| ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS | 1. ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS CoreCivic, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the "Company" or "CoreCivic") is the nation's largest owner of partnership correctional, detention, and residential reentry facilities and one of the largest operators of such facilities in the United States ("U.S."). Through three segments, CoreCivic Residential, CoreCivic Services, and CoreCivic Properties, the Company provides a broad range of solutions to government partners that help build safer, healthier, and more productive communities, one person at a time. As of June 30, 2026, through its CoreCivic Residential segment, the Company operated 64 correctional, detention, and reentry facilities, 60 of which the Company owned or controlled via a long-term lease, with a total design capacity of approximately 72,000 beds. Through its CoreCivic Services segment, the Company provided mail order pharmacy services to over 600 correctional facilities, including correctional facilities owned or operated by CoreCivic, across 32 states, as well as transportation and electronic monitoring and case management services. In addition, through its CoreCivic Properties segment, the Company owned five properties held for lease to government agencies, with a total design capacity of approximately 8,000 beds. In addition to providing fundamental residential services, CoreCivic's correctional, detention, and reentry facilities offer a variety of rehabilitation and educational programs, including basic education, faith-based services, life skills and employment training, and substance abuse treatment. These services are intended to help reduce recidivism and to prepare individuals in the Company's care for their successful reentry into society upon their release. CoreCivic also provides or makes available to individuals in its care certain health care services (including medical, dental, and mental health services), food services, and work and recreational programs. |
