secured by liens on any of the Company's real estate assets. The Company intends to use the new facility to fund capital expenditures and for general corporate purposes. As a result of the refinancing and repayments, the interest rates on all of the Company's outstanding indebtedness are fixed, with a total weighted average interest rate of 6.9%. BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT UPDATE On December 21, 2005, the Company announced that it had reached an agreement with the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE") to manage up to 600 detainees at the Company's T. Don Hutto Correctional Center in Taylor, Texas. The Company currently expects to begin receiving ICE detainees in late February 2006 and expects the facility will be substantially occupied before the end of the second quarter of 2006. On January 11, 2006, the Company announced that it received notification from the Federal Bureau of Prisons ("BOP") of its intent not to exercise its renewal option at the Company's 1,500-bed Eloy Detention Center in Eloy, Arizona. On January 31, 2006, the Eloy facility housed approximately 300 inmates from the BOP and approximately 850 detainees from ICE pursuant to a subcontract between the BOP and ICE. The Company is currently in discussions with ICE about plans to allow ICE to continue utilizing the Eloy facility for existing and potential future requirements. However, the Company can provide no assurance that it will ultimately reach an agreement to continue housing ICE detainees at the Eloy facility. In order to maintain an adequate supply of available beds to meet anticipated demand, while offering the state of Hawaii the opportunity to consolidate its inmates into fewer facilities, the Company recently commenced construction of the new 1,896-bed Saguaro Correctional Facility, located adjacent to the 1,596-bed Red Rock Correctional Facility currently under construction in Eloy, Arizona. The Saguaro facility is expected to cost approximately $100.1 million. Construction of the Red Rock Correctional Facility is expected to be completed late in the second or early third quarter of 2006, while construction of the Saguaro Correctional Facility is expected to be completed during the second half of 2007. The Company currently expects to relocate approximately 750 Alaskan inmates from the Florence Correctional Center to the Red Rock Correctional Facility, and to consolidate inmates from the state of Hawaii from several of the Company's facilities to the Saguaro Correctional Facility. The Company currently houses approximately 1,850 inmates from the state of Hawaii at several of its correctional facilities. Commenting on the Company's financial results, President and CEO John Ferguson stated, "We are obviously pleased with the fourth quarter and full-year results for 2005, a year that ultimately reflected the benefits of a number of initiatives we have pursued for quite some time. With respect to revenues, we benefited from our recent contract with the Federal Bureau of Prisons at Northeast Ohio, as well as from higher inmate populations at a number of our recently completed expansions including Houston, Leavenworth and Lake City. We continued to strengthen our capital structure, as evidenced by the -more- CCA 2005 Fourth Quarter Results Page 5 refinancing completed in the first quarter of 2005, which significantly reduced interest expense for the year. Finally, we continued to control operating costs, experiencing an increase of less than 3% per man-day over 2004." Ferguson continued, "Looking forward, we remain optimistic about prospects for our remaining inventory of beds. As a result, we commenced construction of our Red Rock facility in early 2005 and are now proceeding with our new Saguaro facility. Despite the cancellation of its contract with us at our Eloy facility, the Federal Bureau of Prisons has informed the private sector of a specific need for several thousand beds over the next five years. We continue to pursue the CAR 5 opportunity for 1,200 beds, which we expect will be awarded during the first half of the year. In addition, the Bureau of Immigrations and Custom Enforcement, under its Secure Border Initiative, should also require several thousand additional beds in the near term, and we will consider the needs of this agency as well as a number of other customers in making plans for additional bed capacity." GUIDANCE The Company expects diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of 2006 to be in the range of $0.47 to $0.50, and full year EPS to be in the range of $2.10 to $2.17, excluding $0.02 per diluted share, net of taxes, for expenses associated with the aforementioned debt refinancing transactions completed in the first quarter of 2006. This guidance includes expenses totaling $0.09 per diluted share, net of taxes, for stock-based compensation, compared with $0.03 per diluted share, net of taxes, during 2005 for the amortization of restricted stock. During 2006, the Company expects to invest approximately $154.6 million in capital expenditures, consisting of approximately $111.0 million in prison construction and expansions, $28.1 million in maintenance capital expenditures and $15.5 million in information technology.

NOTE TO SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION Net income excluding special charges, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted free cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures. The Company believes that these measures are important operating measures that supplement discussion and analysis of the Company's results of operations and are used to review and assess operating performance of the Company and its correctional facilities and their management teams. The Company believes that it is useful to provide investors, lenders and security analysts disclosures of its results of operations on the same basis as that used by management. Management and investors review both the Company's overall performance (including GAAP EPS, net income, and Adjusted free cash flow) and the operating performance of the Company's correctional facilities (EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA). EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful as supplemental measures of the performance of the Company's correctional facilities because they do not take into account depreciation and amortization, tax provisions, or with respect to Adjusted EBITDA the impact of the Company's financing strategies. Because the historical cost accounting convention used for real estate assets requires depreciation (except on land), this accounting presentation assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes at a level rate over time. Because of the unique structure, design and use of the Company's correctional facilities, management believes that assessing performance of the Company's correctional facilities without the impact of depreciation or amortization is useful. The calculation of Adjusted free cash flow substitutes capital expenditures incurred to maintain the functionality and condition of the Company's correctional facilities in lieu of a provision for depreciation; Adjusted free cash flow also excludes certain other non-cash expenses that do not affect the Company's ability to service debt. The Company may make adjustments to GAAP net income, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted free cash flow from time to time for certain other income and expenses that it considers non-recurring, infrequent or unusual, such as the special charges in the preceding calculation of earnings per diluted share excluding special charges, even though such items may or may not require cash settlement, because such items do not reflect a necessary component of the ongoing operations of the Company. Other companies may calculate EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted free cash flow differently than the Company does, or adjust for other items, and therefore comparability may be limited. EPS excluding special charges, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted free cash flow are not measures of performance under GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities or as a measure of liquidity or an alternative to net income as indicators of the Company's operating performance or any other measure of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. This data should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and related notes included in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. ###
