     statements of operations and cash flows for the three month periods ended
     March 31, 1997 and 1996, have been prepared by the Company in accordance
     with the accounting policies described in its Annual Report to
     Stockholders for the year ended December 31, 1996 and should be read in 
     conjunction with the notes thereto.

     In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal
     recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial
     positions, results of operations and changes in cash flows at March 31,
     1997 and for all periods presented have been made.

     Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
     financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
     accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.  The results of
     operations for the period ended March 31, 1997, are not necessarily
     indicative of the operating results for the full year.

2. INVESTMENT IN DIRECT FINANCING LEASES

     In January 1997, the Company purchased the fixed and movable assets of a
     correctional treatment facility in Washington, D.C. for $52,000,000, and
     agreed to make certain renovations totaling $3,850,000.  The Company has
     entered into additional agreements to manage this facility and lease it
     back to Washington, D.C. over a period of twenty years.

3.   EARNINGS PER SHARE

     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share"
     ("SFAS 128"), has been issued effective for fiscal periods ending after
     December 15, 1997.  SFAS 128 establishes standards for computing and
     presenting earnings per share.  The Company is required to adopt the
     provisions of SFAS 128 in the fourth quarter of 1997.  Under the
     standards established by SFAS 128, earnings per share is measured at two
     levels:  basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share.  Basic
     earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted
     average number of common shares outstanding during the year.  Diluted
     earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted
     average number of common shares after considering the additional dilution
     related to preferred stock, convertible debt, options and warrants.

     The following pro forma amounts represent the basic earnings per share and
     diluted earnings per share as if the Company had adopted SFAS 128 for the
     quarters presented:

             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     RISK FACTORS

     contain "forward-looking statements," within the meaning of various
     provisions of the federal securities laws, that address activities, events
     or developments that will or may occur in the future. These statements are

     of risks and uncertainties, including general economic, market or business
     conditions; opportunities (or lack thereof) that may be presented to and
     pursued by the Company; competitive actions by other companies; changes in 
     laws or regulations; and other factors as may be discussed from time to
     time in the Company's SEC reports and other filings, many of which are
     beyond the control of the Company. Accordingly, readers are cautioned not
     to place undue reliance on such forward looking statements, which speak
     only as of the date made and which the Company undertakes no obligation
     to revise to reflect events after the date made.

     RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


     REVENUES AND OPERATING EXPENSES

     Revenues for the first quarter of 1997 increased 45% over the comparable
     period of 1996.  Management revenues increased $28,302,000 or 47%, and
     transportation revenues increased $259,000 or 10%, in the first three
     months of 1997 as compared to the same period in 1996.  The increase in
     management revenues was due to a 37% increase in compensated mandays.
     During the first quarter of 1997, the Company opened six new facilities
     totaling 3,496 beds and expanded one existing facility representing 256
     beds.  The Company also realized the full period effect in the first
     quarter of 1997 of 3,835 beds brought on line over the course of 1996.
     Transportation revenues increased due to an expanded customer base and
     compensated mileage realized through the opening of two new transportation
     hubs.  In the first quarter of 1997 the Company recognized after-tax,
     development-fee income of $1,341,000 related to a contract to design,
     construct and equip a facility.

     Operating expenses for the first quarter of 1997 increased 35% over the
     comparable quarter in 1996.  This increase was due to the increased
     compensated mandays and compensated mileage that the Company realized in
     1997 as previously mentioned.  As a percentage of revenues, however,
     operating expenses declined to 70% in 1997 from 75% in 1996 as the Company
     continues to benefit from economies of scale and cost containment.

     General and administrative expenses increased 23% for the first quarter of
     1997 as compared to the comparable quarter of 1996.  The increase was due
     to the expanded activity and staffing necessary to administer the
     increased beds under management.  Even though increasing in amount,
     general and administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of revenues
     to 3.9% in 1997 from 4.6% in 1996 during the comparable period.

     Depreciation and amortization for the first quarter of 1997 increased 72%
     as compared to the comparable quarter of 1996.  This increase was due to
     the growth in total beds in facilities owned by the Company.

     Interest expense, net, decreased 63% for the first quarter of 1997 over
     the first quarter of 1996 primarily due to the fact that several
     facilities were under construction and the associated interest expense was
     capitalized during this phase of operation.







                                                                               8

     FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company's business is capital intensive in relation to the development
     of a correctional facility.  The Company's efforts to obtain contracts,
     construct additional facilities and maintain its day-to-day operations
     have required the continued acquisition of funds through borrowings and
     equity offerings.  The Company has financed these activities through the
     sale of capital stock, subordinated convertible notes and senior secured
     debt, through the issuance of taxable and tax-exempt bonds, by bank
     borrowings, and by assisting governmental agencies in the issuance of
     municipal bonds.


     Cash flow from operations for the first quarter of 1997 was $59,262,000 as
     compared to $4,067,000 in the comparable period in 1996.  The Company has
     strengthened its cash flow through its expanded business, additional focus
     on larger, more profitable facilities, the expansion of existing
     facilities where economies of scale can be realized, and the continuing
     effort of cost containment.

     The Company has a revolving credit facility with a group of banks which
     matures in September, 1999.  The credit facility provides for borrowings
     of up to $170,000,000 for general corporate purposes and letters of
     credit.  The credit facility bears interest, at the election of the
     Company, at either the bank's prime rate or a rate which is .5% above the
     applicable 30, 60, or 90 day LIBOR rate.  Interest is payable quarterly
     with respect to prime rate loans and at the expiration of the applicable
     LIBOR period with respect to LIBOR based loans.  There are no prepayment
     penalties associated with the credit facility.  The credit facility
     requires the Company, among other things, to maintain maximum leverage
     ratios and a minimum debt service coverage ratio.  The facility also
     limits certain payments and distributions. As of March 31, 1997, there was
     $78,000,000 borrowed under this facility.  Letters of credit totaling
     $63,519,000 have been issued leaving the total unused commitment at
     $28,481,000.

     The Company also has a $2,500,000 credit facility with a bank that
     provides for the issuance of letters of credit and matures in September,
     1999.  As of March 31, 1997 there were $1,568,000 in letters of credit
     issued, leaving the unused commitment at $932,000.

     The Company anticipates making cash investments in connection with
     future acquisitions and expansions.  In addition, in accordance with the
     developing trend of private prison managers toward making strategic
     financial investments in facilities, the Company plans to use a portion of
     its cash to finance start-up costs, leasehold improvements and equity
     investments in facilities, if appropriate in connection with undertaking
     new contracts. The Company believes that the cash flow from operations and
     amounts available under its credit facility will be sufficient to meet its
     capital requirements for the foreseeable future. Furthermore, management
     believes that additional resources may be available to the Company through
     a variety of other financing methods.

                                                                               9
