Item 5. Other Events.
On January 12, 1999, Youth Services International, Inc. ("YSI") and
Correctional Services Corporation ("CSC") executed a First Amendment (the
"Amendment") to the Agreement and Plan of Merger between YSI, CSC and Palm
Merger Corp. dated as of September 23, 1998 (the "Merger Agreement").
The Amendment modifies Sections 8.1.(d) and 8.1.(e) of the Merger
Agreement to extend the date triggering the right of YSI or CSC to terminate the
Merger Agreement if the other party's conditions to closing have not been
satisfied from January 31, 1999 to March 31, 1999.
The Amendment further provides that YSI and CSC may restrict
transfer of, place restrictive legends on and issue stop transfer instructions
with respect to, shares of YSI common stock and shares of CSC common stock held
by persons who are deemed "affiliates" of YSI or CSC within the meaning of Rule
145 under the Securities Act and applicable pooling-of-interests accounting
interpretations, including deemed "affiliates" of YSI who receive shares of CSC
common stock in the merger. The restrictive legends or stop transfer
instructions are intended to prevent transfers of, or reductions of risk in,
such shares except in accordance with the securities laws and, in any event,
only after financial results covering at least 30 days of combined operations of
YSI and CSC after the effective time of the merger have been published.
The Amendment also effects other changes to the Merger Agreement.
The foregoing description of and reference to the Amendment is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Amendment,
which is filed as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

This First Amendment ("Amendment") to the Agreement and Plan of
Merger dated as of September 23, 1998 (the "Merger Agreement") by and among
Youth Services International, Inc. ("YSI"), Correctional Services Corporation

WHEREAS, the parties desire to amend the Merger Agreement to

Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth
in the Merger Agreement.
1. Section 3.5. A new Section 3.5. shall be added as follows:
"3.5. ASSUMPTION OF WARRANTS.
(a) At the Effective Time, each warrant to purchase Company Common
Stock described in Section 4.2 of the Company Disclosure Schedule (each, a
"Company Warrant"), whether then exerciseable or not, without any action
on the part of the holder, shall be deemed to constitute a warrant to
acquire, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such
Company Warrant, a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equivalent to
(A) the number of Shares that could have been purchased immediately prior
to the Effective Time under such Company Warrant multiplied by (B) the
Exchange Ratio (rounded down to the nearest whole number), at a price per
share of Parent Common Stock (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal
to the exercise price per share pursuant to such Company Warrant
immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by the Exchange Ratio. At
or prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall make all necessary
arrangements with respect to the Company Warrants to permit the assumption
of the unexercised Company Warrants by Parent pursuant to this SECTION
3.5.
(b) Effective at the Effective Time, Parent shall assume each
Company Warrant. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall take all
corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of
shares of Parent Common Stock for delivery upon exercise of Company
Warrants assumed by it in accordance with this Section."
