Item 1.  Description of Business.



Corporate Structure

     Correctional  Services  Corporation  (the  "Company") was  incorporated  in
Delaware on October 28, 1993 to acquire all of the outstanding  capital stock of
a number of affiliated  corporations engaged in the operation of corrections and
detention facilities.  All references to the Company include the Company and all
wholly-owned subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.


Description

     The Company is a leading  developer and manager of privatized  correctional
and detention  facilities  in the United  States.  Through its three  divisions,
Adult, Juvenile and Community Corrections,  the Company provides a diverse range
of services to local, state, and federal governmental correctional agencies. The
Company  currently  has  agreements  to operate 16  correctional  and  detention
facilities in New York,  Florida,  Arizona,  Texas,  New Mexico and the State of
Washington.  Thirteen  of these  facilities,  with a total of  2,461  beds,  are
currently in operation,  three,  with a total of 900 beds, are anticipated to be
operational in the fourth quarter of 1997. In addition, the Company is currently
operating two facilities on an interim basis, while negotiating contracts,  with
a total of 350 beds each.  See  "Business-Recent  Events."  The  Company is also
aggressively pursuing other privatized correctional projects both at the request
for proposal ("RFP") stage and the pre-RFP development stage.

     The Company  manages both secure and non-secure  facilities.  The Company's
secure facilities  include a detention and processing center for illegal aliens,
an adult prison,  intermediate  sanction  facilities,  driving while intoxicated
("DWI") facilities,  and military-style  boot camps for juvenile offenders.  Its
non-secure   facilities  include   residential   programs,   such  as  community
correctional  facilities  for federal and state  offenders  serving the last six
months of their sentences, and non-residential supervision programs.

     In addition to  providing  fundamental  residential  services for adult and
juvenile  inmates,  the Company has developed a broad range of programs intended
to reduce  recidivism,  including basic and special  education,  substance abuse
treatment  and  counseling,  vocational  training,  life  skills  training,  and
behavioral  modification  counseling.  The  management  services  offered by the
Company range from project consulting to the design,  development and management
of new  correctional and detention  facilities and the redesign,  renovation and
management  of older  facilities.  The Company  believes  its proven  ability to
manage the full  spectrum of  correctional  facilities  and its wide  variety of
programs and services will increase its marketing opportunities.


Growth Strategy

     The  Company's  business  strategy is to enhance its  position as a leading
developer and manager of a diverse range of quality privatized  correctional and
detention facilities, and to expand its operations,  both internally and through
acquisitions,  in order to capitalize on current  growth trends in the industry.
Key elements of the Company's strategy are as follows:



     Maintaining  Quality  Facility  Operations:   The  Company  recognizes  the
importance  of  maintaining  high  quality  management  and  operations  at  its
facilities.  The Company seeks to operate all its facilities in accordance  with
the guidelines of the American Correctional  Association ("ACA"), an independent
organization  comprised of professionals in the corrections  industry,  and uses
compliance  audit  teams to  rigorously  examine  all  aspects of the  Company's
facilities  and  operations.  The Company's  senior level ethics and  compliance
officer, who reports directly to the President and Board of Directors,  provides
additional  oversight and  monitoring of facility  operations.  The Company also
promotes quality performance by its facility administrators and management


                                       3
<PAGE>



     teams and hold  Company-wide  conferences  for facility  administrators  to
exchange information and enhance performance at all its facilities.  The Company
encourages  tours  of its  facilities  for  governmental  representatives  as it
believes the quality of its operations can best be demonstrated  through on-site
visits.



     Capitalizing  on  Diversity  of  Services.  The  diversified   correctional
services  provided  by the Company  include  housing  adult  inmates or detained
persons in secure facilities,  providing  non-secure  residential and management
services  in  community  correctional  facilities  and  managing  and  operating
juvenile   offender   facilities,   both   secure  and   non-secure,   including
military-style  boot camps.  The  Company  believes  that its proven  ability to
manage the full spectrum of privatized correctional facilities will increase its
marketing  opportunities  and will be beneficial where  particular  governmental
policies favor certain types of programs or services over others.



     Enhancing Proven Programs.  In awarding management  contracts,  contracting
governmental  agencies  frequently  give  significant  weight  to the  potential
effectiveness  of the  programs  to be provided  by the  bidder.  The  Company's
programs  include basic and special  education,  substance  abuse  treatment and
counseling,  vocational  training,  job  placement,  life  skills  training  and
behavioral  modification  counseling,  all  of  which  are  intended  to  reduce
recidivism. The Company's staff of professionals seek to continually enhance and
improve these programs,  monitor resident  offender  performance and develop new
programs to address perceived needs.



     Developing  New Business  Opportunities.  The growing demand for privatized
correctional  facilities at all levels of government  has enabled the Company to
pursue more projects meeting its criteria. The Company pursues projects based on
the probability of success,  geographic location, size, potential profitability,
and political and community acceptability. This approach is intended to optimize
resource  allocation,  profitability  and  financial  return.  The  Company  (i)
currently owns a 400 bed correctional  facility in Arizona, (ii) in January 1997
signed a contract to finance,  construct, own and operate a 600 bed adult prison
in Arizona,  (iii) has agreed to fund approximately $650,000 of construction and
related costs for a juvenile boot camp in Texas and (iv) has used its capital to
renovate and improve other  facilities  which it operates.  The Company believes
its  willingness  to commit its capital to  facility  ownership  and  renovation
enhances its growth opportunities.



     Strategic  Acquisitions.   Historically,  the  Company's  growth  has  been
generated  internally,  primarily through the competitive bid process.  However,
the Company continues to evaluate strategic acquisitions,  particularly where an
acquisition  would enhance the Company's  capabilities or add to the services it
offers in the correctional  services industry.  At present,  the Company has not
entered into any agreements or commitments for an acquisition.


Market

     The  continuing  pressure to control  costs and address  increasing  inmate
populations  has generated  strong growth in the  privatization  of correctional
services.  According to the Private Adult  Correctional  Facility Census,  Ninth
Edition,  prepared by the  Private  Corrections  Project,  Center for Studies in
Criminology  & Law,  University  of  Florida,  dated March 15,  1996,  the rated
capacity of international  privatized adult secure correctional  facilities grew
from 2,620 beds in 1986 to 63,595 beds at year-end  1995 and, in a June 16, 1996
forecast  prepared  by the  Project,  is  projected  to grow to 197,503  beds by
year-end  2000.  This  population  does not  include  any  projected  growth for
privatized  juvenile  offender and community  correctional  facilities,  both of
which, the Company believes,  are also growing rapidly.  According to the United
States  Department  of  Justice,  Office of  Juvenile  Justice  and  Delinquency
Prevention,  between 1988 and 1994 juvenile  arrests for violent  crimes grew by
more than 50%.



     The Company  believes the growth in demand for privatized  correctional and
detention  facilities is being fueled by a number of factors.  First, the United
States continues to experience a shortage of correctional beds. According to the
United States Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Statistics, the number of
adult inmates housed in federal and state  facilities  increased from 487,593 at
December 31, 1985, to 1,104,074 at June 30, 1995.


                                       4
<PAGE>



     Second,  inmates convicted of violent crimes generally serve only one-third
of their  sentences,  and the public is demanding that a longer portion of their
sentences  be  served.  Third,  courts and  various  governmental  agencies  are
requiring  overcrowded  conditions  to be remedied,  outdated  facilities  to be
replaced,  and  services  to be  expanded.  As a  result  of  increasing  fiscal
pressures,  many  governmental  agencies  are turning to the  private  sector to
deliver cost-effective correctional services to address these needs.


Recent Events

     The Company,  in November 1996, took over the management of the Frio County
Jail and  Detention  facility  in  Pearsall,  Texas.  The  Company is  currently
managing  the  facility on an interim  basis and has the option to purchase  the
right to operate the facility,  under the terms of the existing  Management  and
Operations Agreement,  from the former operator. This option expires the earlier
of May 24, 1997 or 30 days after the current  outstanding  debt  associated with
the facility has been refinanced. The facility has recently received 250 inmates
from the State of Idaho under a one (1) year agreement.



     In February  1997 the Company took over the  management  of the Judge Roger
Hashem  Juvenile  Justice  Center in  Rockdale,  Texas.  The  Company  currently
operates the facility on an interim basis and has entered into negotiations with
the Milam,  Robertson and Falls  Counties  regarding a Management and Operations
Agreement. The facility has a capacity of 60 beds.



     Due to substantially  reduced  occupancy levels and operating losses at the
Company's state contracted  community-based halfway houses in New York, New York
and Fort  Worth,  Texas,  the  Company is in the  process of winding  down those
operations.


Operational Divisions


     In January 1996, the Company organized its operations into three divisions:
Adult, Juvenile and Community Corrections.



     Adult.  The Adult  Division  operates  five  secure  facilities  located in
Seattle,  Washington;  Houston,  Del Valle and  Mansfield,  Texas;  and Phoenix,
Arizona, with a total of 1,216 beds. In addition, this Division will operate the
600-bed prison to be constructed and owned by the Company in Florence,  Arizona,
anticipated to become  operational in the fourth quarter of 1997 and the 200 bed
jail located in Gallup, New Mexico.  Currently,  the Division is operating on an
interim  basis a 295 bed facility in Pearsall,  Texas.  In addition to providing
housing for adult inmates,  the Company provides a variety of rehabilitation and
educational  services intended to reduce  recidivism.  The Company also provides
health care,  transportation,  food services and work and recreational  programs
for adult inmates.



     Juvenile.  The  Juvenile  Division  operates  (or  upon  completion  of the
facility  will  operate)  seven  facilities  located (or to be  constructed)  in
Bartow, Polk City and Pahokee, Florida; and Canadian,  Mansfield, Eagle Lake and
Killeen,  Texas, for convicted youths aged 12 to 24, with a total of 1,150 beds.
The Eagle Lake facility is  anticipated  to be operational in the fourth quarter
of 1997.  In addition,  the Division is operating on an interim basis the 60-bed
Judge Roger Hashem Juvenile  Justice  Facility in Rockdale,  Texas.  The Company
manages secure and non-secure  juvenile offender facilities for low, medium, and
high risk youths in highly structured  programs,  including  military-style boot
camps, wilderness programs, secure education and training centers, and detention
facilities.  The Company believes these programs, by instilling the qualities of
self-respect, respect for others and their property, personal responsibility and
family values, can help reduce the recidivism rate of its program participants.



                                       5

     Community   Corrections.   The  Community   Corrections  Division  operates
facilities,  located in Brooklyn, Manhattan and the Bronx, New York with a total
of 195 beds.  These are  non-secure  residential  facilities  for adult male and
female  offenders   transitioning  from  institutional  to  independent  living.
Offenders  are  eligible  for  these  programs  based  upon the type of  offense
committed and behavior while incarcerated in prison. If qualified, offenders may
generally spend the last six months of their sentence in a community corrections
program,  whose mission is to reduce the  likelihood of an inmate  committing an
offense after release by assisting in the reunification  process with family and
the community.  Normally,  in order to remain in the program,  offenders must be
employed,  participate in substance  abuse  programs,  submit to frequent random
drug  testing,  and pay a  predetermined  percentage  of their  earnings  to the
government  to offset the cost of the  program.  The  Company  supervises  these
activities  and also  provides  life  skills  training,  case  management,  home
confinement  supervision and family reunification  programs at these facilities.
The  Company  believes  that  community  correctional   facilities  help  reduce
recidivism,  result in prison beds being  available  for more violent  offenders
and, in appropriate cases, represent cost-effective alternatives to prisons.


Contract Award Process

     Most governmental  procurement and purchasing  activities are controlled by
procurement  regulations  take the form of RFPs,  and most of the  Company's new
business  results from responding to these requests.  Interested  parties submit
proposals  in response to an RFP within a time period of 15 to 120 days from the
time the RFP is issued.  A typical  RFP  requires  a bidder to provide  detailed
information,  including the services to be provided by the bidder,  the bidder's
experience  and  qualifications  and the price at which the bidder is willing to
provide the services.  The Company engages independent  consultants to assist in
responding  to the RFPs.  Approximately  six to  eighteen  months  is  generally
required from the issuance of the RFP to the contract award. In some cases,  the
Company has been asked to assist governmental agencies in developing their RFPs.



     Before  responding to an RFP, the Company  researches and evaluates,  among
other  factors:  (i) the current size and growth  projections  of the  available
correctional  and detention  population;  (ii) whether or not a minimum capacity
level is guaranteed; (iii) the willingness of the contracting authority to allow
the Company to house populations of similar  classification  within the proposed
facility  for  other  governmental  agencies;  and (iv) the  willingness  of the
contracting  authority  to allow the Company to make  adjustments  in  operating
activities,  such as work force reductions in the event the actual population is
less than the contracted capacity.

     Under the RFP,  the bidder may be  required  to design and  construct a new
facility or to redesign  and renovate an existing  facility at its own cost.  In
such event, the Company's ability to obtain the contract award is dependent upon
its ability to obtain the necessary financing or fund such costs internally.



     In  addition  to  issuing  formal  RFPs,  governmental  agencies  may use a
procedure known as Purchase of Services or Requests for  Qualification  ("RFQ").
In the case of an RFQ, the requesting  agency selects a firm it believes is most
qualified to provide the necessary services and then negotiates the terms of the
contract, including the price at which the services are to be provided.

Facilities

     The Company operates both pre-disposition and  post-disposition  secure and
non-secure  correctional  and  detention  facilities  and  non-secure  community
correctional  facilities  for federal,  state and local  correctional  agencies.
Pre-disposition secure detention facilities provide secure residential detention
for individuals awaiting trial and/or the outcome of judicial  proceedings,  and
for aliens  awaiting  deportation or the  disposition  of deportation  hearings.
Post-disposition  secure facilities provide secure incarceration for individuals
who have been found  guilty of a crime by a court of law.  The Company  operates
three  types  of  post-disposition  facilities:   secure  prisons,  intermediate
sanction   facilities  and  military-style   boot  camps.   Secure  prisons  and
intermediate  sanction  facilities  provide  secure  correctional  services  for
individuals who have been found guilty of one or more offenses. Offenders placed
in intermediate  sanction  facilities are typically persons who have committed a
technical  violation of their parole  conditions,  but whose offense  history or
current  offense  does not  warrant  incarceration  in a prison.  Both  types of
facilities  offer  vocational  training,  substance  abuse treatment and offense
specific  treatment.  Boot camps provide  intensely  structured  and  regimented
residential correctional services which emphasize disciplined activities modeled
after the  training  principles  of  military  boot  camps and  stress  physical
challenges, fitness, discipline and personal appearance.



     The  Company  also  operates  non-secure  residential  and  non-residential
community  corrections programs.  Non-secure  residential  facilities,  known as
half-way houses, provide residential correctional services for offenders in need
of less  supervision and monitoring  than are provided in a secure  environment.
Offenders in community corrections facilities are typically allowed to leave the
facility   to  work  in  the   immediate   community   and/or   participate   in
community-based  educational  and vocational  training  programs  during daytime
hours.  Generally,  persons in community correctional facilities are serving the
last six months of their sentence.  Non-residential programs permit the offender
to  reside at home or in some  other  approved  setting  under  supervision  and
monitoring by the Company. Supervision may take the form of either requiring the
offender to report to a correctional  facility a specified  number of times each
week and/or having Company  employees  monitor the offender on a case management
basis at his/her work site and home.

     (1) The number of beds  under  contract  generally  is an  estimate  in the
contract  by the  contracting  government  agency  of the  number  of  offenders
expected  to be  assigned to the  facility  and not a guarantee  of a minimum or
maximum  number of  offenders  to be so assigned.  Certain  facilities  have bed
capacity in excess of the number of beds under  contract  and  therefore  may be
occupied by a greater  number of  offenders  than is  estimated  pursuant to the
contract.

     (2) A  managed  facility  is a  facility  for which  the  Company  provides
management  services  pursuant  to a  management  contract  with the  applicable
governmental  agency but, unlike a leased or owned facility,  the Company has no
property interest in the facility.  The Company has granted  NationsBank a first
priority  security  interest  in all its  assets,  including a first real estate
mortgage on the land and building of the Phoenix, Arizona facility.

     (3) This  facility is listed both as part of the Company's  Adult  Division
and its  Juvenile  Division  as the  facility  houses  both  adult and  juvenile
offenders.

     (4) Initially 64 beds; to be expanded to 96 beds.

     (5) See "Recent Events" for a discussion on the status of this facility.




                                       8

Facility Management Contracts

     Each facility is managed under an agreement with a federal,  state or local
corrections agency which provides for fixed per diem payments to the Company for
each offender  assigned to the facility or a fixed monthly payment  irrespective
of the number of offenders so assigned.  Some contracts also provide for minimum
revenue guarantees to the Company. As is standard in the industry, the Company's
contracts are  short-term,  generally one to three years,  and contain  multiple
renewal options in favor of the contracting governmental agency.





Operating Procedures

     The Company is responsible for the overall operation of each facility under
its  management,  including staff  recruitment,  general  administration  of the
facility,  security of inmates and  employees,  supervision of the offenders and
facility maintenance.  The Company,  either directly or through  subcontractors,
also provides health care (including medical,  dental and psychiatric  services)
and food  service.  Certain  facilities  also offer special  rehabilitation  and
educational  programs,  such as academic or vocational  education,  job and life
skills training, counseling, substance abuse programs, and work and recreational
programs.



     The  Company's  contracts  generally  require the  Company to operate  each
facility in accordance with all applicable local,  state and federal laws, rules
and  regulations and the standards and guidelines of the ACA The ACA establishes
guidelines  and standards by which an adult  correctional  institution  may gain
accreditation.   The  Company  believes  that  the  ACA,  which  currently  only
recommends operating guidelines for but does not accredit juvenile  correctional
facilities,  will  eventually  accredit  these  kinds  of  facilities.  The  ACA
standards,  designed to safeguard  the life,  health and safety of offenders and
personnel,   describe  specific   objectives  with  respect  to  administration,
personnel and staff training,  security,  medical and health care, food service,
inmate  supervision and physical plant  requirements.  The Company  believes the
benefits of operating its  facilities in accordance  with ACA standards  include
improved  management,  better  defense  against  lawsuits by offenders  alleging
violations  of  civil  rights,  a more  humane  environment  for  personnel  and
offenders  and  measurable  criteria for upgrading  programs,  personnel and the
physical plant on a continuous basis. The Company's Seattle INS Detention Center
and Tarrant County Community  Correctional  Facility are fully accredited by the
ACA and certain other facilities currently are being reviewed for accreditation.
The Company's  goal is to obtain and maintain ACA  accreditation  for all of its
facilities.  Mr.  Richard P. Staley,  the  Company's  Senior Vice  President and
director,  is a member of the ACA and a certified ACA standards auditor for jail
and detention facilities.


Employees

     At March 17, 1997, the Company had approximately 1,265 full-time employees,
consisting of clerical and administrative  personnel,  security personnel,  food
service  personnel  and  facility  administrators.   The  Company  believes  its
relationship with its employees is good.



     Each of the  Company's  facilities  is managed  as a separate  entity by an
experienced   facility   administrator.   Other   facility   personnel   include
administrative,  security, medical, food service, counseling, classification and
educational and vocational training  personnel.  The Company conducts background
screening checks and drug testing on potential facility  employees.  Some of the
services rendered at certain facilities,  such as medical services and education
or training, are provided by third-party contractors.


                                       9
<PAGE>



Employee Training

     All  jurisdictions  require  corrections  officers  to complete a specified
amount of training prior to employment.  In most cases,  Company  employees must
undergo  at least  160  hours of  training  before  being  allowed  to work in a
position  that will bring them in contact  with  offenders  or  detainees.  This
training  consists  of  approximately  40 hours  relating  to Company  policies,
operational  procedures  and  management  philosophy,  and 120 hours relating to
legal issues, rights of offenders and detainees, techniques of communication and
supervision,  improvement of interpersonal  skills and job training  relating to
the  specific  tasks to be held.  Each  Company  employee  having  contact  with
offenders  receives a minimum of 40 hours of additional  training each year, and
each management employee receives a minimum of 24 hours of training each year.


Insurance

     Each management contract with a governmental agency requires the Company to
maintain certain levels of insurance  coverage for general  liability,  workers'
compensation, vehicle liability and property loss or damage and to indemnify the
contracting agency for claims and costs arising out of the Company's operations.
The Company maintains  general  liability  insurance in the amount of $5,000,000
and  two  umbrella  policies  in  the  amount  of  $5,000,000  and  $20,000,000,
respectively, for itself and each of its subsidiaries. There can be no assurance
that the aggregate  amount and kinds of the Company's  insurance are adequate to
cover all risks it may incur or that  insurance will be available in the future.
In addition,  the Company is unable to secure insurance for some unique business
risks including,  but not limited to, riot and civil commotion or the acts of an
escaped offender.


Regulation

     The industry in which the Company operates is subject to federal, state and
local regulations which are administered by a variety of regulatory authorities.
Generally,  providers  of  correctional  services  must comply with a variety of
applicable federal,  state and local regulations,  including  education,  health
care and safety regulations.  Management  contracts frequently include extensive
reporting requirements.  In addition, many federal , state and local governments
are  required  to  follow  competitive  bidding  procedures  before  awarding  a
contract.  Certain jurisdictions may also require the successful bidder to award
subcontracts  on a competitive  bid basis and to subcontract to varying  degrees
with businesses owned by women or minorities.


Litigation

     The  nature  of the  Company's  business  results  in  numerous  claims  or
litigation  against  the Company  for  damages  arising  from the conduct of its
employees or others.  Under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission,
the Company is obligated to disclose  lawsuits which involve a claim for damages
in excess of 10% of its current assets  notwithstanding  the Company's belief as
to the merit of the lawsuit and the existence of adequate insurance coverage.



     In May 1993,  a former  employee  of the  Company  filed suit in the United
States  District  Court,   Southern  District  of  New  York,  claiming  he  was
intentionally  assaulted by employees of the Company and claiming  $5,000,000 in
damages on each of six causes of action.  In January  1996,  a lawsuit was filed
with the  Supreme  Court of New  York,  County of  Kings,  by a former  employee
alleging  sexual  harassment  and  discrimination,  physical  assault,  rape and
negligent  screening  of  employees  and  claiming  damages of  $4,000,000  plus
attorney fees.


     In March 1996, former inmates at one of the Company's facilities filed suit
in the  Supreme  Court of the  State of New  York,  County of Bronx on behalf of
themselves  and  others  similarly  situated,  alleging  personal  injuries  and
property damage  purportedly  caused by negligence and  intentional  acts of the
Company and claiming  $500,000,000  each for compensatory and punitive  damages,
which  suit was  transferred  to the  United  States  District  Court,  Southern
District of New York, in April 1996. In July 1996, seven detainees at one of the
Company's  facilities  (and certain of their spouses) filed suit in the Superior
Court of New Jersey, County of Union, seeking


                                       10
<PAGE>



$10,000,000  each in  damages  arising  from  alleged  mistreatment  of the
detainees,  which suit was  transferred  to the United  States  District  Court,
District of New Jersey, in August 1996.



     The Company believes the claims made in each of the foregoing actions to be
without  merit and will  vigorously  defend such  actions.  The Company  further
believes the outcome of these actions and all other current legal proceedings to
which it is a party will not have a material  adverse effect upon its results of
operations, financial condition or liquidity. However, there is an inherent risk
in any litigation and a decision adverse to the Company could be rendered.


Risks Associated with Company's Business

     Risks Associated with Internal Expansion

     The  Company's  growth is  generally  dependent  upon its ability to obtain
contracts to develop and manage new correctional and detention  facilities.  The
rate of such development  depends on a number of factors,  including crime rates
and sentencing  patterns in various  jurisdictions  and the Company's ability to
integrate new facilities into its management  structure.  Certain  jurisdictions
recently have  required the  successful  bidders to make a  significant  capital
investment in connection  with the  financing of a particular  project,  a trend
which will require the Company to have sufficient  capital resources in order to
compete effectively.  In some cases, the Company may decide to construct and own
a  facility  without a  contract  award when it  believes  there is  significant
shortage of beds and a strong likelihood it will be awarded a contract; however,
there can be no assurance that any contract will, in fact, be awarded.  Further,
there can be no assurance  that the Company will be able to obtain  contracts to
construct  and/or manage new facilities or retain existing  contracts upon their
expiration.

     Risks Associated with Acquisitions

     The  Company  intends  to  grow  through  internal  expansion  and  through
selective acquisitions.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be able
to identify, acquire or profitably manage acquired operations or that operations
acquired will be profitable or achieve levels of profitability  that justify the
related investment.  Acquisitions  involve a number of special risks,  including
possible  adverse  short-term  effects  on  the  Company's   operating  results,
diversion of  management's  attention  from  existing  business,  dependence  on
retaining,   hiring  and  training  key   personnel,   risks   associated   with
unanticipated  problems  or legal  liabilities,  and  amortization  of  acquired
intangible  assets,  any of which  could have a material  adverse  effect on the
Company's financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.

     Resistance to Privatization of Correctional and Detention Facilities

     Management of correctional and detention  facilities by private entities is
a relatively  new concept and has not  achieved  complete  acceptance  by either
governments or the public. The movement toward privatization of correctional and
detention  facilities has also encountered  resistance from certain groups, such
as labor  unions,  local  sheriff's  departments,  and groups that  believe that
correctional  and  detention  facility  operations  should only be  conducted by
governmental  agencies. In addition,  changes in the dominant political party in
any market in which the Company operates could result in significant  changes to
the previous acceptance of privatization in such market.  Further,  some sectors
of the federal  government and some state and local  governments are not legally
permitted  to  delegate  their  traditional   management   responsibilities  for
correctional and detention facilities to private companies.


                                       11
<PAGE>






     Contracts Subject to Governmental Funding

     The Company's facility management contracts are subject to either annual or
bi-annual  governmental  appropriations.  A failure by a governmental  agency to
receive such appropriations  could result in termination of the contract by such
agency or a reduction of the management fee payable to the Company. In addition,
even if funds are appropriated,  delays in payments may occur which could have a
material  adverse  effect  on the  Company's  financial  condition,  results  of
operations and liquidity. See "Business - Facility Management Contracts."


     Uncertain Occupancy Levels

     The Company is dependent upon the  governmental  agency with which it has a
management contract to provide inmates for, and maintain the occupancy level of,
the  managed  facility.  A  substantial  portion of the  Company's  revenues  is
generated  under facility  management  contracts that specify a net rate per day
per inmate ("per diem rate"), with no minimum guaranteed occupancy levels, while
most of the Company's  facilities  cost structures are relatively  fixed.  Under
such a per diem rate  structure,  a  decrease  in  occupancy  levels  may have a
material  adverse  effect  on the  Company's  financial  condition,  results  of
operations  and  liquidity.  See "Business  Facility  Management  Contracts" and
"Business-Recent Events."


Regulation

     The  industry  in which the  Company  operates  is  subject to a variety of
federal,  state and local  regulations,  including  education,  health  care and
safety  regulations,  which are administered by various regulatory  authorities.
The Company's contracts typically include extensive reporting requirements,  and
supervision  and  on-site  monitoring  by  representatives  of  the  contracting
governmental  agencies.  Corrections  officers  customarily are required to meet
certain  training  standards  and, in some  instances,  facility  personnel  are
required  to be  licensed  and  subject  to  background  investigation.  Certain
jurisdictions  also require the Company to award  subcontracts  on a competitive
basis or to subcontract with businesses owned by members of minority groups. The
failure to comply with any applicable laws, rules or regulations and the loss of
any  required  license  could have a material  adverse  effect on the  Company's
financial condition,  results of operations and liquidity.  Further, current and
future  operations of the Company may be subject to  additional  regulation as a
result of new statues and regulations or changes in the manner in which existing
statutes and regulations are or may be interpreted or applied,  which could have
a material  adverse  effect on the  Company's  financial  condition,  results of
operations and liquidity.


Competition

     The Company  competes  on the basis of cost,  quality and range of services
offered, its experience in managing facilities,  the reputation of its personnel
and its ability to design,  finance and  construct new  facilities.  Some of the
Company's  competitors  have greater  resources than the Company.  There are few
barriers for companies  seeking to enter into the management of  correctional or
detention  facilities.  The Company  also  competes in some  markets  with local
companies that may have a better  understanding of local conditions and a better
ability to gain  political  and public  acceptance.  In addition,  the Company's
Community  Corrections  and Juvenile  Divisions  compete with  governmental  and
not-for-profit entities.


Item 2.  Description of Property.


Brooklyn, New York Lease

     The Company leases this building,  located at 988 Myrtle Avenue,  Brooklyn,
New York, from Myrtle Avenue Family Center,  Inc.  ("MAFC")  pursuant to a lease
which commenced January 1, 1994 and expires


                                       12
<PAGE>



December 31, 1998.  The lease  establishes a monthly  rental of $40,000 and
contains  three  five-year  renewal  options.  The monthly  rental for the first
option  period,  which runs from January 1, 1999 through  December 31, 2003,  is
$40,000.  The  monthly  rental for the  second  option  period,  which runs from
January 1, 2004 through  December 31, 2008, is $45,000,  and the monthly  rental
for the third option  period,  which runs from January 1, 2009 through  December
31, 2013, is $50,000. In addition,  the Company pays taxes,  insurance,  repairs
and  maintenance  on the building.  MAFC is a  corporation  owned by Esther Horn
(27.5%),  James  F.  Slattery  (8%)  and  Aaron  Speisman  (27.5%),  significant
stockholders of the Company.  The terms of the lease were not negotiated at arms
length due to their relationship with both the Company and MAFC.

Bronx, New York Lease

     The Company leases a building  located at 2534 Creston Avenue,  Bronx,  New
York from Creston Realty Associates,  L.P. ("CRA"), which is owned 10% by Esther
Horn, a significant  stockholder  of the  Company..  The lease term is two years
commencing October 1, 1996 and has three additional one year option periods. The
Company  also pays a base rent of  $180,000  per year which will  escalate  five
percent per year for each of the three year options if they are  exercised.  The
Company pays taxes,  insurance,  repairs and  maintenance on this building which
will be used to house a community  correctional  center. The terms of this lease
were not negotiated at arms length due to the relationship  between the Company,
Ms.  Horn and  CRA.  However,  pursuant  to the  terms  of a Board of  Directors
resolution adopted in connection with the Company's initial public offering, all
transactions  between  the  Company  and  any  of  its  officers,  directors  or
affiliates (except for wholly-owned subsidiaries) must be approved by a majority
of the  unaffiliated  members of the Board of Directors  and be on terms no less
favorable to the Company than could be obtained from unaffiliated  third parties
and be in connection with bona fide business purposes of the Company.

Manhattan, New York Lease

     The Company  subleases the building located at 12-16 East 31st Street,  New
York, New York as well as an annex located at 11 East 30th Street, New York, New
York from LeMarquis  Operating Corp.  ("LMOC").  The Company currently  utilizes
approximately  fifty  percent of the  building  for the  LeMarquis  Correctional
Center  and  for  the  New  York  Community  Correctional  Program.  LMOC  is  a
corporation  owned 25% by Ms.  Horn and 8% by Mr.  Slattery.  LMOC  leases  this
building  from an  unaffiliated  party  at a  current  base  monthly  rental  of
approximately  $15,456 (the "Base  Rent"),  plus taxes and other  charges in the
approximate   current   amount  of  $17,346  for  a  total  monthly   rental  of
approximately  $32,802. The Company has the right to use as much of the building
as it requires  for its  business  subject to the rights of certain  residential
subtenants to remain in the building.  These rights include the right to housing
at a predetermined  rental for an indefinite period of time pursuant to New York
State rent stabilization laws.

     The  Company  pays rent of $18,000 per month above the rent paid by LMOC to
the  building's  owner for a total monthly rent of  approximately  $50,802.  The
Company has, to date, invested $690,000 in leasehold  improvements.  The Company
will not receive any credit,  in terms of a reduction in rent or otherwise,  for
these improvements. The initial term of the Company's sublease expired April 30,
1995 and is in its first  renewal  period  which  expires  April 30,  2000.  The
sublease  contains two additional  five-year  renewal  options  beginning May 1,
2000. The monthly rent above the rent paid by LMOC to the building's  owner will
increase to $22,000 per month during the second  renewal term  beginning  May 1,
2000 and to $26,000 per month  during the third  renewal term  beginning  May 1,
2005. In 1994,  the Company paid $40,000 to LMOC for the renewal  options.  This
option payment was separately  negotiated  between the Board of Directors of the
Company and LMOC. Mr. Slattery participated in such negotiations.


Fort Worth, Texas Lease

     The Company leases the facility located at 600 North Henderson Street, Fort
Worth,  Texas from an unaffiliated  party at a monthly rental of $10,200 for the
period May 16, 1994  through May 15,  1996;  $10,400 for the period May 16, 1996
through May 15,  1997;  $10,815.20  for the period May 16, 1997  through May 15,
1998;  and  $11,252.97  for the period May 16, 1998 through April 15, 1999.  The
lease for these premises  commenced May 16, 1994 and expires April 15, 1999. The
lease  contains three renewal  options.  The term of the first renewal option is
for three years and the second and third renewal options are for two years.  The
Company's rent is to


                                       13

increase four percent per annum during each year of the renewal term.



Executive Office Leases

     The Company  leases  approximately  6,400 square feet of  executive  office
space located at 1819 Main Street, Sarasota,  Florida from an unaffiliated party
at a base  monthly  rental of $8,278.29  for the period  October 1, 1995 through
September 30, 1996;  $8,812.38 for the period October 1, 1996 through  September
30, 1997;  $9,346.46 for the period October 1, 1997 through  September 30, 1998;

for the period  October 1, 1999 through  September 30, 2000.  The lease does not
contain any renewal  options.  On March 1, 1997 the Company entered into a lease
amendment for approximately 1,399 square feet in its existing executive offices.
The lease  amendment  calls for an additional  base rental of $1,924 with annual
increases  of  approximately  $100  per  month on each  October  1st  until  the
expiration of the lease amendment on September 30, 2000.

     The Company also leases an office at 9603 Gayton Road,  Richmond,  Virginia
from an unaffiliated party at a current base monthly rental of $1,661. The lease
for these  premises,  which  commenced June 10, 1995,  expires May 31, 1998. The
base monthly rent  payable by the Company  under this lease is to increase  five
(5) percent per year during the term of the lease.

Item 6.   Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.

     Revenues  generated  under  federal,  state  and  local  government  agency
contracts for the management of  correctional  and detention  facilities are the
Company's principal source of income. Certain contracts are based on a fixed per
diem rate per offender,  some of which have guaranteed minimum payments;  others
provide  for fixed  monthly  rates  irrespective  of the  number  of  offenders.
Contracts typically are short-term ranging from one to three years, with renewal
options in favor of the governmental  agency,  thereby subjecting the Company to
the attendant risks.

     The Company pays all costs of operating the managed facilities, except rent
in the case of government-owned  facilities.  The Company's primary expenses are
categorized as operating, general,  administrative and interest expenses, net of
interest income. Operating expenses consist of payroll (employee salaries, wages
and fringe  benefits,  and payroll  taxes) and resident  expenses (food service,
medical   services,   supplies  and  maintenance   and  repairs).   General  and
administrative expenses include rent, utilities,  insurance,  professional fees,
travel, lodging depreciation and amortization.



     The Company usually incurs  development costs, which may range from $50,000
to $200,000,  in  responding  to a  governmental  agency RFP. Such costs include
planning  and  developing  the project,  preparing  the bid proposal and travel,
legal and consulting fees. If management  believes the recovery of such costs is
probable, the costs are

                                       15

<PAGE>



deferred until the anticipated contract has been awarded, at which time the
deferred  costs are  amortized  on a  straight-line  basis  over the term of the
contract  (including  option periods not to exceed five (5) years).  Development
costs of  unsuccessful  or  abandoned  bids are  expensed.  The time period from
incurring  initial  development  costs  on a  project  to  the  commencement  of
operations ranges from six to eighteen months.



     After a contract has been awarded,  the Company incurs  start-up costs from
the date of the award until  commencement of operations.  Start-up costs include
recruitment,  training and travel of personnel and certain legal costs,  and are
capitalized until operations commence, at which time such costs are amortized on
a straight-line  basis over the term of the contract  (including  option periods
not to exceed five (5) years).  Revenues  generated  during this initial  period
under per diem contracts increase as the offender population increases.

Year ended December 31, 1996 Compared to Year ended December 31, 1995

     Revenue increased slightly from $31,490,026 for the year ended December 31,
1995 to $31,501,658 for the year ended December 31, 1996. A full year's revenues
in 1996  generated by the Canadian,  Texas  facility  which began  operations in
April,  1995 and the Bartow,  Florida  facility  which began  operations in July
1995, as well as revenues generated by the Phoenix, Arizona facility which began
operation  in  April  1996,  were  offset  by  the  loss  in  revenues  stemming
principally  from  the  discontinuance  of  the  Company's   operations  at  its
Elizabeth, New Jersey INS facility on June 18, 1995 and lower occupancy rates at
the  Company's  Fort  Worth,  Houston,   Texas  and  New  York  State  Community
Corrections facilities.

     Operating  expenses  increased  11.1% from  $19,731,797  for the year ended
December 31, 1995 to $21,928,329  for the year ended December 31, 1996 primarily
due to increases in payroll which increased  $1,839,967 or 15.1%.  These changes
resulted  primarily  from the opening of the  facilities  noted  above,  and the
addition of  management  personnel in the corporate  office.  As a percentage of
revenues,  operating  expenses  increased from 62.7% for the year ended December
31, 1995 to 69.6% for the year ended December 31, 1996.

     General and administrative expenses decreased 12.9% from $9,938,344 for the
year ended December 31, 1995 to $8,655,628 for the year ended December 31, 1996.
The decline in general and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to
the  closure of the  Elizabeth,  New Jersey INS  facility  in June,  1995.  As a
percentage


                                       16
<PAGE>



of revenues,  general and administrative  expenses were 31.6% and 27.5% for
the years  ended  December  31,  1995 and 1996  respectively.  In  addition,  at
December 31, 1995 and 1996,  the Company  wrote-off  $3,909,700  and  $3,329,000
respectively  in  facility  closure  costs for its  Elizabeth,  New  Jersey  INS
facility  (1995)  and for its Fort  Worth,  Texas and New York  State  Community
Corrections  programs (1996).  In each year, the Company wrote-off fixed assets,
development  and start-up costs and other costs  associated  with the closure of
each program.

     The  operating  losses  for the  1995  and 1996  years  of  $2,089,815  and
$2,411,299  respectively  are  attributable  principally to the above  mentioned
facility closure costs.

     Interest  expense net of interest income  decreased 31.1% from $699,576 for
the year ended  December  31, 1995 to $481,728  for the year ended  December 31,
1996.  This  decrease  resulted  primarily  from  utilizing a portion of the net
proceeds  received  from the September  1996 public  offering of Common Stock to
repay bank indebtedness  which reduced interest expense,  and from investing the
balance of the net proceeds in cash equivalents which increased interest income.

     The income tax benefits of $1,050,000 and $1,025,000  respectively  for the
years 1995 and 1996 result  principally from the utilization of operating losses
sustained in each year.  The  effective  tax rate was 37.6% in 1995 and 35.4% in
1996.

     As a  result  of the  foregoing  factors,  the  Company  had a net  loss of
$1,739,391 or $0.38 per share for the year ended December 31, 1995 compared to a
net loss of $1,868,027 or $0.32 per share for the year ended December 31, 1996.



Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The  Company has  historically  financed  its  operations  through  private
placements and public sales of its  securities,  cash generated from  operations
and borrowings from banks.  The company had working capital at December 31, 1996
of $23,560,360, an increase of $19,020,264 from the Company's working capital at
December 31, 1995, which is principally  attributable to funds received from the
September 1996 public  offering of its Common Stock noted below in the financing
section. The Company's current ratio increased to 5.83 to 1 at December 31, 1996
from 1.95 to 1 at December 31, 1995.

     Approximately $15.8 million of the net proceeds of the public offering have
been allocated to fund construction,  start-up and related costs with respect to
two 350-bed  detention  facilities in Florida ($3.0 million in start-up),  which
became  operational  in  December  1996 and  January  1997,  and two  facilities
scheduled  to become  operational  in the  fourth  quarter of 1997 for which the
projected costs to the Company are estimated at $12.8 million.

     Net cash provided by operating activities was $1,022,759 for the year ended
December  31, 1996 as compared to  $3,226,138  for the year ended  December  31,
1995.  The  decrease  was  attributed  primarily  to  an  increase  in  accounts
receivable  and  other  current  assets.  Net  cash of  $9,585,473  was  used in
investing  activities  during the year ended  December  31,  1996 as a result of
fixed asset  acquisition  costs of $6,018,195,  the majority of which related to
the Phoenix,  Arizona facility and $4,317,276 in additional deferred development
and start-up costs  principally  for Phoenix,  Arizona and the Polk and Pahokee,
Florida  projects,  as  compared  to net cash of  $8,684,961  used in  investing
activities for the year ended  December 31, 1995.  Net cash of  $25,738,276  was
provided by financing activities in the year ended December 31, 1996 as compared
to $8,907,125 in the year ended December 31, 1995. The principal  source of such
funds for the year ended  December  31,  1996 was the public  offering of Common
Stock  and for the year  ended  December  31,  1995  the  private  placement  of
subordinated debt, warrants and Common Stock (see below).

     On September 12, 1996 the Company  completed a public offering of 2,450,000
shares of Common Stock at $13.625 per share.  Of the 2,450,000  shares of Common
Stock offered,  2,070,000 were sold by the Company and 380,000 shares by certain
stockholders.  The Company did not receive any proceeds  from the shares sold by
the  stockholders.  The net  proceeds  received by the Company  after  deducting
applicable issuance costs and expenses aggregated $25,938,514.  The net proceeds
were used to repay  short-term and long-term bank  indebtedness in the amount of
$7,198,468 and will be used to finance construction,  start-up and related costs
of two Florida facilities,  other facilities and for general corporate purposes,
including  the  financing  of working  capital  needs.  Also,  in October,  1996
pursuant  to the  underwriters'  over-allotment  option,  the  Company  sold  an
addition  367,500  shares  of  Common  Stock,  which  aggregated  an  additional
$4,569,542 in net proceeds.

     Effective  December  31,  1995,  the Company  entered  into an  $11,000,000
Revolving   Credit  and  Term  Loan  Agreement  (the  "Loan   Agreement")   with
NationsBank, N.A. ("NationsBank").  Pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement,
the Company,  from time to time,  may borrow up to the lesser of  $6,000,000  or
85.0% of the Company's  eligible  accounts  receivable.  Loan proceeds are to be
used for working capital,  including deferred  development and start-up costs in
connection  with new or existing  facilities.  Interest on the revolving  credit
loan is computed, at the Company's option, at either NationsBank prime rate plus
0.75%  or the  London  International  Bank  rate  plus  3.35%.  Under  the  Loan
Agreement, NationsBank also made a term loan at an interest rate of 8.92% to the
Company in the principal  amount of  $5,000,000,  which was applied to repay the
Company's indebtedness of $5,002,869 to another bank.

     The short-term and long-term bank loans were repaid in September 1996, with
a portion of the proceeds received from the public offering. After September 30,
1996, the interest rate payable under the revolving credit loan will be based on
the Company's financial performance set forth in the Loan Agreement. The Company
may prepay any borrowings  without interest or penalty.  The Company has granted
NationsBank the first priority security interest in all of its assets, including
a first real estate  mortgage on the land and building of the  Phoenix,  Arizona
facility. The Company is required to pay NationsBank 0.25% of the average unused
portion of the revolving credit loan.

     During the year ended  December 31, 1995,  the Company  completed a private
placement of 5,676.6 units at $1,000 per unit, each unit consisting of (i) a ten
percent (10.0%) subordinated  promissory note due July 1, 1998, in the principal
amount of $1,000,  and (ii) four year  warrants to purchase 154 shares of Common
Stock at $7.75 per share. The Company received gross proceeds of $5,676,600 from
the sale of the  units of which  $365,000  was  attributed  to the  value of the
warrants.

     During such period,  the Company also  completed  the private  placement of
496,807 shares of Common Stock at $7.75 per share,  receiving  gross proceeds of
$3,850,254.  Approximately  $8,500,000 of the proceeds of the two placements was
used to finance costs  associated with the Company's  Phoenix,  Arizona facility
and the balance for expenses  related to the private  placements and for working
capital.

     The Company received from the exercise of stock options and warrants during
the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 $426,890 and $33,320 respectively.

Options-Other Options."

     In October  1989, a subsidiary  of the Company,  entered into an employment
agreement with William Banks.  Under this  agreement,  Mr. Banks was responsible
for developing and implementing  community  relations  projects on behalf of the
Company and for acting as a liaison  between the Company and local community and
civic groups who may have concerns about Company's  facilities being established
in their communities,  and with government officials throughout the State of New
York.  As  compensation,  Mr.  Banks  received 3% of the gross  revenue from all
Federal Bureau of Prisons,  state and local correctional agency contracts within
the State of New York with a guaranteed  minimum  monthly  income of $4,500.  In
December  1993,  Mr. Banks agreed to become a consultant to the Company upon the
same terms and conditions in order to accurately reflect the level and nature of
the services he  provided.  In 1995 and 1996,  Mr.  Banks  earned  approximately

     Stock Options

     1993 Stock Option Plan

     Under the 1993 Stock Option Plan (the "1993 Plan") 500,000 shares of Common
Stock are reserved for issuance  upon  exercise of options  designated as either
(i) incentive stock options ("ISOs") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code") or (ii)  non-qualified  options.  Under the 1993 Plan, ISOs
may be granted to  employees  and  officers  of the  Company  and  non-qualified
options  may be  granted  to  consultants,  directors  (whether  or not they are
employees), employees or officers of the Company.

     The 1993 Plan is administered by the Company's Stock Option Committee which
determines the persons to whom options will be granted,  the number of shares to
be covered by each option, whether the options granted are intended to be ISO's,
the rate of exercise of each option,  the option  purchase price per share,  the
manner of exercise,  the form of payment upon exercise, and whether restrictions
such as repurchase  rights are to be imposed on the shares  following  exercise.
Options  granted  under the 1933 Plan  expire five years after the date of grant
and may not be granted at a price less than the fair market  value of the Common
Stock on the date of grant (or 110% of fair market  value in the case of persons
holding 10% or more of the voting  stock of the  Company).  The  aggregate  fair
market value of shares for which ISOs  granted to any  employee are  exercisable
for the first time by such  employee  during any calendar  year (under all stock
option  plans  of the  Company  and any  related  corporation)  may  not  exceed
$100,000.  No options  may be granted  under the 1993 Plan after  October  2003;
however,  options  granted  under the 1993 Plan prior  thereto may extend beyond
that date.  Options granted under the 1993 Plan are not  transferable  during an
optionee's  lifetime  but are  transferable  at  death by will or by the laws of
descent and distribution.

     During fiscal 1994 and 1995, options to purchase 225,313 and 54,375 shares,
respectively,  were granted under the 1993 Plan at exercise  prices ranging from
$4.76 to $20.63 per share.  In 1996,  options to  purchase  50,700  shares  were
granted under the 1993 Plan at exercise prices ranging from $8.875 to $15.25 per
share.

     Item 12. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

     The Company  subleases a building  located at 12-16 East 31st  Street,  New
York, New York from LeMarquis Operating Corp.  ("LMOC"), a corporation owned 25%
by Ester  Horn  and 8% by James F.  Slattery.  The  Company  currently  utilizes
approximately  fifty  percent  of  the  building  for  the  Manhattan  Community
Corrections and the New York Community  Corrections  programs.  LMOC leases this
building  from an  unaffiliated  party  at a  current  base  monthly  rental  of
approximately  $15,456 (the "Base Rent"),  plus taxes,  currently  approximately
$14,000,  and water and sewer charges,  currently  approximately  $3,500,  for a
total monthly rental of approximately  $33,000. The Company has the right to use
as much of the building as it requires for its business subject to the rights of
certain residential  subtenants to remain in the building.  These rights include
the right to housing at a predetermined  rental for an indefinite period of time
pursuant to New York State rent stabilization laws.

     As a result of the lease negotiations, under a sublease dated as of January
1, 1994, since May 1, 1995, the Company has paid rent of $18,000 per month above
the  rent  paid by LMOC to the  building's  owner  for a total  monthly  rent of
approximately  $50,802;  prior to May 1, 1995 and under  the  prior  lease,  the
Company  paid  rent of  $10,000  per  month  above  the rent paid by LMOC to the
building  owner.  The Company  has,  to date,  invested  $690,000  in  leasehold
improvements and will not receive any credit, in terms of a reduction in rent or
otherwise,  for  these  improvements.  The  terms  of  this  sublease  were  not
negotiated at arm's length due to the relationship of Mrs. Horn and Mr. Slattery
with both the Company and LMOC. The  negotiation of the sublease,  including the
renewal terms,  was requested by the  Representative  of the Underwriters of the
Company's  February 2, 1994 initial public offering to  substantially  track the
renewal terms of the Company's  management  contract.  The negotiations were not
subject  to the  board  resolution,  adopted  subsequent  to  the  negotiations,
relating to affiliated transactions,  although the terms were approved by all of
the  directors.  The initial term of the  Company's  sublease  expired April 30,
1995,  and is currently in its first renewal term expiring  April 30, 2000.  The
sublease contains two additional  successive five-year renewal options beginning
May 1, 2000.  The  monthly  rent  above the rent paid by LMOC to the  building's
owner  will  increase  to $22,000  per month  during  the  second  renewal  term
beginning  May 1, 2000 and to $26,000 per month  during the third  renewal  term
beginning May 1, 2005. The Company paid $40,000 to LMOC for the renewal options.
These renewal options were separately  negotiated between the Board of Directors
of the Company and LMOC. Mr. Slattery  participated in such  negotiations.  Mrs.
Horn and Mr. Slattery will receive their proportionate  shares of rents received
by LMOC under the terms of this sublease.

     Previously,  residential and commercial tenants of the building paid annual
rent of approximately $300,000 to LeMarquis Enterprise Corp. ("Enterprises"),  a
company owned 30% by Mrs. Horn, 28% by Mr. Slattery and 25% by Mr. Speisman, and
Enterprises  paid all  expenses of  operating  the  residential  and  commercial
portions of the  building  as well as a portion of the  overall  expenses of the
building.  The  Company  paid any cash  flow  deficiency  to  Enterprises.  This
arrangement  terminated in February 1994,  and all of the  building's  revenues,
including rent from the residential and commercial tenants, are now received and
expenses paid by the Company.  The revenue from this portion of the building was
approximately  $210,000 in 1994 and  $205,000 in 1995.  The Company  anticipates
that  operating  the  portion  of  the  building  occupied  by  residential  and
commercial  tenants will result in a net expense to the Company of approximately
$25,000  per month.  Due to New York rent  stabilization  laws,  the  Company is
unable to increase the rent paid by the residential  tenants in this building in
response to increased rent or expenses incurred by the Company.

     The  Company  leases the  entire  building  located  at 988 Myrtle  Avenue,
Brooklyn, New York from Myrtle Avenue Family Center, Inc. ("MAFC") pursuant to a
lease which commenced  January 1, 1994 and expires  December 31, 1998. The lease
establishes a monthly  rental of $40,000 and contains  three  five-year  renewal
options. The monthly rental for the first option period, which runs from January
1, 1999 through December 31, 2003, is $40,000. The monthly rental for the second
option  period,  which runs from January 1, 2004 through  December 31, 2008,  is
$45,000,  and the monthly  rental for the third option  period,  which runs from
January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2013, is $50,000. In addition,  the Company
pays taxes,  insurance,  repairs and  maintenance  on this  building.  MAFC is a
corporation  owned by Mrs.  Horn (27.5%) and Messrs.  Slattery (8%) and Speisman
(27.5%). The terms of the lease were not negotiated at arm's length due to their
relationship  with  MAFC  and  the  Company.   Messrs.   Slattery  and  Speisman
participated in such negotiations.

     The Company leases a building  located at 2534 Creston Avenue,  Bronx,  New
York from Creston Realty Associates,  L.P. ("CRA"), the corporation owned 10% by
Ester Horn. The lease term is two years commencing October 1, 1996 and has three
additional  one year  option  periods.  The  Company  also  pays a base  rent of
$180,000  per year which will  escalate  five  percent  per year for each of the
three year options if they are  exercised.  The Company  pays taxes,  insurance,
repairs and maintenance on this building which will be used to house a community
correctional  center. The terms of this lease were not negotiated at arms length
due to the relationship between the Company, Ms. Horn and CRA.

     Pursuant  to the  terms  of a Board  of  Directors  resolution  adopted  in
connection with the Company's initial public offering,  all transactions between
the  Company  and any of its  officers,  directors  or  affiliates  (except  for
wholly-owned  subsidiaries)  must be approved by a majority of the  unaffiliated
members  of the  Board of  Directors  and be on terms no less  favorable  to the
Company  than  could be  obtained  from  unaffiliated  third  parties  and be in
connection  with bona fide  business  purposes of the Company.  In the event the
Company makes a loan to an individual affiliate (other than a short-term advance
for  travel,   business  expense,   relocation  or  similar  ordinary  operating
expenditure),  such loan must be  approved  by a  majority  of the  unaffiliated
directors.

     Stuart M. Gerson, a director of the Company,  is a member of Epstein Becker
& Green,  P.C., a law firm which  represented the Company on certain matters and
which is  representing  the Company in connection  with this offering.  In April
1996, in consideration for certain consulting services,  the Company granted Mr.
Gerson  options  to  purchase  a total of 15,000  shares  of Common  Stock at an
exercise  price of $8.75 per share,  the fair market  value of the shares on the
date of grant.  The options,  which were not granted pursuant to either the 1993
Plan or the Directors Plan are  non-qualified  options under the Code,  vest 50%
one year from the date of grant and the remaining 50% two years from the date of
grant. See "Legal Matters."

               REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS



Board of Directors
Correction Services Corporation


     We  have  audited  the   accompanying   consolidated   balance   sheets  of
Correctional  Services  Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and
1995,  and the related  consolidated  statements  of  operations,  stockholders'
equity and cash flows for the years then ended.  These financial  statements are
the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

     We conducted  our audits in accordance  with  generally  accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe  that our audits of the  financial  statements  provide a  reasonable
basis for our opinion.

     In our opinion,  the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material  respects,  the consolidated  financial position of Correctional
Services  Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the
consolidated  results of their operations and their  consolidated cash flows for
the  years  then  ended,  in  conformity  with  generally  accepted   accounting
principles.

               CORRECTIONAL SERVICES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           December 31, 1996 and 1995


     NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Correctional   Services   Corporation  and  Subsidiaries   (formerly  Esmor
Correctional  Services,  Inc.)  operate and manage  detention  and  correctional
facilities for Federal,  state and local government agencies. On August 1, 1996,
the Company's Certificate of Incorporation was amended which changed the name of
the Company to  Correctional  Services  Corporation  and increased the number of
authorized shares of Common Stock from 10,000,000 to 30,000,000 shares.

1.       Principles of Consolidation

     The consolidated  financial statements include the accounts of Correctional
Services   Corporation  and  its   wholly-owned   subsidiaries,   Esmor,   Inc.,
Correctional  Services  Management,  Inc., Esmor Brooklyn,  Inc., Esmor Seattle,
Inc., Esmor Manhattan,  Inc., Esmor Mansfield,  Inc., Esmor Houston, Inc., Esmor
New Jersey, Inc., Esmor Ft. Worth, Inc., Esmor Canadian,  Inc. and Esmor Travis,
Inc.  (collectively  the  "Company"  or  the  "  companies").   All  significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.  As of December 31,
1996 all of the  aforementioned  subsidiaries  (except Esmor, Inc. and Esmor New
Jersey, Inc.) were merged into the parent company.

2.       Revenue Recognition

     Revenue is  recognized  at the time the service is  provided.  Revenues are
principally derived from government agencies.  The Company's accounts receivable
balance is  considered  fully  collectible  based on historical  experience  and
management's current evaluation. Accordingly, no allowance for doubtful accounts
has been provided in the accompanying financial statements.

3.       Building, Equipment and Leasehold Improvements

     Building,  equipment  and  leasehold  improvements  are  carried  at  cost.
Depreciation  of buildings  are  computed  under the  straight-line  method over
twenty and thirty year periods.  Depreciation of equipment is computed under the
straight-line method over a five-year period.  Leasehold  improvements are being
amortized over the shorter of the life of the asset or the applicable lease term
(ranging from five to ten years).

                           December 31, 1996 and 1995


     NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (Continued)

4.       Deferred Development and Start-up Costs

     Deferred development costs consist of costs that can be directly associated
with a  specific  anticipated  contract  and,  if the  recoverability  from that
contract is probable,  they are deferred until the anticipated contract has been
awarded.  At the  commencement  of  operations  of the  facility,  the  deferred
development costs are amortized over the life of the contract  (including option
periods) as development expense but not to exceed 5 years. Costs of unsuccessful
or  abandoned  contracts  are  charged to expense  when  their  recovery  is not
considered  probable.  Facility start-up costs are incurred (after a contract is
awarded) in connection  with the opening of new  facilities  under the contract.
These costs,  which are required  under the  contract,  are  capitalized  to the
extent recoverable from the date of award until  commencement of operations,  at
which time they are amortized on a straight-line  basis over the term (including
option periods) of the government contracts not to exceed five years.

5.       Income Taxes

     The  Company  utilizes  an  asset  and  liability  approach  for  financial
accounting and reporting for income taxes. The primary  objectives of accounting
for income taxes are to (a)  recognize the amount of tax payable for the current
year and (b)  recognize  the amount of deferred tax  liability or asset based on
management's  assessment  of the tax  consequences  of  events  that  have  been
reflected in the Company's consolidated financial statements.

6.       Loss Per Share

     The  computation  of net loss per common  share is based upon the  weighted
average  number of common  shares  outstanding  during  the year.  Common  stock
equivalents  (stock  options and warrants) were not included for the years ended
December 31, 1995 and 1996, as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

7.       Cash and Cash Equivalents

     The Company  considers all highly liquid debt  instruments  purchased  with
original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

     Restricted cash of $750,000 at December 31, 1995 represented  payments made
in 1996 to the contractor for the completion of the Phoenix, Arizona facility.

     NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (Continued)

8.       Reclassifications

     Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1995 balances to conform to
the  1996  presentation.  In  addition,  certain  construction  costs  initially
classified as deferred  development  costs have been  reclassified to buildings,
equipment and leasehold improvements as of December 31, 1995.

9.       Use of Estimates in Consolidated Financial Statements

     In preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles,  management makes estimates and assumptions that
affect the  reported  amounts  of assets  and  liabilities  and  disclosures  of
contingent  assets and  liabilities  at the date of the  consolidated  financial
statements,  as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting  period.  Actual  results  could  differ  from  those  estimates.  For
discussion of the realization of Receivable from Sale of Equipment and Leasehold
Improvements and costs  pertaining to the New York and Fort Worth closures.  see
Note L.

10.      Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
         Assets to be Disposed Of

     On January 1, 1996, the Company adopted  Statement of Financial  Accounting
Standards No. 121  "Accounting  for the Impairment of Long-Lived  Assets and for
Long-Lived  Assets to be Disposed Of" ("SFAS No.  121").  The standards for SFAS
No. 121 require  that the Company  recognize  and measure  impairment  losses of
long-lived assets and certain  identifiable  intangibles and to value long-lived
assets to be disposed of. The primary  objectives  under SFAS No. 121 are to (a)
recognize  an  impairment  loss  of an  asset  whenever  events  or  changes  in
circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable or (b) if
planning to dispose of long-lived  assets or certain  identifiable  intangibles,
such  assets  have  been  reflected  in  the  Company's  consolidated  financial
statements at the net asset value less cost to sell. The effect of adopting SFAS
121 was not considered material to the consolidated financial statements.

     NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (Continued)

11.      Stock Based Compensation

     In October 1995, the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board issued SFAS No.
123,  "Accounting  for Stock-Based  Compensation.  With respect to stock options
granted to  employees,  SFAS No. 123 permits  companies  to  continue  using the
accounting method promulgated by the Accounting  Principles Board Opinion No. 25
("APB  No.  25"),  "Accounting  for  Stock  Issued  to  Employees,"  to  measure
compensation or to adopt the fair value based method prescribed by SFAS No. 123.
Management  has not adopted SFAS No.  123's  accounting  recognition  provisions
related to stock  options  granted to employees and  accordingly,  will continue
following APB No. 25's accounting provisions. All other requirements of SFAS No.
123 were implemented on January 1, 1996.

     NOTE B - CONTRACTUAL AGREEMENTS WITH GOVERNMENT AGENCIES

     The Company currently operates fifteen secure and non-secure corrections or
detention  programs  in the  states of  Arizona,  Florida,  New York,  Texas and
Washington for Federal,  state and local  government  agencies  exclusive of two
programs which are expected to close in 1997 and for which a write-down has been
provided for the year ended December 31, 1996 (see Note K). The Company's secure
facilities  include a  detention  and  processing  center  for  illegal  aliens,
intermediate  sanction facilities for parole violators and a shock incarceration
facility,  which  is a  military  style  "boot  camp"  for  youthful  offenders.
Non-secure facilities include residential programs such as community corrections
facilities for federal and state offenders  serving the last six months of their
sentences and non-residential programs such as home confinement supervision.

     The Company is  compensated on the basis of the number of offenders held in
each of its facilities.  The Company's  contracts may provide for fixed per diem
rates  or  monthly  fixed  rates.   Some  contracts  also  provide  for  minimum
guarantees.

     The  terms  of  each  contract  vary  and can be  from  one to five  years.
Contracts  for  more  than  one year  have  renewal  options  which  either  are
exercisable on mutual agreement between the Company and the government agency or
are exercisable by the government agency alone.

     NOTE C - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     For the Company, financial instruments consist principally of cash and cash
equivalents, subordinated promissory notes and long-term debt.

     The following  methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value
of each class of financial  instruments  for which it is practicable to estimate
that value:

1.       Cash and Cash Equivalents

     The carrying amount reasonably approximates fair value because of the short
maturity of those instruments.

2.       Subordinated Promissory Notes and Long-Term Debt

     The fair value of the Company's subordinated promissory notes and long-term
debt is estimated  based upon the quoted  market  prices for the same or similar
issues or on the  current  rates  offered  to the  Company  for debt of the same
remaining maturities.

     NOTE H - DEBT

     Effective December 31, 1995, the Company and NationsBank, N.A. entered into
a loan and security  agreement  totaling  $11.0 million  expiring on January 15,
1998.  The agreement  consists of $5 million term loan at a fixed rate of 8.92%,
which  refinanced  previous debt with another bank,  and a $6 million  revolving
line of credit  for  working  capital  purposes.  On  September  17,  1996,  the
outstanding  balances of both the term loan  ($4,333,360) and the revolving line
($2,865,108) were repaid in full with interest from the net proceeds raised from
the public  offering (see Note K).  Borrowings  under the revolver are based, at
the  Company's  option,  on .75%  over  the  bank's  prime  rate  or the  London
International  Bank Rate  (LIBOR)  plus  3.35%.  After  September  30,  1996 the
interest  rate  charged  under  either  method  will be based  on the  Company's
financial  performance  as specified in the agreement.  Further,  the Company is
required to pay an annual  commitment  fee of .25% of the average unused portion
of the  facility.  The Company  may prepay any  borrowings  without  interest or
penalty.  The Company's  subsidiaries  have guaranteed the Company's  obligation
under the agreement.  The Company has granted the bank a first priority security
interest  in all of its assets,  including  a first real estate  mortgage on the
land and building  being used for its  Phoenix,  Arizona  facility.  The lending
agreement contains certain financial covenants including a debt service coverage
ratio and a senior  liabilities  to  tangible  net worth and  subordinated  debt
ratio. The agreement  precludes the payment of dividends and stock repurchase or
redemptions prior to December 31, 1996. Thereafter, such dividends,  purchase or
redemptions is limited to 10% of the Company's net earnings after taxes provided
that the Company is in compliance with the above- noted financial covenants.

     NOTE H - DEBT - (Continued)

     Through a series of transactions  that closed in July, August and September
1995,  the  Company  issued  5,676.6  units at  $1,000  per  unit,  in a private
placement of its securities  ("1995 Private  Placement").  Each unit consists of
(i) a 10% subordinated promissory note due July 31, 1998 in the principal amount
of $1,000,  interest payable  quarterly and (ii) a four year warrant to purchase
154 shares of common stock at $7.75 per share. The Company received  proceeds of
$5,676,600 in connection with the 1995 Private Placement and recorded the market
value of the warrants,  $365,000,  as promissory  note discount  amortized  over
three years.  The net proceeds  from such  issuance  were used to construct  and
renovate the Phoenix, Arizona facility.

     The Company's prior revolving credit and term loan agreement dated July 18,
1994, with a bank,  provided the Company with maximum  borrowings of $5,000,000,
at the bank's  prime rate plus 1% per  annum,  in the form of: (i) a  $1,000,000
revolving  credit  agreement  expiring July 28, 1996 and (ii) a $4,000,000  term
loan agreement with the outstanding  principal  payable in monthly  installments
through August 31, 1999. The Company had granted the prior bank a first priority
security  interest in all of its assets.  On March 24, 1995, the Company entered
into a $1,500,000  project loan and term loan  agreement  with a bank.  Proceeds
from the loan were used to finance  the cost of  construction  of the  Company's
Canadian,  Texas facility.  As noted above, these loans have been repaid in full
by the loan and security agreement with NationsBank, N.A.

     On July 28, 1995, the Company entered into an agreement with the bank under
which this bank (i) waived its right to declare  the  revolving  credit and term
loan agreement  dated July 28, 1994 and the project loan and term loan agreement
dated March 24, 1995 in default in the event of the  expiration of the Company's
Elizabeth,  New Jersey  contract with the United  States  Department of Justice,
Immigration  and  Naturalization  Services  ("INS"),  and (ii)  consented to the
Company's 1995 Private  Placement,  see above. In addition,  the Company granted
the prior bank a first priority deed of trust,  assignment of rents and security
interest on its Phoenix, Arizona facility and the assignment of leases and rents
on its Elizabeth,  New Jersey facility.  Pursuant to the agreement, the maturity
date of the term  loan  agreements  became  July 1,  1997,  payable  in  monthly
installments of $92,000 with the balance due July 1, 1997.  Under the agreement,
the Company prepaid  $250,000 of the term loans in September 1995. In connection
with the  agreement,  the President and Executive  Vice  President  gave limited
personal  guarantees,  not to exceed  $1,200,000 each. On December 31, 1995, the
term loan,  revolving  line of credit and project loan  agreements  were paid in
full by the loan and security agreement with NationsBank, N.A.

     The  Company,  after  considering  its previous  pattern of  profitability,

     NOTE K - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

     On  March  8,  1995,  the  Company's   Board  of  Directors   authorized  a
five-for-four  stock split in the form of a 25% stock dividend  payable on April
5, 1995 to  stockholders  of record on March 23,  1995.  All  references  in the
financial statements to average number of shares outstanding,  per share amounts
and stock option data for prior periods  presented have been restated to reflect
the 5% stock dividend and five-for-four stock split.

     During  September  1995,  the Company  completed  the private  placement of
496,807  shares of common stock at $7.75 per share.  The Company  received gross
proceeds of $3,850,254, net of issuance costs of $380,556. The net proceeds were
used for its Phoenix, Arizona facility.

     In connection with the 1995 Private  Placement,  warrants issued with units
totaled 874,198 which are exercisable at $7.75 per share.  During the year ended
December 31, 1996, 216,703 of such warrants were exercised  simultaneously  with
the tendering of  subordinated  notes.  At December 31, 1995 and 1996,  warrants
outstanding totaled 874,198 and 657,495, respectively. (See Note H).

     On February 2, 1994,  the  Company  completed a public  offering of 833,333
shares of common stock. The net proceeds received by the Company after deducting
applicable issuance costs and expenses aggregated $4,105,020. In connection with
the public offering, the Company sold to the representative of the underwriters,
for a nominal  sum,  warrants to purchase  from the  Company  109,375  shares of
common stock. The warrants are exercisable for a period of four years commencing
February 2, 1995 at an exercise  price of 107% of the  initial  public  offering
price  ($4.76),  increasing  to 114% of the  initial  public  offering  price on
February 2, 1996,  121% of the initial public offering price on February 2, 1997
and 128% of the initial public  offering  price on February 2, 1998.  During the
year ended  December  31, 1996,  30,000 of such  warrants  were  exercised at an
exercise price of $5.43 per share.

     On September 12, 1996, the Company completed a public offering of 2,070,000
shares of Common  Stock at $13.625  per share.  The net  proceeds  of the public
offering  after  deducting  applicable  issuance  costs and expenses  aggregated
approximately  $25,790,000.  In October,  1996,  pursuant  to the  underwriters'
over-allotment  option,  the Company sold an additional 367,500 shares of Common
Stock at $13.625 per share.  The net proceeds  received from the exercise of the
over-allotment option aggregated approximately  $4,716,000.  The net proceeds of

of  $7,198,468  (See Note H) and are being used for  construction,  start-up and
related costs of the Florence,  Arizona and Eagle Lake, Texas facilities and for
start-up  costs of the Polk and  Pahokee,  Florida  facilities  and for  general
corporate purposes.

NOTE L - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     1(a). Fort Worth and New York Closures

     During the fourth quarter of 1996, due to substantially  reduced  occupancy
levels  and   operating   losses  being   sustained  at  two  of  the  Company's
community-based  halfway  houses,  the Company has  decided to  discontinue  the
operations of two programs;  one in Fort Worth, Texas and the other in New York,
New York.  Operations  at each  facility are  anticipated  to cease early in the
second quarter of 1997. As a result, the Company has accrued certain expenses at
December 31, 1996, and has written down certain assets related to each program.

     In Fort Worth,  the Company has  notified  the  contracting  agency  (Texas
Department  of Criminal  Justice) that the entire  facility will be closed.  All
incremental  closure  related costs,  from April 1, 1997 until the expiration of
the facility's  operating lease in May, 1999, have been charged to operations at
December 31, 1996. Such expenses include the write-off of fixed assets, deferred
development  and start-up costs,  and a provision for rent expense,  real estate
taxes, insurance and closure costs.

     At the Company's Brooklyn and Manhattan,  New York facilities,  the Company
has written-  off a portion of fixed assets and expenses  related to the program
it manages  for the New York State  Department  of  Corrections.  Such  expenses
include rents and related costs of operating each  facility,  real estate taxes,
insurance  and closure  costs from April 1, 1997 through the  expiration  of the
facilities'   operating  leases  on  December  31,  1998  and  April  30,  2000,
respectively.  Costs and expenses associated with the Company's ongoing programs
in New York with the Federal Bureau of Prisons have not been written down except
for certain costs  anticipated  at the  Manhattan  facility  resulting  from the
closure of the New York program.

     The December 31, 1996 write-down of $3,329,000 represents actual charges to
operations  incurred for each program at December 31, 1996 and the present value
of those  expenses  subsequent to April 1, 1997  attributable  to the closure of
each program which total $3,600,000  discounted using an interest rate of 9% per
annum.

     The composition of the writedown is as follows:

Fixed assets, net                                           $  564,050
Deferred development and start-up costs, net                    98,446

     NOTE L - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES - Continued

     For each of the  aforementioned  programs,  the operating  losses  incurred
until the  facilities  are closed will be reflected in the financial  statements
applicable to those periods.

     1. New Jersey Facility Closure

     Due to a disturbance  at the Company's  Elizabeth,  New Jersey  facility on
June 18, 1995,  the facility was closed and all detainees  located  therein were
moved by the INS to other  facilities.  On December 15, 1995,  the company and a
publicly-traded company (the "Buyer"), which also operates and manages detention
and correctional  facilities,  entered into an asset purchase agreement pursuant
to which the Buyer  purchased the  equipment,  inventory and supplies,  contract
rights and records,  leasehold and land improvements of the Company's New Jersey
facility for $6,223,000.  The purchase price is payable in non-interest  bearing
monthly  installments of $123,000  (through August 1999) effective January 1997,
the month the Buyer commenced  operations of the facility.  If the INS re-awards
the contract to the Buyer, the unpaid balance is payable in monthly non-interest
bearing  installments  of $123,000  beginning in the first month of the re-award
term and the Company will record as income the unpaid balance.  On June 13, 1996
the  Company,  the Buyer and the INS executed a novation  agreement  whereby the
Buyer  became  the  successor-in-interest  to the  contract  with  the  INS.  In
addition,  the Company's  lease for the New Jersey  facility was assigned to the
Buyer.  The Company has no continuing  obligation with respect to the Elizabeth,
New Jersey facility.

     The  receivable  from  sale of the  equipment  and  leasehold  improvements
reflected  in the balance  sheet at December  31, 1995 and  December  31,  1996,
represents the present value of the  consideration to be received through August
1999 of $3,207,882 and $3,507,882, respectively, ($4,428,000 discounted using an
interest rate of 11.5% per annum) reduced by the estimated  closing costs (legal
and consulting) and the facility's estimated carrying costs through December 31,
1996.  The  statement of operations  for 1995 reflects a provision,  "New Jersey
facility  closure  costs," of  $3,909,700  which  represents  $416,201  from the
write-off of deferred  development  costs related to the facility and $3,493,499
resulting  from the  adjustment  of the  carrying  value of the  related  assets
discussed  above.  During the year ended  December 31, 1996,  the entire reserve
established  at December 31, 1995 for carrying and closing  costs was reduced by
approximately  $300,000  of  payments  for rent and other  carrying  and closing
costs.

2.       Legal Matters

     In May 1993,  a former  employee  of the  Company  filed suit in the United
States  District  Court,   Southern  District  of  New  York,  claiming  he  was
intentionally  assaulted by employees of the Company and claiming  $5,000,000 in
damages on each of six causes of action.  In January  1996,  a lawsuit was filed
with the  Supreme  Court of New  York,  County of  Kings,  by a former  employee
alleging  sexual  harassment  and  discrimination,  physical  assault,  rape and
negligent  screening  of  employees  and  claiming  damages of  $4,000,000  plus
attorney fees. In March 1996, former inmates at one of the Company's  facilities
filed  suit in the  Supreme  Court of the State of New York,  County of Bronx on
behalf of themselves and other similarly  situated,  alleging  personal injuries
and property damage purportedly caused by negligence and intentional acts of the
Company and claiming  $500,000,000  each for compensatory and punitive  damages,
which  suit was  transferred  to the  United  States  District  Court,  Southern
District of New York, in April 1996. In July 1996, seven detainees at one of the
Company's  facilities  (and certain of their spouses) filed suit in the Superior
Court of New Jersey,  County of Union,  seeking unspecified damages arising from
alleged mistreatment of the detainees,  which suit was transferred to the United
States District Court, District of New Jersey, in August 1996.

     The Company believes the claims made in each of the foregoing actions to be
without  merit and will  vigorously  defend such  actions.  The Company  further
believes the outcome of these actions and all other current legal proceedings to
which it is a party will not have a material  adverse effect upon its results of
operations, financial condition or liquidity.

3.       Contracts

     Renewal of government contracts (Note B) is subject to, among other things,
appropriations of funds by the various levels of government  involved  (Federal,
state or local).  Also, several contracts contain provisions whereby the Company
may be subject to audit by the government  agencies  involved.  These  contracts
also generally  contain  "termination for the convenience of the government" and
"stop work order"  clauses which  generally  allow the government to terminate a
contract  without cause. In the event one of the Company's  larger  contracts is
terminated, it may have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations.

4.       Officers' Compensation

     Effective  February  9,  1994,  the  President  entered  into  a  five-year
employment  agreement  with the Company that  provides  annual  compensation  of
$189,000, annual cost of living increases and an annual bonus of five percent of
pre-tax earnings greater than $1,000,000, not to exceed $200,000.

     In January 1996, the Company entered into three-year  employment agreements
with its Chief  Operating  Officer and Executive Vice  President-Finance,  which
provide annual compensation of $115,000 and $129,000,  respectively, and a bonus
equal to 3% of pre-tax profits in excess F-22

of $1,000,000 not to exceed $50,000 and $75,000,  respectively.  Pursuant to the
terms of the  employment  agreement,  each  executive  was  granted an option to
purchase  100,000  shares of common  stock.  The option was  granted at the fair
market  value of the stock on the date of grant which was $8.875 per share.  The
options are  exercisable as follows:  one-third on the date of grant,  one-third
one year from the date of grant and the  remaining  one-third two years from the
date of grant.

5.       Other

     Approximately  96.6% and 98.0% and of the Company's  revenues for the years
ended  December 31, 1995 and 1996,  respectively,  relate to amounts earned from
Federal,  state and local  contracts.  The Company's  contracts in 1995 and 1996
with  government  agencies  where revenues  exceeded 10% of the Company's  total
consolidated  revenues  were with the U. S. Bureau of Prisons,  the INS, the New
York State  Department  of  Corrections,  and the Texas  Department  of Criminal
Justice, and in 1996 also included the Arizona Department of Corrections.

6.       Fiduciary Funds

     The  Company  has  acted as a  fiduciary  disbursing  agent on  behalf of a
governmental entity whereby certain  governmental entity funds are maintained in
a separate  bank account.  These funds have been paid to the general  contractor
which  constructed the government owned  facilities.  The company is responsible
for managing the  construction  process.  The Company has no legal rights to the
funds nor the constructed facility, and accordingly, such funds do not appear in
the accompanying financial statements.

7.       Construction Commitments

     The Company has a  construction  contract  to build the  Florence,  Arizona
facility at a cost of $9,985,000 and another construction  agreement to renovate
the Frio, Texas facility for $300,000.

8.       Letter of Credit

     In connection with the Company's workmen's  compensation insurance coverage
requirements, the Company has obtained a $170,000 Letter of Credit from its bank
in favor of the insurance carrier.

     NOTE M - STOCK OPTIONS

     In October 1993, the Company adopted a stock option plan (the "Stock Option
Plan"). This plan provides for the granting of both: (i) incentive stock options
to employees  and/or officers of the Company and (ii)  non-qualified  options to
consultants,  directors,  employees or officers of the Company. The total number
of shares which may be sold  pursuant to options  granted under the stock option
plan is 500,000.  The Company,  in June 1994,  adopted a Non-employee  Directors
Stock Option Plan,  which  provides  for the grant of  non-qualified  options to
purchase up to 196,875 shares of the Company's common stock.

     Options  granted  under  both plans may not be granted at a price less than
the fair market  value of the Common Stock on the date of grant (or 110% of fair
market  value in the case of persons  holding 10% or more of the voting stock of
the Company).  Options  granted under the Stock Option Plan will expire not more
than five years from the date of grant.

     In 1996,  the Company  granted  215,000  options to two key employees and a
director of the Company.  The exercise price of the options is equal to the fair
market  value of the common stock at the date of the grant.  These  options vest
over a two year period and expire five years from the date of grant.

     The  Company  has  adopted  only the  disclosure  provisions  of  Financial
Accounting  Standard No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation (FAS 123).
It applies APB Opinion No. 25,  Accounting  for Stock Issued to  Employees,  and
related  interpretations  in  accounting  for its plans  and does not  recognize
compensation  expense  for its stock  based  compensation  plans  other than for
restricted stock. If the Company had elected to recognize  compensation  expense
based  upon the fair  value at the  grant  date for  awards  under  these  plans
consistent  with the  methodology  prescribed by FAS 123, the Company's net loss
and loss per share would be increased to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

     NOTE M - STOCK OPTIONS - Continued

     These pro forma  amounts may not be  representative  of future  disclosures
because they do not take into effect pro forma  compensation  expense related to
grants made before 1995.  The fair value of these  options was  estimated at the
date of grant  using  Black-Scholes  option-pricing  model  with  the  following
weighted-average assumption for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995.


                                             1996             1995
                                             ----             ----

            Volatility                        72%              72%
            Risk free rate                  5.64%            6.38%
            Expected life              3.32 years          4 years


     The weighted average fair value of options granted during 1996 and 1995 for
which the exercise price equals the market price on the grant date was $5.71 and
$8.81,  respectively,  and the weighted  average exercise prices were $10.56 and
$15.04,  respectively.  The weighted  average  fair value and  weighted  average
exercise price of options  granted in 1995 for which the exercise price exceeded
the market price on the grant date were $10.5 and $20.63, respectively.

     The  Black-Scholes   option  valuation  model  was  developed  for  use  in
estimating the fair value of traded  options which have no vesting  restrictions
and are fully  transferable.  In addition,  option  valuation models require the
input of highly  subjective  assumptions  including  the  expected  stock  price
volatility.  Because the Company's  employee stock options have  characteristics
significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the
subjective input asusmptions can materially  affect the fair value estimate,  in
management's  opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable
single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.

     Stock option activity during 1996 and 1995 is summarized below:

     NOTE N - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN

     On July 1, 1996, the Company  adopted a contributory  retirement plan under
Section  401(k) of the Internal  Revenue Code,  for the benefit of all employees
meeting certain minimum service requirements.  Eligible employees can contribute
up to 15% of their  salary  but not in excess of $9,500 in 1996.  The  Company's
contribution  under the plan amounts to 20% of the employees'  contribution.  In
1996, the Company contributed $15,886 to the plan.

     NOTE O - SELF INSURANCE

     During 1996, the Company  decided to self insure for workers'  compensation
insurance.  The Company has obtained an aggregate excess policy which limits the
Company's  exposure to a maximum of $600,000.  The  December 31, 1996  estimated
insurance liability totaling $120,000 is based upon review by the Company and an
independent  insurance  broker  of  claims  filed and  claims  incurred  but not
reported.

the employer, by the state or local law, etc.), the cost of furnishing such
uniforms and  maintaining  (by  laundering or dry cleaning)  such uniforms is an
expense that may not be borne by an employee  where such cost reduces the hourly
rate below that required by the wage determination. The Department of Labor will
accept payment in accordance with the following standards as compliance:



     The contractor or  subcontractor  is required to furnish all employees with
an adequate  number of uniforms  without cost or to reimburse  employees for the
actual cost of the uniforms. In addition, where uniform cleaning and maintenance
is made the  responsibility of the employee,  all contractors and subcontractors
subject  to this  wage  determination  shall  (in  the  absence  of a bona  fide
collective  bargaining  agreement  providing  for a  different  amount,  or  the
furnishing of contrary  affirmative proof as to the actual cost),  reimburse all
employees for such cleaning and maintenance at a rate of $4.25 per week (or $.85
cents per day).  However,  in those instances  where the uniforms  furnished are
made of "wash and wear" materials,  may be routinely washed and dried with other
personal  garments,  and  do  not  require  any  special  treatment-such  as dry
cleaning,  daily  washing,  or  commercial  laundering  in  order  to  meet  the
cleanliness or appearance standards set by the terms of the Government contract,
by the contractor, by law, or by the nature of the work, there is no requirement
that employees be reimbursed for uniform maintenance costs.

Directory of  Occupations"  (the  Directory)  should be used to compare job
definitions   to  insure  that  duties   requested   are  not   performed  by  a
classification already listed in the wage determination. Remember, it is not the
job title, but the required tasks that determine  whether a class is included in
an established wage determination. Conformance's may not be used to artificially
split, combine, or subdivide classifications listed in the wage determination.

                                SECOND AMENDMENT

     This Second Amendment (the  "Amendment") is made and entered into as of the
____ day of  ________,  19___,  by and between  Zell  Merrill  Lynch Real Estate
Opportunity  Partners  Limited  Partnership  ("Landlord")  by its agent,  Equity
Office Holdings,  L.L.C., L.C., and Correctional Services  Corporation,  Inc., a
Delaware  Corporation  (formerly  known as Esmor  Correctional  Services,  Inc.)
("Tenant").

                                   WITNESSETH

     A. WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant are parties to that certain lease dated the
Thirtieth day of June, 1995 currently  containing  approximately  6,409 rentable
square  feet of space  described  as Suite No.  1000 on the  Tenth  floor of the
building commonly known as Sarasota City Center and the address of which is 1819
Main Street,  Sarasota,  Florida  34236 (the  "Building"),  which lease has been
previously   amended  or  assigned  by  instrument   dated   November  15,  1996
(collectively, the "Lease"); and

     B.  WHEREAS,  Tenant has  requested  that  additional  space  consisting of
approximately  1,399  rentable  square feet on the Sixth  floor of the  Building
shown on Exhibit A hereto (the  "Expansion  Space") be added to the Premises and
that the Lease be appropriately  amended, and Landlord is willing to do the same
on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth;

     NOW,  THEREFORE,  in  consideration  of the mutual covenants and agreements
herein  contained  and other good and  valuable  consideration  the  receipt and
sufficiency  of which are hereby  acknowledged,  Landlord  and  Tenant  agree as
follows:

     I. Expansion and Effective  Date,  Effective as of the Expansion  Effective
Date (as  hereinafter  defined),  the Premises is increased  from 6,409 rentable
square  feet on the Tenth floor to 7,808  rentable  square feet on the Sixth and
Tenth  floor(s) by the addition of the Expansion  Space.  The lease term for the
Expansion  Space shall  commence on the Expansion  Effective Date and end on the
Termination Date. The Expansion Space is subject to all the terms and conditions
of the Lease  except as expressly  modified  herein and except that Tenant shall
not be  entitled  to  receive  any  allowances,  abatement  or  other  financial
concession  granted  with respect to the Premises  unless such  concessions  are
expressly provided for herein with respect to the Expansion Space.

     A. Tile  Expansion  Effective Date shall be the later to occur of (i) March
1, 1997  ("Target  Expansion  Effective  Date"),  and (ii) the date  upon  which
Landlord's  improvement  work in the  Expansion  Space  has  been  substantially
completed; provided, however, that if Landlord shall be delayed in substantially
completing  the  Landlord's  work in the  Expansion  Space  as a  result  of the
occurrence of any of the following (a "Delay"):


<PAGE>




     1. Tenant's failure to furnish  information or to respond to any request by
Landlord for any approval or information  within any time period  prescribed or,
if no time  period is  prescribed,  then  within two (2)  Business  Days of such
request; or

     2. Tenant's  insistence on materials,  finishes or installations  that have
long  lead  times  after  having  first  been  informed  by  Landlord  that such
materials, finishes or installations will cause a Delay; or

     3. Changes in any plans and specifications; or

     4. The  performance  or  nonperformance  by a person or entity  employed by
Tenant in the completion of any work (all such work and such persons or entities
being subject by the prior approval of Landlord); or


     5 Any request by Tenant that  Landlord  delay the  completion of any of the
Landlord's work; or

     6.  Any  breach  or  default  by  Tenant  in the  performance  of  Tenant's
obligations under this Amendment or the Lease; or

     7. Any  delay  resulting  from  Tenant's  having  taken  possession  of the
Expansion Space for any reason prior to substantial completion of the Landlord's
work; or

     8.  Any  other  delay  chargeable  to  Tenant,  its  agents,  employees  or
independent contractors; or

     9. Any other cause beyond Landlord's control;

     then, for purposes of determining the Expansion Effective Date, the date of
substantial  completion  shall be deemed to be the day that said Landlord's work
would have been substantially  completed absent any such Delay(s). The Expansion
Space shall be deemed to be  substantially  completed on the date that  Landlord
reasonably determines that all Landlord's work has been performed (or would have
been  performed  absent any  Delays),  other than any  details of  construction,
mechanical  adjustment or any other matter,  the noncompletion of which does not
materially interfere with Tenant's use of the Expansion Space. The adjustment of
the Expansion  Effective Date and,  accordingly,  the  postponement  of Tenant's
obligation to pay Rent on the Expansion  Space shall be Tenant's sole remedy and
shall constitute full settlement of all claims that Tenant might otherwise

                                        2

have against  Landlord by reason of the Expansion Space not being ready for
occupancy by Tenant on the Target Expansion Effective Date.

     B. In addition to the postponement, if any, of the Expansion Effective Date
as a result of the  applicability  of  Paragraph  I.A.  of this  Amendment,  the
Expansion  Effective  Date shall be delayed to the extent that Landlord fails to
deliver  possession of the Expansion  Space for any other reason,  including but
not limited to, holding over by prior occupants. Any such delay in the Expansion
Effective  Date shall not  subject  Landlord  to any  liability  for any loss or
damage  resulting  therefrom.  If the Expansion  Effective Date is delayed,  the
Termination Date under the Lease shall not be similarly extended.

     II. Monthly Base Rental,

     In  addition to Tenant's  obligation  to pay Base Rental for the  Premises,
Tenant shall pay Landlord the sum of Ninety Three  Thousand Three Hundred Eighty
Three and 35/100s* Dollars  ($93,383.35*) as Base Rental for the Expansion Space
in 44 monthly installments as follows:

     A. Seven equal  installments  of  $1,923.63*  each payable on or before the
first day of each month  during the  period  beginning  March 1, 1997 and ending
September 30, 1997.

     B. Twelve equal  installments  of $2,040.21*  each payable on or before the
first day of each month during the period  beginning  October 1, 1997 and ending
September 30, 1998.

     C. Twelve equal  installments  of $2,156.79*  each payable on or before the
first day of each month during the period  beginning  October 1, 1998 and ending
September 30, 1999.

     D. Thirteen equal  installments of $2.273,38* each payable on or before the
first day of each month during the period  beginning  October 1, 1999 and ending
October 31, 2000.

                    *Plus Applicable Florida State Sales Tax

     All such Base  Rental  shall be  payable by Tenant in  accordance  with the
terms of Article V of the Lease.

     Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that the foregoing schedule is based on the
assumption that the Expansion  Effective Date is the Target Expansion  Effective
Date. If the Expansion Effective Date is postponed, the beginning date set forth
above with respect to the payment of any  installment(s) of Base Rental shall be
appropriately  adjusted  on a per them  basis  and set  forth in a  confirmation
letter to be prepared by Landlord.

     III.  Additional Security Deposit,  Upon Tenant's execution hereof,  Tenant
shall  pay  $2,183.02  to  Landlord  which is added to and  becomes  part of the
Security  Deposit if any, held by Landlord which is added to and becomes part of
the Security  Deposit,  if any, held by Landlord as provided  under the Lease as
security for payment of Rent and the  performance  of other terms and conditions
of the Lease of Tenant. Accordingly, simultaneous with the execution hereof, the
Security Deposit is increased from $10,414.63 to $12,597.65.

     IV. Tenant's Pro Rata Share,  For the period  commencing with the Expansion
Effective Date and ending on the Termination  Date,  Tenant's Pro Rata Share for
the Expansion Space is Fifty Six Hundredths of a percent (.56%).

     V. Base Year,  Base  Amount,  Tax Base,  and Expense  Base.  For the period
commencing with the Expansion Effective Date and ending on the Termination Date,
the Base Year for the  computation  of  Tenant's  Pro Rata Share of Basic  Costs
applicable to the Expansion Space is 1995.

     VI. Improvements to Expansion Space.

     A. Tenant has inspected  the Expansion  Space and agrees to accept the same
"as is" without any agreements,  representations,  understandings or obligations
on the part of  Landlord to perform any  alterations,  repairs or  improvements,
except as may be expressly provided otherwise in this Amendment.

     B. Cost of  Improvements  to  Expansion  Space.  Provided  Tenant is not in
default,  Tenant  shall be entitled  to receive an  improvement  allowance  (the
"Expansion Improvement  Allowance") in an amount not to exceed Fourteen Thousand
Nine Hundred Fifty Five and 31/100s  Dollars  ($14,955.31)  to be applied toward
the cost of performing  initial  construction,  alteration or improvement of the
Expansion Space, including but not limited to the cost of space planning, design
and related  architectural and engineering services. In the event the total cost
of the  initial  improvements  to the  Expansion  Space  exceeds  the  Expansion
Improvement Allowance,  Tenant shall pay for such excess upon demand. The entire
unused balance of the Expansion Improvement  Allowance,  if any, shall accrue to
the sole

<PAGE>



     benefit  of  Landlord.   Landlord  shall  pay  such  Expansion  Improvement
Allowance  directly to the  contractors  retained  to perform the  construction,
design or related improvement work to the Expansion Space.

     C. Responsibility for Improvements to Expansion Space. Landlord shall enter
into a direct contract for the initial  improvements to the Expansion Space with
a general  contractor  selected by  Landlord.  Tenant  shall devote such time in
consultation with Landlord or Landlord's architect as may be required to provide
all  information  Landlord  deems  necessary  in order  to  enable  Landlord  to
complete,  and obtain  Tenant's  written  approval of, the plans for the initial
improvements  to the  Expansion  Space in a timely  manner.  All  plans  for the
initial  improvements  to the  Expansion  Space  shall be subject to  Landlord's
consent,  which consent shall not be unreasonably  withheld. If the cost of such
improvements  exceeds  the  Expansion  Improvement  Allowance,   then  prior  to
commencing any  construction of improvements  to the Expansion  Space,  Landlord
shall submit to Tenant a written  estimate  setting forth the anticipated  cost,
including  but not  limited to the cost of space  planning,  design and  related
architectural and engineering services, labor and materials,  contractor's fees,
and permit fees. Within a reasonable time thereafter, Tenant shall either notify
Landlord  in  writing  of its  approval  of the cost  estimate  or  specify  its
objections thereto and any desired changes to the proposed improvements.  In the
event Tenant notifies  Landlord of such objections and desired  changes,  Tenant
shall  work  with  Landlord  to reach a  mutually  acceptable  alternative  cost
estimate.

     VII. Early Access to Expansion  Space.  During any period that Tenant shall
be permitted to enter the Expansion Space prior to the Expansion  Effective Date
(e.g.,  to perform  alterations or  improvements),  Tenant shall comply with all
terms and provisions of the Lease, except those provisions  requiring payment of
Base Rental or Additional Base Rental as to the Expansion Space. If Tenant takes
possession of the Expansion Space prior to the Expansion  Effective Date for any
reason  whatsoever  (other than the  performance of work in the Expansion  Space
with Landlord's  prior  approval),  such possession  shall be subject to all the
terms and conditions of the Lease and this Amendment,  and Tenant shall pay Base
Rental and  Additional  Base  Rental as  applicable  to the  Expansion  Space to
Landlord on a per diem basis for each day of  occupancy  prior to the  Expansion
Effective Date.

     VIII. Parking.

     1. During the Lease Term, Tenant agrees to lease from Landlord and Landlord
agrees to lease to Tenant an additional four (4) unreserved  parking spaces (the
"Spaces") in the Building garage ("Garage") for the use of

                                        5

<PAGE>



     Tenant and its  employees.  No deductions  or allowances  shall be made for
days when Tenant and its employees do not utilize the parking  facilities or for
Tenant  utilizing  less than all of the  number of  unreserved  Spaces set forth
above.  Tenant shall not have the right to lease or otherwise  use more than the
number of unreserved Spaces set forth above.

     2. Tenant shall pay Landlord,  as Additional Base Rental in accordance with
Article V of the Lease,  the sum of $40.00 per month,  plus  applicable  Florida
State Sales Tax for each unreserved parking Space leased by Tenant hereunder.

     3.  Except for  particular  spaces and areas  designated  by  Landlord  for
reserved  parking,  all parking in the Garage shall be on an  unreserved,  first
come,  first served  basis.  Reserved  Spaces,  if any,  shall be  designated by
Landlord.

     4. Landlord  shall not be  responsible  for money,  jewelry,  automobile or
other personal  property lost in or stolen from the Garage regardless of whether
such loss or theft  occurs when the Garage or other areas  therein are locked or
otherwise  secured.  Except as caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of
Landlord and without  limiting  the terms of the  preceding  sentence,  Landlord
shall not be liable for any loss,  injury or damage to persons  using the Garage
or automobiles or other property  therein,  it being agreed that, to the fullest
extent  permitted  by law,  the use of the  Spaces  shall be at the sole risk of
Tenant and its employees.

     5.  Landlord  shall  have the  right  from  time to time to  designate  the
location  of the  Spaces  and to  promulgate  reasonable  rules and  regulations
regarding the Garage, the Spaces and the use thereof, including, but not limited
to, rules and  regulations  controlling  the flow of traffic to and from various
parking  areas,  the angle and  direction of parking and the like.  Tenant shall
comply  with  and  cause  its  employees  to  comply  with all  such  rules  and
regulations as well as all reasonable additions and amendments thereto.

     6. Tenant shall not store or permit its employees to store any  automobiles
in the  Garage  without  the prior  written  consent  of  Landlord.  Except  for
emergency  repairs,  Tenant and its employees  shall not perform any work on any
automobiles while located in the Garage or on the Property. If its necessary for
Tenant or its  employees to leave an  automobile in the Garage or on the surface
parking areas overnight, Tenant shall provide Landlord with prior notice thereof
designating the license plate number and model of

                                        6

such automobile.

     7. Landlord shall have the tight to temporarily close the Garage or certain
areas  therein  in  order  to  performing  necessary  repairs,  maintenance  and
improvements to the Garage.

     8.  Tenant  shall not  assign or  sublease  any of the Spaces  without  the
consent of Landlord.  Landlord  shall have the right to  terminate  this Parking
Agreement with respect to any Spaces that Tenant desires to sublet or assign.

     9. Landlord may elect to provide parking cards or keys to control access to
the Garage.  In such event,  Landlord  shall provide Tenant with one card or key
for each Space that Tenant is leasing  hereunder,  provided that Landlord  shall
have the right to  require  Tenant or its  employees  to place a deposit on such
access cards or keys and to pay a fee for any lost or damaged cards or keys.

     IX. Miscellaneous.

     A. This Amendment sets forth the entire agreement  between the parties with
respect to the matters set forth herein.  There have been no additional  oral or
written representations or agreements.

     B. Except as herein  modified or amended,  the  provisions,  conditions and
terms of the Lease shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect.

     C. In the case of any inconsistency between the provisions of the Lease and
this Amendment, the provisions of this Amendment shall govern and control.

     D.  Submission of this  Amendment by Landlord is not an offer to enter into
this  Amendment  but  rather  is a  solicitation  for such an  offer by  Tenant.
Landlord  shall not be bound by this  Amendment  until Landlord has executed and
delivered the same to Tenant.

     E.  The  capitalized  terms  used in this  Amendment  shall  have  the same
definitions as set forth in the Lease to the extent that such capitalized  terms
are defined therein and not redefined in this Amendment.

     F. This Amendment shall be of no force and effect unless and until accepted
by any guarantors of the Lease, who by signing below shall agree that their

                                        7

guarantee  shall  apply  to  the  Lease  as  amended  herein,  unless  such
requirement is waived by Landlord in writing.

     G.  Tenant  hereby  represents  to  Landlord  that Tenant has dealt with no
broker in connection  with this  Amendment.  Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold
Landlord  and the  Landlord  Related  Parties  harmless  from all  claims of any
brokers claiming to have represented Tenant in connection with this Amendment.



     IN WITNESS  WHEREOF,  Landlord and Tenant have duly executed this Amendment
as of the day and year first above Written.

     (a) The Government will award a contract  resulting from this  solicitation
to the responsible  offeror whose offer conforming to the  solicitation  will be
most advantageous to the Government,  cost or price and other factors, specified
elsewhere in this solicitation, considered.

     (b) The  Government  may (1) reject any or all offers if such  action is in
the public  interest,  (2) accept  other  than the lowest  offer,  and (3) waive
informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

     (c) The  Government  intends  to  evaluate  proposals  and award a contract
without  discussions  with  offerors  (except  communications  conducted for the
purpose of minor  clarification).  Therefore,  each initial offer should contain
the offeror's best terms from a cost or price and technical standpoint. However,
the Government  reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by
the Contracting officer to be necessary.

     (d) The  Government  may  accept  any item or  group of items of an  offer,
unless the offeror qualifies the offer by specific limitations. UNLESS OTHERWISE
PROVIDED IN THE SCHEDULE, OFFERS MAY BE SUBMITTED FOR QUANTITIES LESS THAN THOSE
SPECIFIED.  THE GOVERNMENT RESERVES THE RIGHT TO MAKE AN AWARD ON ANY ITEM FOR A
QUANTITY  LESS THAN THE QUANTITY  OFFERED,  AT THE UNIT COST OR PRICES  OFFERED,
UNLESS THE OFFEROR SPECIFIES OTHERWISE IN THE OFFER.

     (e) A written award or acceptance of offer mailed or otherwise furnished to
the successful  offeror  within the time for  acceptance  specified in the offer
shall  result in a binding  contract  without  further  action by either  party.
Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer
(or part of an offer, as provided in paragraph (d) above),  whether or not there
are  negotiations  after its receipt,  unless a written  notice of withdrawal is
received before award.  Negotiations  conducted after receipt of an offer do not
constitute a rejection or counteroffer by-the Government.

     (f) Neither  financial data submitted  with an offer,  nor  representations
concerning facilities or financing,  will form a part of the resulting contract.
However,  if the  resulting  contract  contains  a clause  providing  for  price
reduction for defective cost or pricing data, the contract price will be subject
to reduction if cost or pricing data furnished is incomplete, inaccurate, or not
current.

A.1    (continued)



     (g) The  Government  may  determine  that an offer is  unacceptable  if the
prices proposed are materially  unbalanced  between line items or subline items.
An offer is materially  unbalanced when it is based on prices significantly less
than  cost for some  work and  prices  which  are  significantly  overstated  in
relation to cost for other  work,  and if there is a  reasonable  doubt that the
offer will result in the lowest overall cost to the  Government,  even though it
may be the low  evaluated  offer,  or it is so unbalanced as to be tantamount to
allowing an advance payment.

     (h) The  Government  may disclose the following  information  in post-award
debriefing  to other  offerors:  (1) the  overall  evaluated  cost or price  and
technical  rating of the  successful  offeror;  (2) the  overall  ranking of all
offerors,  when any ranking was developed by the agency during source selection;
(3) a summary of the rationale for award; (4) for acquisitions of commercial end
items, the make and model of the item to be delivered by the successful offeror.

     (2)  The  offeror   grants  the   Contracting   officer  or  an  authorized
representative the right to examine, at any time before award,  books,  records,
documents,  or other  directly  pertinent  records to verify any  request for an
exception under this provision, and the reasonableness of price. Access does not
extend  to cost or  profit  information  or other  data  relevant  solely to the
offeror's  determination  of  the  prices  to  be  offered  in  the  catalog  or
marketplace

     (b)  Recruitment's  for cost or pricing data. If the offeror is not granted
an exception from the  requirement to submit cost or pricing data, the following
applies:

     (1) The offeror  shall  submit cost or pricing  data on Standard  Form (SF)

     (c) By submitting  information  to qualify for an exception,  an offeror is
not representing that this is the only exception that may apply.

                                      Term

     2.01 This  Agreement  is  effective  on the date set  forth in the  initial
paragraph  of this  Agreement.  The  ordinal  term of this  Agreement  shall  be
three(3)  years and such term shall  commence on the date the first inmate shall
occupy the Facility and shall end on the third anniversary date thereafter.

     2.02 The County and the Contractor  may negotiate  renewal of the Agreement
for an  additional  term of two  years.  Per  diem  rate,  for  daily  fees  for
operational and management  services,  increases shall be based on the increases

and the time frame for completion.  At the end of the specified time frame,  the
County may again inspect for  deficiencies at the Facility to ensure  compliance
with the plan.  Deficiencies  that  remain  uncorrected  may cause a one percent
penalty  per day for that day's  billable  man-days  to be imposed  against  the
monthly invoice of the Contractor until deficiencies are corrected.

     2.04 The  County  may,  upon  30-days  written  notice  to the  Contractor,

a result of generally  applicable  changes to  governmental  regulations  of any

occupancy in whole or in part, then, except as otherwise provided in this Lease,
such fact  shall not affect  the  provisions  of this  Lease,  any law,  rule or
regulation to the contrary notwithstanding, Section 227 of the Real Property Law
of the State of New York or any other law of similar nature,  extent and context
expressly  applicable  hereto being hereby  expressly  waived by Tenant.  Tenant

payment of Base Rent, Additional Rent and other sums and charges with respect to
the portion of the Demised  Premises  that were not  destroyed or injured  shall
continue the same as though said buildings and  improvements  or any of them had
not been destroyed or injured,  and without abatement of any kind, except as set
forth in Article 15 or as otherwise  provided in this Lease.  Tenant will obtain

<PAGE>




11.      Compliance With Laws

     Except as set forth in Article 8C  hereunder,  Tenant  covenants to execute
and comply in all material respects with any and all laws, statutes,  ordinances
and regulations,  federal, state, county or municipal, now or hereafter in force
applicable to the Deposed  Premises,  relating to use or occupancy thereof or to
the  making of  repairs  thereto  or of  changes,  alterations  or  improvements
therein,  ordinary  or  extraordinary,  structural  or  otherwise,  foreseen  or
unforeseen,  including  without  limitation the  performance of any duty imposed
upon Landlord or

                                        6


Tenant by such laws, statutes,  ordinances or regulations in respect to the
sidewalk, curb, street, vault or alley adjacent to the Demised Premises.  Tenant
also  covenants  to comply in all material  respects  with any and all rules and
regulations  applicable to the Demised  Premises issued by the New York Board of
Fire Underwriters  and/or the New York Fire Insurance companies writing policies
covering the Demised Premises which are applicable thereto. Tenant shall pay all
costs,  expenses,  claims,  fines,  penalties and damages that may in any manner
arise out of or be imposed  because of the failure of Tenant to comply with this
Article,  and in any  event,  agrees to  indemnify  and save  Landlord  free and
harmless of and from all  liability  with  reference to the same,  except to the
extent that such  costs,  expenses,  claims,  fines,  penalties  and damages are
caused by Landlord's failure to perform its obligations under Article 8 hereof.

     Landlord or Tenant shall each  promptly  give  written  notice to the other
party of any  notice  of  violation  received  by it.  Without  diminishing  the
obligation of Tenant,  if Tenant shall at any time fail or neglect to materially
comply, to the extent reasonably  appropriate and as expeditiously as reasonably
feasible,  with  any of said  laws,  rules,  orders,  requirements,  directions,
ordinances or regulations  concerning or affecting the Demised Premises,  or the
use and  occupation  thereof,  or of any  building  thereof,  as  herein  before
provided,  and,  if a stay is  necessary,  shall have failed to obtain a stay or
continuance thereof,  then Landlord, in addition to any other remedies hereunder
shall be free to comply  therewith,  and expenses  resulting  therefrom shall be
borne and paid by Tenant and upon Tenant's failure so to pay, then Landlord may,
at its sole option, pay the same, and any payments so made by Landlord, together
with interest  thereon to be computed at the rate of one percent (1%) per month,
from the date of payment,  shall be  considered as  Additional  Rent,  and shall
entitle  Landlord  to enforce  any of the  terms,  provisions,  conditions,  and
covenants  herein  contained  that may be  applicable to such  Additional  Rent.
Tenant may,  however,  contest by means of due legal proceedings the validity of
any such law, rule, order, ordinance or regulations, and refrain from compliance
therewith  during  such  contest,  provided  that such  noncompliance  shall not
constitute a crime or misdemeanor on the part of Landlord.

12.     No Liens

     A.Tenant  will not create or permit to be  created  or to remain,  and will
discharge,  any lien,  encumbrance or charge levied on account of any imposition
of any mechanic's, laborer's or material man's lien upon the Demised Premises or
any part thereof or the income therefrom, resulting from any work or alterations
performed  by Tenant,  having any  priority or  preference  over or ranking on a
parity with the estate,  rights and interest or Landlord in the Demised Premises
or any part  thereof or the  income  therefrom,  and Tenant  will not suffer any
other matter or thing whereby the estate, rights and interest of Landlord in the
Demised Premises or any part thereof might be impaired.



<PAGE>







                                        7


     A. If any mechanic's,  laborer's or materialman's lien shall at any time be
filed against the Demised  Premises or any part thereof,  Tenant,  within thirty
(30)  days  after  notice  of the  filing  thereof,  will  cause  the same to be
discharged  of record by payment,  deposit,  bond order of a court of  competent
jurisdiction or otherwise, provided that such lien arose as a result of Tenant's
activities at the Demised Premises after the Commencement  Date. If Tenant shall
fail to cause such lien to be discharged within the period  aforesaid,  then, in
addition to any other right or remedy,  Landlord may, but shall not be obligated
to,  discharge  the same  either by paying  the  amount  claimed to be due or by
obtaining  the discharge of such lien by deposit or by bonding  proceedings.  In
such event,  Landlord  shall be entitled,  if Landlord so elects,  to compel the
prosecution of an action for the  foreclosure of such lien by the lien or and to
pay the amount of the  judgment in favor of the lienor with  interest,  cost and
allowances. Any amount so paid by Landlord and all reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by Landlord in connection therewith,  together with interest thereon at
the rate of one percent (1%) per month,  from the respective dates of Landlord's
making of the payment or incurring of such reasonable costs and expenses,  shall
constitute  Additional Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease and shall be paid
by Tenant to Landlord on demand.  Nothing herein contained shall obligate Tenant
to pay or discharge any lien created by Landlord.

     C. Nothing in this Lease  contained shall be deemed or construed in any way
as  constituting  the consent or request of  Landlord,  express or  implied,  by
inference or otherwise, to any contractor,  subcontractor,  architect,  laborer,
engineer or materialman for any specific improvement  alteration to or repair of
the Demised  Premises or any part  thereof,  and the  personal  property  hereby
leased.

13. No Use In Violation of Certificate of Occupancy

     During  the term of this  Lease,  Tenant  will not use or keep or allow the
Demised  Premises or any portion thereof or any building or improvements  now or
hereafter erected or maintained thereon, to be used or occupied for any unlawful
purpose or in violation of any  Certificate  of Occupancy  covering or affecting
the use of the Demised  Premises or any portion  thereof,  or any  buildings  or
improvements now or hereafter  erected thereon,  as the same may be amended from
time to time (the "Certificate of Occupancy"). Tenant will not suffer any act to
be done or any condition to exist on the Demised Premises or any portion thereof
or any building or improvement now or hereafter erected thereon,  which shall in
law  constitute  a  nuisance,  public or  private,  or which  shall make void or
voidable any insurance then in force on the Demised Premises.  Tenant shall have
the right to amend the  Certificate  of  Occupancy  to conform to its use of the
premises,  provided that Tenant shall bear the entire cost of any alterations to
the Demised  Premises  resulting  from  Tenant's  use,  or  intended  use of the
premises.

14.      Assignment and Subletting

     A.  Except as provided in  Paragraph C herein or  otherwise  in this Lease,
Tenant expressly  covenants and agrees that Tenant shall not assign or underrate
all or  substantially  all of the Demised  Premises,  without the prior  written
consent of Landlord in each  instance,  which consent shall not be  unreasonably
withheld or delayed. If this Lease shall be assigned, or if the Demised Premises
or any part thereof be underrated or occupied by any person or entity other than
Tenant, Landlord may, after default in respect of the payment of rent by Tenant,


<PAGE>


                                        8


collect rent from the assignee, under tenant or occupant, and apply the net
amount  so  collected  to the  rent  herein  reserved,  but no such  assignment,
underletting,  occupancy or  collection of rent shall be deemed a waiver of this
covenant, the acceptance of the assignee, under tenant or occupant as tenant, or
a release of Tenant from the further  performance  by Tenant of covenants on the
part of Tenant herein  contained.  The formal written  consent by Landlord to an
assignment  or  underletting  shall not in any  manner be  construed  to relieve
Tenant from obtaining the express  consent in writing of Landlord to any further
assignment  or  underletting  of this  Lease.  If  Tenant  hereunder  shall be a
corporation,  the  provisions of this Article 14 shall not apply to an assignee,
under tenant or occupant that owns 100% of the  outstanding  shares of Tenant or
to a corporation whose shares are owned 100% by Tenant.

     B. Tenant  further  expressly  covenants  and agrees  that  notwithstanding
anything to the contrary  contained in this Lease, the sale or transfer,  by one
or more transfers at any time (if effected on a concerted  basis),  of more than
fifty (50%) percent of the total outstanding shares in any corporation which may
be the Tenant under this Lease, or the sale or transfer at any time of more than
fifty (50%)  percent of the total  equity  interests in any  partnership,  joint
ventures  or other  unincorporated  association  which may be Tenant  under this
Lease,  shall,  in each case, be deemed to be an assignment of this Lease within
the meaning and intent of the  provisions of this Article.  Notwithstanding  the
foregoing,  the  transfer  or  assignment  of any such shares of stock or equity
interests  solely  by  reason  of the  death of a  stockholder,  partner,  joint
venturer or member to his or her heirs,  distributees or legal  representatives,
or any  inter  vivos  transfers  or  assignments  of  shares  of stock or equity
interests  to  members of the  immediate  family of such  stockholder  or equity
holder, or any transfer among existing stockholders,  partners,  joint venturers
or members of any other  unincorporated  association,  or any such  transfer  of
shares or equity  interest to third  parties  aggregating  less than fifty (50%)
percent of the total interests  thereof,  shall not, in any such case, be deemed
an assignment or sale of such shares of stock or  partnership,  joint venture or
other unincorporated association interest for purposes of this Article.

     Any violation of the  provisions of this Article shall entitle  Landlord to
exercise any and all of the default and remedy  provisions now contained in this
Lease after the applicable notice and grace periods.

     C. Except as otherwise provided herein,  Tenant may assign the Lease to any
unaffiliated  person or entity, but only for the use of the Demised Premises for
the specific  purposes set forth in Article 3 hereof and for no other  purposes,
and Tenant may assign  this  Lease only  subject to and by  assignment  shall be
binding upon Landlord nor shall it have any force or effect, either in law or in
equity, or convey any interest of Tenant in this Lease, unless and until each of
said following conditions are complied with:

     (i) any such assignment hereof shall be subject to Landlord's prior written
consent,which  consent  Landlord  covenants and agrees will not  unreasonably be
withheld or delayed;

     (ii) that at the time of any such assignment, the Tenant/assignor shall not
then be in  default  hereunder  in  respect  of the  payment  of monies  due the
Landlord  for Base Rent or  Additional  Rent of any kind  beyond the  applicable
grace periods with respect thereto;

                                        9


     (iii) such assignment shall be evidenced by an instrument of assignment and
assumption duly executed and acknowledged in triplicate original copies by


<PAGE>



Tenant/assignor  and its  assignee  ("such  assignee"),  pursuant  to which
Tenant/assignor  assigns this Lease to such assignee,  and such assignee accepts
the  assignment  thereof  and  assumes  and agrees to perform  all the terms and
provisions in this Lease contained to be kept,  observed and performed by Tenant
hereunder from and after the effective date of such assignment,  and an executed
and  acknowledged  duplicate  original  of such  instrument,  together  with the
address of such assignee, shall be delivered to Landlord and

     (iv) Tenant shall pay to Landlord  monthly as  Additional  Rent ten percent
(10%) of the  amount by which  the rent  being  paid to Tenant by such  assignee
exceeds the amount payable by Tenant to Landlord as Base Rent under the terms of
this Lease.

     Tenant  covenants  and  agrees  that no  assignment  made  pursuant  to the
provisions  of this  Article  shall in any way  release  or be deemed to release
Tenant  herein  named,  or any assignee of the interest of Tenant in this Lease,
and requires  that Tenant and all  assignees of Tenant's  interest  shall at all
times  throughout  the term of this Lease  continue to be and remain jointly and
severally  and  primarily  liable  for  the  full  performance  of  all  of  the
obligations  of this Lease on the part of Tenant to be  performed,  observed and
complied  with from the date of the  execution  of this Lease  through  the term
hereof.

     D. Whenever  Landlord's consent shall be required  hereunder,  Tenant shall
deliver to Landlord written notice by certified mail, return receipt  requested,
of the proposed assignment of this Lease at least twenty (20) business days (the
term "business days" as used in this Lease shall mean consecutive days exclusive
of Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays which are statewide in the State of New
York) prior  thereto,  which  notice  shall  include and be  accompanied  by the
following information:

     (i) the name and address of the proposed assignee; and

     (ii) the names and business  experience  of principal or  principals of the
proposed  assignee  who will be active in the  operation  of the business at the
Demised Premises by the proposed  assignee and their  respective  percentages of
equity interest in the proposed assignee.

     Landlord  agrees,  within a period  of ten (10)  business  days  after  its
receipt  of the  aforementioned  notice of the  proposed  assignment,  to notify
Tenant in writing, by certified mail, return receipt requested, either: (a) that
Landlord  is  willing  to  thereafter  give its  formal  written  consent to the
proposed assignment of this Lease, provided that all of the conditions precedent
to the  delivery of a formal  consent in writing  set forth in this  Article are
first  fully  complied  with;  or (b) that  Landlord  is not willing to give its
consent to the proposed assignment of this Lease. In addition, if Landlord sends
no written  notice at all to Tenant within said period of ten (1O) business days
as to whether or not Landlord is willing to thereafter  give its formal  written
consent to the proposed  assignment of this Lease, then Landlord shall be deemed
to have given its formal written consent  hereunder to such proposed  assignment
of this Lease.



                                       10


     E. If Tenant shall deem itself  aggrieved by Landlord's  failure or refusal
to consent to the proposed assignment of this Lease by Tenant, Tenant shall have
the right to submit the issue of Landlord's  failure or refusal to affirmatively
consent in writing to such  assignment to arbitration in accordance with Article
34 hereof

     15. Insurance: Repair and Restoration


<PAGE>




     A. Tenant  shall  throughout  the term of this  lease,  at its own cost and
expense,  provide and keep in force for its own benefit,  insurance against loss
or damage or injury or  destruction  to or of any building or  buildings  now or
hereafter  erected  on  the  leased  premises,   together  with  the  furniture,
furnishings  and  equipment  therein,  if any,  resulting  from fire or from any
hazard  included  in the  so-called  extended  coverage  endorsement  from  such
insurance  companies  authorized to engage in insurance business in the State of
New York,  which  policies shall provide that the loss, if any, shall be payable
to Tenant, except as hereinafter provided. All such policies shall name Landlord
as  additional  insured and an original copy of such policy shall be provided to
Landlord.  Tenant  shall also  insure  that the  interest of the holder of a Fee
Mortgage be protected by proper  endorsement  to any such  policies.  Tenant may
carry such  insurance  under  blanket  policies  and shall in such case  provide
Landlord with a certificate evidencing such coverage.

     B. Tenant shall likewise  observe and comply with the  requirements  of all
policies of insurance at any time in force with respect to the Demised  Premises
and the personal property hereby leased.

     C. No  destruction  of or  damage,  to the  Demised  Premises,  or any part
thereof,  by fire or  other  casualty,  shall  terminate  or  permit  Tenant  to
surrender this Lease or shall relieve Tenant from its obligation to pay the Base
Rent and  Additional  Rent and other sums and  charges  payable  hereunder  with
respect  to the  portion  of the  Demised  Premises  that  were not  damaged  or
destroyed,  or from any of Tenant's  other  obligations  under this  Lease,  and
Tenant hereby waives any rights now or hereafter conferred upon it by statute or
otherwise to cancel or surrender  this Lease or to quit or surrender the Demised
Premises,  or any part thereof, or to any suspension,  diminution,  abatement or
reduction  of Base Rent or  Additional  Rent with  respect to the portion of the
Demised  Premises  that were not  damaged or  destroyed,  on account of any such
destruction or damage,  except as otherwise provided in this Lease.  Tenant will
obtain  insurance with respect to its obligations  under this Lease, of the type
known as rent insurance or loss of business insurance.

     D. If there shall be less than sixty (60) days  remaining to the end of the
Lease term hereunder  (including any extensions thereto as to which Tenant shall
have given Landlord the notice  required by Article 2B, 2C, or 2D),  Tenant may,
in lieu of making such repair and  restoration  terminate this Lease upon thirty
(30) days prior  written  notice to Landlord  without  penalty and the otherwise
applicable  provisions of this Lease regarding  terminations shall be applied as
if the Lease had otherwise  terminated  on such date.  Tenant shall in such case
promptly  remit to Landlord any  insurance  proceeds and payments  received as a
result of such damage or destruction.

     16.  Comprehensive  General Public Liability  Insurance,  Steam Boiler, War
Damage, Sprinkler and Rent and other Insurance


     11 A. Tenant also  covenants to obtain for the benefit of Landlord,  at its
sole cost and expense, comprehensive general public liability insurance coverage
of the Demised Premises,  including the sidewalks, alleys, curbs, and vaults, if
any,  adjoining the Demised  Premises,  in the customary  form,  from  insurance
companies  satisfying  the  requirements  of  Article  15  hereof,  in limits of
liability  (including  coverage under umbrella  liability  policies) of not less
than  $2,000,000  per  occurrence  for  property  damage,  and to pay all of the
premiums thereon.

     B.  Tenant,  at its sole cost and  expense,  during the entire term of this
Lease  will  have  professional   insurance   commercially  available  (such  as
malpractice  insurance or liability  insurance) covering Landlord and Tenant for
any act of Tenant dealing with its activities in the premises.

     C. Tenant will also obtain insurance with respect to its obligations


<PAGE>



under this lease,  of the type known as rent  insurance or loss of business
insurance.

     D. All policies required to be obtained by Tenant under this Article or the
preceding  Article  shall name  Landlord  as  additional  insured and the Tenant
agrees to deliver to Landlord the original of such policies.  Such policies will
contain a provision that same may not be canceled without giving to the Landlord
at least thirty (30) days prior written notice.

17.     Compliance With Insurance Requirements

     Tenant shall promptly  perform and comply with the requirements of all fire
and liability  insurance  carriers  obtained by Landlord within thirty (30) days
after written  notice from  Landlord,  either  personally or by certified  mail,
return receipt requested.

18.     Waiver of rights to Redeem

     Except as otherwise  expressly  provided  herein,  Tenant hereby  expressly
waives any and all right to redeem the Demised  Premises  under Sections 761 and
763, or any  amendments,  changes and  additions  thereto,  of the Real Property
Actions  and  Proceeding  Law of the  State  of New York or  otherwise,  after a
warrant of dispossess shall have been made or entered, or by virtue of any other
statute, law or decision of like import or effect now or hereafter in force.

19.      Total Condemnation

     If, at any time during the term hereof,  the whole of the Demised  Premises
shall be taken for any public or  quasi-public  use,  under any  statute,  or by
right of eminent  domain,  or if any part of said Demised  Premises  shall be so
taken  and the part  not so  taken  shall  be  insufficient,  in the  reasonable
judgment of Tenant,  for the  operation  of Tenant's  business,  then this Lease
shall  immediately  cease and terminate,  and the Base Rent and Additional  Rent
payable under this Lease shall be equitably  apportioned and paid to the time of
such termination, and Tenant shall not be responsible for any payment of rent or
other obligation under this Lease after such termination.

     In the event of such total condemnation,  the entire award shall become the
property of the  Landlord,  and Tenant  access that it shall not be entitled to,
nor shall it, file a claim for any portion of

                                       12

such award. Nothing herein contained shall prevent Tenant from applying for
an award  for the  unamortized  value of  Tenant's  leasehold  improvements  and
Tenant's   relocation  and  moving  expenses  (or  from  joining  in  Landlord's
application  for such award),  provided that such award to Tenant does not cause
the diminution or reduction of the award otherwise payable to Landlord.

20.     Partial Condemnation

     A. If any buildings or  improvements  now or hereafter  constructed  on the
Demised  Premises shall be damaged or partially  destroyed by any such taking of
less than the whole or  materially  all thereof,  then except as herein above or
after specifically provided,  this Lease shall continue in full force and effect
as to the part not so  taken,  and the Base  Rent  shall be  reduced  by  mutual
a-agreement  of the parties,  and if the parties  fail to mutually  agree upon a
fair Base Rent, the matter shall be determined by arbitration in accordance with
Article 34 hereof.  Tenant shall give prompt  notice  thereof to  Landlord,  and
shall proceed with reasonable  diligence to conduct any necessary demolition and
to repair and restore,  at its own cost and expense,  any remaining  part of any
building and improvements not so taken, so as to constitute such remaining part


<PAGE>



or parts  thereof a  complete,  rentable  building  in good  condition  and
repair, provided, however, that Tenant shall not be required to make any repairs
or restoration hereunder until the condemnation award shall have first been paid
or disbursed in accordance with the terms of this Article.


     B. If there shall be less than sixty (60) days  remaining to the end of the
Lease term hereunder  (including any extensions thereto as to which Tenant shall
have given Landlord the notice required by Article 2B, 2C or 2D), Tenant may, in
lieu of making  such repair and  restoration  tenant this Lease upon thirty (30)
days  prior  written  notice  to  Landlord  without  penalty  and the  otherwise
applicable  provisions of this Lease regarding  terminations shall be applied as
if the Lease had otherwise  terminated  on such date.  Tenant shall in such case
promptly  remit to Landlord any  insurance  proceeds and payments  received as a
result of such damage, destruction or taking.

21.      Evidence of Payment By Landlord: Tenant's Right to Cure

     A.  Provided  Tenant  has  complied  with  all  the  terms,  covenants  and
conditions of this Lease on Tenant's part to be performed,  the Landlord  agrees
to  exhibit  to  Tenant,  upon  demand  therefor,  evidence  of  payment  of the
installments of principal and interest under the bonds and/or mortgages covering
the said premises, and of taxes and of other impositions.

     B. In the event Landlord  shall at any time fail to pay any  installment of
principal or interest upon any mortgage  which shall  constitute a lien upon the
Demised  Premises or any other charge or sum not required by the  provisions  of
the Lease to be paid by  Tenant,  or in the  event  that a lien is placed on the
Demised Premises by any municipal,  state or federal agency, or any other party,
due to the failure of the Landlord, or party or parties collectively  comprising
the Landlord, or its assigns to discharge any and all obligations not assumed by
Tenant under this Lease,  including,  but not limited to, Article 54 hereof, and
if such failure to pay such sum or lien shall constitute a threat to the


                                       13

right of Tenant to enjoy the use of the Demised Premises, Tenant shall have
the right  forthwith  to pay the  amount due if it so elects  together  with any
costs or  interest  payable in  connection  therewith  and Tenant may deduct the
amount of such payment  together with interest from the date of Tenant's payment
from the rental next  becoming due under the  provisions of this Lease until the
amount of the  credit to which  Tenant  shall be  entitled  shall be  exhausted.
Tenant, upon making such payment, shall be entitled subject to the provisions of
the laws  applicable  thereto,  to be  subrogated to the rights of the holder of
such  payment  for or on behalf of the  Landlord.  Tenant  shall  first  give to
Landlord  five (5) business  days written  notice by certified  mail (unless the
time  available to make such payment is shorter),  of its intention to make such
payment on behalf of the Landlord  and if the Landlord  fails within such period
to cure its default, Tenant may make same as provided above.

22.     Mortgages - Subordination

     A. This Lease, the lien thereof on the Demised Premises,  and all rights of
Tenant  hereunder,  and of any persons  claiming  under or through  Tenant,  are
subject and subordinate to existing or future mortgages or leases which shall be
liens  upon  the  premises  and to any  other  mortgages  or  leases  and to any
renewals,  modifications,  consolidations,  extensions or  replacements  of such
mortgages  or leases  although  such  mortgage  or  mortgages  may exceed in the
aggregate the original  principal  amounts of the mortgages which shall be liens
upon the premises at the time of the execution of the Lease, provided,  however,
that the aggregate  annual  amount of principal and interest  payments on all of
such mortgages (exclusive of the final


<PAGE>



principal payment) shall not exceed eighty (80%) percent of the annual Base
Rent.  Landlord  will use its best efforts to obtain the agreement of the holder
of any such  existing  or  future  mortgages  either  not to  disturb  the quiet
enjoyment  of Tenant  hereunder  as a result of any  default by  Landlord  or to
accept payment from Tenant to cure any such default by Landlord.

     B. This a-agreement of  subordination  shall be  self-operative  but Tenant
covenants and agrees on demand at any time or times, to execute, acknowledge and
deliver to Landlord, any and all instruments which may be necessary or proper to
subordinate  this Lease and Tenant's right hereunder to the lien or liens of any
such mortgage or lease or renewal, modification,  consolidation,  replacement or
extension.  Tenant hereby  authorizes  and empowers  Landlord to make,  execute,
acknowledge  and deliver the same as attorney in fact of Tenant  coupled with an
interest in Tenant's name,  place and stead upon ten (10) days written notice to
Tenant, the Tenant hereby making,  constituting and appointing  Landlord and its
successors and assigns as attorney in fact for that purpose.

     C.  Landlord  will either  provide  Tenant with (i) a copy of any  existing
mortgage  upon the Demised  Premises,  as well as of any renewal,  modification,
consolidation,   extension  or  replacement   thereof  or  the  (ii)  a  written
description  of  Landlord's  obligations  under  any  such  mortgage,   renewal,
modification,  consolidation,  extension or replacement thereof. Tenant warrants
it will not perform any act or do anything  which will cause a default under any
such  mortgage or of any  renewal,  modification,  consolidation,  extension  or
replacement  thereof  Whenever the  obligations  of Landlord  (mortgagor) to the
holder of such  mortgages or of such  renewals,  modifications,  consolidations,
extensions or replacements  require Landlord (mortgagor) to perform an act or do
a thing which coincides with an act or thing which Tenant is herein obligated to
Landlord to perform or do, Tenant warrants to perform said act or to do

                                       14


said  thing.  Anything  in any  provision  of this  Lease  to the  contrary
notwithstanding,  if the time given to Landlord by holders of said  mortgages or
such renewals,  modifications,  consolidations,  extensions or  replacements  to
perform said act or to do said thing is shorter than the time given to Tenant by
this  Lease to perform or do the same act or thing,  then if  Landlord  promptly
gives Tenant notification of any notice given to Landlord in respect of said act
or thing by the holder of said  mortgages  or by the  holders of such  renewals,
modifications,  consolidations, extensions or replacements, Tenant shall perform
said act or do said thing  within the time  specified  in the notice so given by
the holder of any  mortgage  or by the holder of such  renewals,  modifications,
consolidations,  extensions or replacements. If Tenant fails to perform said act
or do said thing.,  within the time as  specified,  and Tenant has not commenced
and  proceeded to remedy such act or thing,  Landlord may enter the premises and
perform  said  act or do said  thing  without  further  notice.  There  shall be
applicable  thereto all the provisions hereof in respect of Landlord  performing
said acts and/or doing said things at the expense of Tenant and recovering  said
expenses from Tenant as Additional Rent.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary,  Tenant shall be under no obligation to make any payments hereunder if
the total of such payments would exceed Tenant's obligation to pay Base Rent and
Additional Rent to Landlord.

23.     Default

     A. Any one or more of the following events shall be deemed to be "Events of
Default" under this Lease:

     (i) if this Lease or the estate of Tenant  hereunder  shall be transferred,
assigned,  subleased or  mortgaged to any person or party,  except in the manner
herein permitted, subject to Tenant's right to cure such Event of Default within
thirty (30) days thereof, or



<PAGE>



     (ii) if Tenant shall default in making  payment of any  installment of Base
Rent or  Additional  Rent or other sums or  charges,  as and when the same shall
become due under and payable  and/or  required to be  deposited  by Tenant under
this lease,  and such  default  shall  continue for a period of twenty (20) days
after written notice given by Landlord; or

     (iii) if Tenant shall materially fail to perform any of its obligations and
any such default  shall  continue for a period of thirty (30) days after written
notice by Landlord,  except that,  in connection  with a default not  consisting
solely  of the  payment  of rent and not  susceptible  of being  cured  with due
diligence,  the applicable cure period,  the time of Tenant within which to cure
the same,  shall be extended  for such time as may be necessary to cure the same
with reasonable  diligence,  provided Tenant shall commence promptly and proceed
diligently to cure the same; or

     (iv) an execution or attachment shall be issued against Tenant's  leasehold
estate,  and such  execution  or  attachment  shall not be vacated or removed by
court order, bonding or otherwise,  within a period of sixty (60) days after the
issuance thereof





                                       15


     B. Upon the  occurrence  of an Event of Default,  the Landlord  may, at its
election,  and in addition to any other remedies available to it under law or in
accordance with any other provision of this Lease,  serve a written ten (10) day
notice of cancellation  and termination of this Lease upon Tenant,  and upon the
expiration of said ten (10) days (during which time Tenant may cure any monetary
default,  together with interest, if any, accrued thereon in accordance with the
provisions  of  this  Lease,  and  thereby  nullify  any  such  cancellation  or
termination  based  only upon such  monetary  default),  the Lease and the terms
hereunder shall  ten-terminate and expire as fully and completely as if the date
of  expiration of such ten (10) day period were the day herein fixed for the end
and expiration of this Lease and the term thereof, and Tenant in such case shall
then quit and surrender to Landlord the Demised Premises and each and every part
thereof and Landlord may enter into or repossess  the Demised  Premises each and
every part  thereof,  either by force,  summary  proceedings  or  otherwise.  No
cancellation  and  termination  of this Lease under this Article  shall  relieve
Tenant of its  liability  and  obligations  to pay the Base Rent and  Additional
Rent, and other sums and charges theretofore accrued or thereafter accruing, and
such liability and obligations shall survive any such expiration or termination.

     C. All sums which  Tenant has  agreed to pay by way of real  estate  taxes,
maintenance  and all  other  sums  and  charges  required  to be paid by  Tenant
hereunder,  becoming due from time to time under the terms of this Lease,  shall
all be deemed  Additional Rent reserved in this Lease within the meaning of this
Article.

     In the event this Lease is  terminated  by Landlord  pursuant to any of the
provisions  of this  Article or  otherwise  terminated  pursuant  to any express
provision  of this  Lease,  Landlord  shall be  entitled  to retain  and set off
against  its  damages  any  proceeds  being held as  deposits  or as trust funds
hereunder.

     D. In the event of any  termination  of this Lease,  whether the same be by
expiration,  cancellation,  surrender  or by  operation of law, by issuance of a
dispossessory  warrant,  or by service of notice of cancellation and termination
as herein provided, Landlord may at any time re-enter the Demised Premises using
such  force  for that  purpose  as may be  necessary  without  being  liable  to
prosecution  therefor,  and  thereupon  Landlord  shall be  entitled  to  retain
possession of the Demised Premises free from any estate or interest of Tenant


<PAGE>



therein.

     E. Tenant hereby expressly waives the service of any notice of intention to
re-enter  provided in any statute or of the institution of legal proceedings for
such  purpose  and Tenant for and on behalf of itself and all  persons  claiming
through or under  Tenant,  including  any  assignee or creditor of Tenant,  also
waives any and all right of redemption or re-entry or repossession or to restore
the  operation  of this Lease in case Tenant  shall be  dispossessed  by summary
proceedings or otherwise or in case of reentry or repossession by Landlord or in
case of any  expiration  or  termination  of this Lease in  accordance  with its
terms.  The term  "enter",  "entry",  "re-enter"  as used in this  Lease are not
restricted to their technical legal meaning.

     F. Except as  otherwise  provided in this  Article,  no receipt of funds by
Landlord from Tenant after the termination or cancellation

                                       16



hereof in any lawful manner shall  reinstate,  continue or extend the term,
or affect any notice  theretofore given to Tenant, or operate as a waiver of the
right of Landlord to enforce the payment of Base Rent, and Additional  Rent, and
other sums and charges then due or which thereafter  become due, or operate as a
waiver of the right of Landlord to recover possession of the Demised Premises by
proper suit, action, proceedings or other remedy, it being agreed that (i) after
the service of notice of cancellation and termination as herein  provided;  (ii)
after the  commencement  of any suit,  action,  proceedings or other remedy;  or
(iii) after a final order or judgment for  possession  of the Demised  Premises,
Landlord may demand,  receive and collect any funds which thereafter become due,
without in any manner affecting such notice, suit, action, proceedings, order of
judgment;  and any and all such  proceeds  so  collected  shall be  deemed to be

     2.1.4 No Defaults Under Agreements. CSC is not in default, nor is there any

lease, loan agreement,  license,  security  agreement,  agreement,  governmental
license or pen-nit,  or other  agreement or instrument to which it is a party or

threatened,  any action,  suit, or proceeding to which CSC is a party, before or

or any such action, suit, or proceeding related to environmental or civil rights
matters;  and no labor disturbance by the employees of civil rights matters; and

its obligations under this Agreement.

plumbing,  heating,  ventilating and air conditioning  system,  drives,  parking
areas, fixed furniture fixtures and equipment,  fire protection systems,  wiring
and  electrical  systems,  to keep the Facility in good repair working order and

expense,  replace all light bulbs and ballasts as necessary,  be responsible for
janitorial and cleaning services at the Facility and perform routine maintenance
and repairs at the Facility  resulting  from normal wear and tear.  In addition,
CSC agrees to repair any and all damage to the Facility caused by the use of the
Facility by CSC, its employees, detainees or visitors, except to the extent such
damage is covered by insurance maintained by the County, in which event CSC will
repair such damage and the County shall pay CSC insurance  proceeds  received by
the County in connection  with such damages,  not to exceed CSC's actual cost of
repair.

     Within  thirty  (30) days after the date  hereof,  the County and CSC shall
make  a  list  of the  personal  property,  fixtures,  furniture  and  equipment
presently  located at the  Facility and divide such  property  into two separate
categories:  (1)  "non-accountable  property",  which may be used by CSC without
need to replace or repair same,  and (2)  "accountable  property",  which may be
used by CSC but shall be  repaired or  replaced  by CSC and  maintained  in good
working order and condition by CSC. Upon the  termination  or expiration of this
Agreement, the "accountable property" shall be delivered by CSC to the County in
good working condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted.

required for the  operation of the entire  Facility  such as  electricity,  gas,
water and sewer.  The County  agrees to pay for waste and trash removal and pest
control  services to the Facility.  It is  understood  that the County may use a
portion of the  Facility as set forth in Section  4.6 below.  CSC and the County
will each maintain  separate  telephone systems and each will be responsible for
the cost of their own telephone service.

limitations based upon security of the Facility and its residents,  and with the
exception of the secure  residential  areas of the Facility,  the Juvenile Board
shall be permitted to use the Facility for appropriate  juvenile  activities and
programs,  subject to advance  scheduling  with CSC in a manner which will cause
minimal disruption to CSC operations.  In the event any additional  construction
or improvements are made on the surrounding  County owned land, the County shall
have the right to use such additional space in its entirety  without  limitation

Re:      Request for Sealed Proposals (RFP) No. 6702
         Agreement #DC-PO-PRIV-96/97-6790


    Dear Mr. Rau:

Anthony Zelenak,  Lead Project Director in the Departments  Facility  Activation
Bureau,  has examined the two surveys of the 18 acre land parcel and has advised
that the following information needs to be provided.

The Hollenbach Survey Company,  Inc., sealed survey #96-03649 (A) dated December
1996, and the accompanying  legal  description  also sealed,  have been reviewed
against the unsealed  Arrinaton  Watkins  Architects (AWA) survey.  The area and
location  described  by both are  identical.  The major  difference  is that the
Hollenbach survey is based on the G7SRM and was not adjusted or rotated to match
the Pinal County  Coordinate  System  (north side of property to match the north
line of the southeast quarter of section 36). CSC needs to direct the Hollenbach
Survey Company to add a table of equivalent bearings to the survey for each side
of the property  comparing the bearings  shown on the survey with the equivalent
rotated bearing to match the Pinal County Coordinate System. This survey must be
sealed  and an  explanation  describing  the  need for the  table of  equivalent
bearing needs to be evident on the survey.

This  will  provide  clarity  with the deed when it is  compared  to the AWA DNA
Survey  which will become part of the  "Contract  Documents"  for the project as
such documents are defined in the




<PAGE>



Fourteenth  Edition of the AIA Document A201 - General  Conditions for contracts
for construction.

Please  ensure the  Hollenbach  sealed survey to include the table of equivalent
bearings is forwarded to my  attention  by no later than  Tuesday,  December 24,
1996.

In  addition,  please  note  that in  accordance  with  terms of the  referenced
contract,  CSC must  provide the  Department  with the  following  documentation
before the  Department  will issue the Notice to Proceed  once the  contract  is
executed:

construction.

Spangler or me at (602) 542-3245.

MEMORANDUM

DATE:            November 1, 1996

TO:              Mary Laverdure, Contracts Administrator Department
                 of Corrections

FROM:            Kurt Wilian, Insurance Analyst

SUBJECT:         RFP 6702 Correctional Services Corp.




Mary, this is to confirm our  conversation  today.  We have received  acceptable
documentation  and evidence of insurance  coverage from the above contractor and
can confirm they comply with the RFP Attachment #7 at this time.

As we proceed we will want to monitor two areas:

1) They must provide Risk Management  with acceptable  certificates of insurance
for  Professional  Liability  coverage for those  positions which they intend to
out- source, and are excluded from the CSC program,  specifically,  surgeons and
lawyers;

2) They must comply with your guidelines to submit public financial  information
on an interim  basis,  with  compliance  of the  contract  subject to an ongoing
approval of their financial condition.

Mary, I appreciate your patience and support of Risk
Management through this process

5.1      CSC shall construct the secure prison's infrastructure and
         support systems as soon as possible in accordance with the
         segments of time specified in CSC's milestone chart as
         submitted on November 6, 1996.  The Department may declare
         an Event of Default, as permitted by Article X of this
         Agreement, if any time segment specified in CSC's milestone
         chart is not met and a Force Majeure occurrence has not been
         declared.

5.1.1      The secure prison shall be constructed by CSC's architect
           and construction contractor in accordance with the Contract
           Documents for the project as defined in the Fourteenth
           Edition of the AIA Document A201 - General Conditions for
           contracts for construction, as well as Department
           requirements and applicable laws, rules, standard, codes,
           etc., as specified in Article III, Paragraph 3.5. 1.
           Simultaneous submission of the Contract Documents by CSC to
           the local planning and zoning office and to the Deputy Director shall
           occur. The secure prison shall be located on an 18 acre site in Pinal
           County  within the city limits of  Florence,  Arizona as described in
           Article III and shall have,, at least:

5.1.1.2        One 14 foot loop top perimeter  fence with  "no-climb"  (1/4 inch
               hardware  cloth)  at the  top six (6)  feet of the  fence  on the
               inside.  The mesh at the bottom of the fence shall be embedded in
               a concrete base.

             5.1.2.3       Eighteen inch (18") razor wire on the top of the
             fence at feast at , those points where the perimeter fence
             abuts to a building and where. fences adjoin the
             perimeter.

5.1.3.4        Adequate  security  to ensure  that  inmates  remain  within  the
               perimeter and to prevent access by the general public.

5.1.4.5        Secure locks on all outside doors.

5.1.5.6    A par course.

5.2      Notwithstanding  the milestone chart referenced in Paragraph 5.1 above,
         CSC shall, after receipt of notice to proceed from the Department,  use
         due  diligence to construct  the secure  prison  within the stated time
         frames.

5.2.1      It is understood that the CSC proposal was submitted and
           contract award was made with the understanding that the




<PAGE>



           Town of  Florence  sewer  system  would serve the secure  prison.  On
           November 5, 1996 CSC and the Department received notice from the Town
           of Florence that there was not adequate  capacity within the existing
           sewer lines to  accommodate  the secure prison as well as other users
           and, that until the problem was resolved by the Town of Florence, the
           secure  prison  could not be  connected  to the sewer  system.  It is
           mutually  agreed that it is critical to both parties for this project
           to  progress  in a  timely  manner.  CSC will  work  with the Town of
           Florence  toward a  solution  that  allows  the  secure  prison to be
           connected to the Florence  sewer  system.  There shall be no costs to
           the Department for CSC to rectify this problem.

5.2.2      The secure prison shall be constructed solely for the
           purpose of housing and the treatment of inmates assigned to
           the secure prison by the Department.  CSC shall not house
           other jurisdictions within the secure prison and shall not
           in any way alter the size, configuration or mission of the
           secure prison nor allow the perimeter fence of the secure
           prison to be adjoined to another facility without a formal
           amendment to this Agreement.

           Contracts  Administration Office via the assigned Department Monitor,
           one copy of each approval required by statute or regulation  received
           from a regulatory agency and one
           copy of each waiver granted.

5.2.4      When  notified  in writing by CSC that the secure  prison is ready to
           receive  inmates,  the Department  shall  transport a mutually agreed
           number of  inmates  to the secure  prison at agreed  upon  intervals.
           CSC's  written  notice shall be directed to the Deputy  Director,  or
           designee  with a copy to the  Department's  Contracts  Administration
           Office.

5.2.4.1 The number of inmates  delivered  shall be determined by the  Department
with  consideration of the capability of CSC and the secure prison to accept the
inmates,  e.g.,  receipt of  certificate of  substantial  completion  from CSC's
architect,  prison capacity, adequate staffing levels, adequate security systems
and - inmate management services to accommodate the inmates.

5.2.5      Subsequent to initial occupancy, the Department shall deliver inmates
           as CSC notifies the Department Monitor of availability of beds.

               5.3.1.1 If the secure  prison is damaged or  destroyed by fire or
               acts of nature  during the term of this  Agreement,  CSC shall be
               responsible  for all costs to  rebuild,  restore  or  repair  the
               secure  prison,  including  costs  to  relocate  and  manage  the
               assigned inmates during repair or restoration. CSC relocation and
               management of the assigned inmates shall be subject to Department
               approval.

5.3.2      CSC shall be responsible  for all costs to correct  potential or real
           risks as such  relate to the secure  prison  structure  or the secure
           perimeter.

5.4 CSC shall provide buildings equipment, materials and personnel necessary for
the housing of assigned inmates as well as for the maintenance and repair of the
secure prison.

         5.5 The Department  shall have sole  authority to determine:  (i) which
         inmates  shall be assigned to the secure  prison;  and (ii)  whether an
         inmate  shall  be  removed  from  the  secure   prison  after   initial
         assignment.  Such  determinations  may be based on, among other things,
         the Department's inmate  classification  system, the screening criteria
         relative to the secure prison, the committing- offense and the inmate's
         ability to  participate  in CSC  treatment  program  as each  factor is
         applicable to RTC or DUI inmates.
