BI TO ASSIST PROBATION THROUGH MERGER WITH COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS CORPORATION
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------


Boulder, CO, July 17, 1996-BI Incorporated (NASDAQ/NNM:BIAC), and privately held
Community Corrections Corporation of Conyers, Georgia, today announced the 
signing of a letter of intent to merge Community Corrections Corporation (CCC) 
into BI.  CCC will receive a combination of 230,769 shares of BI's common stock 
and $3,000,000 cash in the deal. BI and CCC expect to sign a definitive merger 
agreement within the next 90 days, upon completion of successful due diligence 
and approvals by both companies' board of directors.

CCC provides locally-based probation services to approximately 28,000
misdemeanant probationers in Georgia and Tennessee. The probationers report
regularly to CCC personnel to pay court-ordered fines and probation fees.
Additionally, many probationers are required to attend training classes and
treatment programs, which are provided through Lifeline Therapeutics, a separate
service offering within CCC. CCC has generated annual revenues in excess of
$6,000,000 over the last twelve months.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics, there were a total of 3.0 
million U.S. adults serving probation sentences on December 31, 1994. 
Probation is a sanction which suspends an offender's jail sentence and 
substitutes and alternative method of supervision by designated correctional 
authorities. Currently, CCC has 185 employees serving 51 counties and 125 courts
in Georgia; 5 counties and 13 courts in Tennessee; and is negotiating with 
Alabama, South Carolina, and Florida courts to provide probationary services.

CCC's founder and President, Dr. Richard Longfellow, was Director of Probation 
for the state of Georgia from 1971 through 1983. Over the past eight years, CCC 
has distinguished itself as the dominant, quality provider of community-based
probation services to state and local government court systems.

Of the upcoming merger, Dr. Longfellow said, "The steady increase of 
individuals into the correctional system has placed added burdens on probation 
and parole departments that historically handle over 70% of all individuals in 
the system. We look forward to our relationship with BI and expanding our 
services to the entire U.S. market."

David J. Hunter, BI's President added, "The partnership between BI and CCC 
represents a significant diversification effort by BI to assist probation 
departments nationwide with community based correctional services. BI is 
prepared to put its financial, technological and human resources to work to 
help probation departments and the court system in handling their expanded 
caseloads. We can think of no better company to assist us in this effort than 
CCC."

BI Incorporated is the leading provider of electronic home arrest and jail 
management systems to corrections agencies worldwide, in response to the ever 
growing demand for corrections systems solutions.
