3.  WACKENHUT CORRECTIONS CORPORATION INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

In August 1994, Wackenhut Corrections Corporation ("WCC"), a formerly wholly
owned subsidiary of the Corporation, completed an initial public offering (the
"IPO").  WCC received net proceeds of approximately  $17,626,000 from the IPO.
The Corporation has reflected amounts received in excess of its investment in
WCC, less the approximate 27% minority interest, as an increase in
additional-paid-in capital.

4.  STOCK SPLIT EFFECTED IN THE FORM OF A STOCK DIVIDEND

On October 29, 1994, the Corporation's Board of Directors, at its regular
quarterly meeting, declared a stock split to be effected in the form of a
twenty-five percent (25%) stock dividend,  payable on January 9, 1995 to
stockholders of record at the close of business on December 22, 1994. The stock
split to be effected in the form of a 25% stock dividend, is payable in Series B
common stock to holders of the Corporation's Series A and B shares.  The
accompanying financial statements have been retroactively restated to reflect
the stock  split.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

FINANCIAL CONDITION

On August 2, 1994,  Wackenhut Corrections Corporation, a subsidiary of the
Corporation ("WCC"), sold 1,900,000 shares of common stock at an offering price
of $9.00 per share in connection with its initial public offering ("IPO"). On
September 1, 1994, an additional 285,000 shares related to the overallotment
option were sold.  Net proceeds of $17,626,000 from the IPO were used to repay
bank debt and indebtedness to the Corporation which the Corporation used on
August 2, 1994 to prepay the $12,500,000 Senior Note due September 30, 2000 at a
premium of $1,344,000 before income taxes.

Reference is made to Item 7, Part II of the Corporation's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 1994 for discussion and analysis of
information pertaining to the Corporation's financial condition.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
Corporation's consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto.

CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF INCOME FOR THE THIRTEEN WEEKS :

Consolidated revenues increased $30,920,000 (18.7%) in the third quarter of 1994
compared to the same quarter last year.  The increase was principally
attributable to the Government Services Group which contributed $14,993,000 to
the increase. Australasian Correctional Management Pty., Ltd (ACM), which has
been consolidated for the first time this year, contributed $6,400,000 in
revenues during the third quarter of 1994 and WCC  recorded an increase in
construction and design revenues of $5,502,000. The Security Services Division
reported increased revenues of $11,417,000 during the third quarter of 1994
principally due to new contracts with Allied Signal and the Department of
Transportation of the State of Hawaii and an overall increase in billable guard
hours and billing rates.

Payroll and related taxes increased $15,375,000 (12.5%) and other operating
expenses increased $14,351,000 (36.2%) in the third quarter of 1994 versus the
third quarter last year.  The increase can be attributed to the increase in
revenues mentioned above and to the consolidation of ACM. Revenues derived from
ACM and the construction contracts have a larger portion of non-labor costs than
other services provided by the Corporation.

Operating income was $1,194,000 (44.7%) higher in the third quarter of 1994 than
in the same quarter in 1993. An increase in operating income of $924,000
resulted from the consolidation of ACM and the increase in construction and
design activities. In addition, the Government Services Group benefited from the
sale and discontinuation of Wackenhut Monitoring Inc. and Wackenhut Applied
Technologies Center Incorporated, which had combined operating losses of
$340,000 in the third quarter of 1993.

Equity income of foreign affiliates decreased $223,000 in the third quarter of
1994 versus 1993 as a result of the consolidation of ACM. Minority interest
expense increased $132,000, net of income taxes, due to the decrease in
ownership by the Corporation in WCC  as a result of its  IPO during the third
quarter of 1994.

Income before provision for income taxes was $929,000 (39.0%) higher in the
third quarter of 1994 versus 1993.  The effective income tax rate was lower than
the combined Federal and state corporate tax rates for both quarters of 1994 and
1993 due to targeted job tax credits, tax exempt interest income and capital
loss carryforwards.

Income before extraordinary item was $1,982,000 and $1,627,000 at the end of the
third quarter of 1994 and 1993, respectively, or an increase of $355,000
(21.8%).  In August 1994, the Corporation prepaid the remaining $12,500,000
senior note to an insurance company. This prepayment resulted in an
extraordinary charge for early extinguishment of debt in the amount of $887,000
(net of applicable income taxes). Net income decreased to $1,095,000 from
$1,627,000 in the third quarter of 1994 compared to the third quarter of 1993
due to the factors described above.

CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF INCOME FOR THE THIRTY-NINE WEEKS:

Consolidated revenues were $551,030,000 during  the first nine months of 1994 as
compared to $489,274,000 during the equivalent period in 1993, or an increase of
$61,756,000 (12.6%).  The Security Services Division of the Domestic Operations
Group contributed $33,270,000 to the increase in revenues for the nine months
ended October 2, 1994. This increase was attributable to several new national
contracts obtained in the second and third quarters of 1993 and an overall
increase in billable guard hours and billing rates. Revenues of the Government
Services Group were $21,477,000 higher in the first nine months  of 1994
compared to the same period in 1993. The consolidation of ACM in 1994
contributed $16,500,000 to the increase in revenues during the nine months ended
October 2,  1994, and construction and design services contributed $12,900,000
to the increase in revenues during the same period  in 1993.  These increases
were partially offset by a $7,818,000 decrease in revenues related to Department
of Energy business.

Payroll and related taxes increased $36,315,000 (10.0%) and other operating
expenses increased $21,810,000 (18.4%)  during the first nine months of 1994
compared to the same period in 1993.  These increases in costs resulted from the
growth of business from new security contracts,  the consolidation of ACM and
increases in construction and design expenses  incurred during 1994 as a result
of the increase in related revenues. The revenues derived from ACM and
construction contracts have a larger portion of non-labor costs than other
services provided by the Corporation.

Operating income increased to $11,108,000 from $7,477,000 for the first nine
months of 1994 compared to the same period last year, or an increase of
$3,631,000 (48.6%).  The Security Services Division was able to capitalize on
higher revenues associated with new contracts acquired during the second and
third quarters of 1993. The Government Services Group benefited from the sale
and discontinuation of non-core businesses which incurred operating losses of
$1,404,000 in the first nine months  of 1993. Operating income  increased
$2,100,000 in 1994 over the first nine months of 1993 due to the consolidation
of ACM along with the increase in construction and design activities.

Other expenses (net) amounted to $1,581,000 and $99,000 during the first nine
months ended October 2, 1994 and October 3, 1993, respectively.  The increase
during 1994  was principally due to a reduction of $1,026,000 in equity income
of foreign affiliates, which included equity income of ACM during 1993. In
addition, interest and investment income declined $453,000 in the first nine
months of 1994 due to a decrease in gains on sale of investments of the casualty
reinsurance subsidiary.

Income before provision for income taxes was $2,149,000 (29.1%) higher for the
first nine months of 1994 versus the same period in 1993.  The provision for
income taxes was lower than the combined Federal and state corporate tax rates
for both periods in 1994 and 1993 due to targeted jobs tax credits, tax exempt
interest income and capital loss carryforwards.  The effective Federal income
tax rate for 1993 was further reduced by a favorable IRS audit adjustment.

Minority interest expense, net of income taxes, increased $284,000 during the
first nine months of 1994 when compared to the same period in 1993 due to the
IPO of WCC which resulted in a decrease in ownership in the subsidiary by the
Corporation.

Net income before extraordinary item was $5,755,000 and $4,834,000 during the
first nine months of 1994 and 1993, respectively, or an increase of $921,000
(19.1%). In August 1994, the Corporation prepaid the remaining $12,500,000
Senior Note to an insurance company. This prepayment resulted in an
extraordinary charge for early extinguishment of debt in the amount of $887,000
(net of applicable income taxes). Net income decreased $34,000 during the first
nine months of 1994 compared to the same period in 1993 due to the factors
described above.
