Exhibit 99.1 Karin Demler: (615) 263-3005 CORRECTIONS CORPORATION OF AMERICA ANNOUNCES 2002 FOURTH QUARTER AND YEAR END RESULTS NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- February 12, 2003 -- Corrections Corporation of America (NYSE: CXW) (the "Company") today announced its operating results for the three month period and year ended December 31, 2002. For the fourth quarter of 2002, the Company reported net income available to common stockholders of $37.9 million, or $1.14 per diluted share, compared with $25.9 million, or $0.80 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2001. Results for the fourth quarter of 2002 included the following special items: - A tax benefit of approximately $30.3 million representing a reduction of the Company's tax valuation allowance arising primarily as a result of 2002 tax deductions based on a cumulative effect of accounting change for tax depreciation to be reported on the Company's 2002 federal income tax return. The change in tax depreciation results in a 2002 tax loss that will enable the Company to obtain a refund of approximately $32.1 million, which the Company expects to receive during the second quarter of 2003; and - A charge of $4.0 million for success-based professional fees incurred in connection with the aforementioned tax strategy. Results for the fourth quarters of 2002 and 2001 also included: - A non-cash charge of $0.6 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, and a non-cash gain of $26.5 million, or $0.74 per diluted share, respectively, related to the accounting for certain derivative instruments in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 ("SFAS 133"). Excluding these transactions, for the quarter ended December 31, 2002, the Company generated net income available to common stockholders of $12.2 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, compared with a net loss available to common stockholders of $0.6 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2001. The effects of the above items are further illustrated in the following table: THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, ------------------------- 2002 2001 -------- -------- Net income available to common stockholders $ 37,876 $ 25,942 Income tax benefit (30,259) -- Success-based tax professional fees 4,000 -- Change in fair value of derivative instruments 628 (26,499) -------- -------- $ 12,245 $ (557) ======== ======== Per diluted share $ 0.40 $ (0.02) ======== ======== Consolidated revenues for the fourth quarter of 2002 amounted to $248.4 million, compared with $235.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2001. Consolidated EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2002 was $45.3 million, which was net of the aforementioned $4.0 million success-based professional fees, compared with $47.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2001. Debt service costs for the quarter, excluding non-cash items, -More-

CCA 2002 Fourth Quarter and Year End Results February 12, 2003 Page 2 amounted to approximately $21.7 million during the fourth quarter of 2002, compared with $25.1 million during the fourth quarter of 2001. Average compensated occupancy for continuing operations of the Company for the fourth quarter of 2002 was 91.2%, compared with 87.6% for the comparable prior year period. Adjusted free cash flow continued to improve, with $23.1 million, or $0.72 per diluted share, generated during the fourth quarter of 2002, compared with $18.3 million, or $0.59 per diluted share, generated during the fourth quarter of 2001, representing a 22% increase in adjusted free cash flow per diluted share. Please refer to the Calculation of Adjusted Free Cash Flow and EBITDA and related information following our financial statements herein. Commenting on the fourth quarter results, President and CEO, John Ferguson, stated, "The Company was pleased with its results for the quarter. Earnings after special items grew significantly to $0.40 per diluted share compared with a loss of $0.02 per diluted share in the prior year's fourth quarter. In addition to the increase in earnings, EBITDA grew 4% and adjusted free cash flow per share increased 41%, after adjusting for the success-based professional fees." For the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company reported a net loss available to common stockholders of $28.9 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, compared with net income available to common stockholders of $5.7 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, in 2001. In addition to the fourth quarter items discussed above, results for the year ended December 31, 2002, included the following special items: - An extraordinary charge of $36.7 million, or $1.03 per diluted share, associated with the Company's refinancing of its senior indebtedness in May 2002; - A non-cash charge of $80.3 million, or $2.26 per diluted share, for the cumulative effect of a change in accounting for goodwill in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 ("SFAS 142"); and - An additional cash income tax benefit of $32.2 million, or $0.91 per diluted share, resulting from an income tax change that was signed into law in March 2002, which enabled the Company to utilize net operating losses incurred during 2001 to offset taxable income generated in 1997 and 1996 to obtain a refund of approximately $32.2 million during April 2002. Results for the year ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 also included: - Non-cash gains of $2.2 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2002, and $14.6 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2001, related to the accounting for certain derivative instruments in accordance with SFAS 133. Excluding these transactions, for the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company generated net income available to common stockholders of $27.4 million, or $0.92 per diluted share, compared with a net loss available to common stockholders of $8.9 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2001. The effects of the above items are further illustrated in the following table: -More-

CCA 2002 Fourth Quarter and Year End Results February 12, 2003 Page 3 TWELVE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, ------------------------- 2002 2001 -------- -------- Net income (loss) available to common stockholders $(28,875) $ 5,670 Income tax benefit (62,483) -- Success-based tax professional fees 4,000 -- Change in fair value of derivative instruments (2,206) (14,554) Extraordinary charge 36,670 -- Cumulative effect of accounting change 80,276 -- -------- -------- $ 27,382 $ (8,884) ======== ======== Per diluted share $ 0.92 $ (0.36) ======== ======== For the year ended December 31, 2002, revenues increased to $962.8 million compared with $936.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. Consolidated EBITDA, after adding back the success-based professional fees, declined slightly to $189.1 million from $192.7, while adjusted free cash flow per share, also adjusted for the non-recurring item, increased significantly to $2.80 from $2.33 in 2001, an increase of approximately 20.2%. Average compensated occupancy for continuing operations of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2002, increased slightly to 89.6% from 88.4% in 2001, while operating margins remained at 22.9%. Commenting on the annual results, Mr. Ferguson stated, "Although revenues and EBITDA remained essentially flat year over year, the Company did make significant progress on many fronts during 2002. We have consistently stated that earnings growth would result from a combination of occupancy driven revenue increases, improving operating margins and the rationalization of our capital structure." Ferguson continued, "During 2002 we executed several significant contracts, the economic effects of which will not be realized until 2003 and beyond. We also stabilized operating margins and began several initiatives which should lead to margin improvement over the next several years. Finally, we completed a significant refinancing during 2002, which combined with a favorable interest rate environment, drove substantial earnings and cash flow growth. The improvements in our capital structure were also recognized by both major ratings agencies through upgrades of our debt ratings in 2002." OPERATIONS UPDATE For the quarters ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, key operating statistics for the continuing operations of the Company were as follows: THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, --------------------------------- Metric 2002 2001 ----------- ----------- Average Available Beds 58,206 58,708 Average Compensated Occupancy 91.2% 87.6% Total Compensated Man-Days 4,885,806 4,732,474 Revenue per Compensated Man-Day $ 49.85 $ 48.76 Operating Expense per Compensated Man-Day: Fixed 27.40 27.68 Variable 10.60 9.88 ----------- ----------- Total $ 38.00 $ 37.56 ----------- ----------- Operating Margin per Compensated Man-Day $ 11.85 $ 11.20 Operating Margin 23.8% 23.0% -More-

CCA 2002 Fourth Quarter and Year End Results February 12, 2003 Page 4 Operating margins increased to $11.85 per compensated man-day in the fourth quarter of 2002 from $11.20 per compensated man-day in the prior year, while the operating margin ratio improved to 23.8% from 23.0% for the same period in the prior year. Revenue per compensated man-day increased to $49.85 during the fourth quarter of 2002, representing the seventh consecutive quarterly increase. EBITDA from continuing operations, exclusive of the aforementioned success-based professional fees and discontinued operations, increased from $44.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2001 to $49.4 million during the fourth quarter of 2002. PURCHASE OF CROWLEY COUNTY CORRECTIONAL FACILITY On January 17, 2003, the Company purchased the Crowley County Correctional Facility, a 1,200-bed medium security adult male prison facility located in Olney Springs, Crowley County, Colorado, for a cash purchase price of approximately $47.5 million. The Company financed the purchase price through $30.0 million in borrowings under its senior bank credit facility pursuant to an expansion of its existing $565.0 million term loan B facility, with the balance of the purchase price satisfied with cash on hand. Upon purchase of the Crowley facility the Company owns and operates four Colorado facilities consisting of approximately 3,400 beds. TAX SETTLEMENT On October 28, 2002, the Company announced that it entered into a definitive settlement agreement with the IRS in connection with the previously disclosed IRS audit of the Company's predecessor's 1997 federal income tax return. Under the terms of the settlement, in consideration for the IRS's final determinations with respect to the 1997 tax year, during the fourth quarter the Company paid $52.2 million to satisfy federal and state taxes and interest. Pursuant to the terms of the settlement, the IRS audit adjustments agreed to for the 1997 tax year will not trigger any additional distribution requirements by the Company in order to preserve its status as a real estate investment trust for federal income tax purposes for 1999. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE FROM PUERTO RICO At December 31, 2002, accounts receivable included approximately $13.8 million from the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, classified as current assets of discontinued operations due to the termination of the Company's contracts to manage three facilities in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico during the second and third quarters of 2002. Subsequent to year end, the Company entered into an agreement with the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico regarding the payment and resolution of the balance of the receivable. The agreement specifies payment dates for $11.3 million, of which $4.7 million has been collected, with the balance to be paid upon reconciliation of invoices presented. The Company currently expects to collect the balance of the receivable and, therefore, no allowance for doubtful accounts has been established for the accounts receivable balance. However, no assurance can be given as to the timing and ultimate collectibility of the remaining amounts due. CONTRACT UPDATE On December 13, 2002, the State of Florida notified the Company of its intention to terminate the Company's contract to manage the 96-bed Okeechobee Juvenile Offender Correctional Center upon the expiration of a short-term extension to the existing management contract, which expired in December 2002. This termination is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. For the year ended December 31, 2002 this facility generated approximately $0.8 million in EBITDA. -More-

CCA 2002 Fourth Quarter and Year End Results February 12, 2003 Page 5 The Company received notice on June 28, 2002 from the Mississippi Department of Corrections terminating the Company's contract to manage the 1,016-bed Delta Correctional Facility due to non-appropriation of funds. The Delta Correctional Facility was closed by the State of Mississippi on October 6, 2002. The State of Mississippi has agreed to expand the Company's management contract at the Wilkinson County Correctional Facility to accommodate an additional 100 inmates. On May 30, 2002, the Company announced a contract award from the Federal Bureau of Prisons (the "BOP"), to house 1,524 federal detainees at the Company's McRae Correctional Facility located in McRae, Georgia. The initial term of the contract is for three years and includes seven one-year renewal options. The contract with the BOP guarantees at least 95% occupancy on a take-or-pay basis, and the Company began receiving inmates under the contract on December 1, 2002. On October 28, 2002, the Company announced a lease of its Whiteville, Tennessee facility to Hardeman County, Tennessee, which has contracted with the State of Tennessee to manage up to 1,536 inmates. The Company has contracted with Hardeman County to manage the inmates housed in the Whiteville facility. The Company currently manages approximately 775 Tennessee inmates in the Whiteville facility as a result of this contract. Commenting on the fourth quarter business development activities, John Ferguson stated, "The Company completed an active fourth quarter in which we began receiving inmates under new contracts at both our Whiteville, Tennessee facility and our McRae, Georgia facility. During the quarter, we entered into a contract to purchase the Crowley prison facility in Colorado, which we closed in January 2003. This acquisition adds 1,200 new beds to our inventory in a state where projections call for significant inmate growth over the next several years." Ferguson continued, "The McRae, Whiteville, and Crowley transactions, none of which had a material impact on our 2002 results, should favorably impact our earnings in 2003. Looking forward, we believe the environment for private prison operators continues to be favorable. We believe that existing prison overcrowding, combined with the budget difficulties facing many of our customers, should lead to greater demand for our services over the coming years." INCOME TAXES Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 ("SFAS 109") requires the Company to provide a valuation allowance to reserve its deferred tax assets until such time as the Company demonstrates a history and reasonable likelihood of generating future taxable income. Removal of the valuation allowance, which totaled $111.0 million at December 31, 2002, in whole or in part would result in a non-cash income tax benefit. Based upon the requirements of SFAS 109 and the Company's recent history of taxable losses, the Company does not expect to remove the valuation allowance prior to the fourth quarter of 2003 or report a recurring provision for income tax expense during 2003. BUSINESS OUTLOOK The Company is providing initial EBITDA guidance for the first quarter and full year 2003 stating that for the full year, the Company expects EBITDA to increase to a range of between $206 and $210 million. For the first quarter, the Company expects EBITDA to be in the range of $49 to $51 million. -More-

However, other companies may calculate EBITDA and adjusted free cash flow differently than we do. EBITDA and adjusted free cash flow are not measures of performance under generally accepted accounting principles ("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 our operating performance or any other measure of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. This data should be read in conjunction with our combined and consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. -END-
