CCA (Correction Corporation of America)

The Correction Corporation of America (CCA), now known as CoreCivic, is a private company that manages and operates correctional facilities, such as prisons and detention centers, on behalf of government agencies. They provide incarceration services, including security, inmate management, and rehabilitation programs, aiming to offer cost-effective solutions for the criminal justice system. As a for-profit entity, their goal is to run these facilities efficiently while complying with regulations. Critics often debate the ethics and effectiveness of privatizing prisons, but the company plays a significant role in the U.S. corrections industry.
