CXW CoreCivic Inc

CCA (NYSE:CXW) (the “Company” or “Corrections Corporation of America”), America's largest owner of partnership correctional, detention, and reentry facilities, announced today that it received an award from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) to house up to 120 residents as part of The Male Community Reentry Program (MCRP) at CCA's 120-bed CAI-Boston Avenue residential reentry facility in San Diego, California.

The MCRP was designed by the CDCR to provide a range of community-based, rehabilitative services that assist with substance use disorders, mental health care, medical care, employment, education, housing, family reunification and social support to help participants successfully reenter the community and reduce recidivism. 

The new contract contains an initial term extending to June 30, 2018, with three one-year renewal options, and is scheduled to commence on August 1, 2016.  The new contract is expected to generate approximately $4.0 million of annualized revenue.

In April 2016, CCA was awarded a contract to provide residential reentry services by the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP), which was a rebid of existing contracts at both CCA's CAI facilities, CAI-Boston Avenue and CAI-Ocean View.  During the contractual rebid process, CCA identified an opportunity to consolidate BOP resident populations at both facilities into the 483-bed CAI-Ocean View facility in order to make available the CAI-Boston Avenue facility for other potential partners and more efficiently utilize available capacity.    

"We continue to focus our efforts on delivering innovative and cost effective solutions to government partners, particularly in our rapidly growing portfolio of residential reentry facilities and services, and are excited to expand our partnership with the state of California to include residential reentry services," said Damon Hininger, CCA's President and Chief Executive Officer.
