Nashville, Tenn., June 2006 – Corrections Corporation of America (CCA) (NYSE: CXW), the nation’s largest provider of corrections management services to government agencies, announced today that it has entered into a new agreement with the state of Wyoming to house up to 600 of state’s male medium-security inmates at the Company’s North Fork Correctional Facility in Sayre, Oklahoma. The Company recently reactivated the North Fork facility due to its expectation of growing demand from several state customers.

The Company expects to begin receiving inmates by the end of June 2006, and expects approximately 500 Wyoming inmates to be housed in the North Fork facility by the end of July 2006.
