                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)

1.       SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting policies followed for the quarterly financial reporting are the
same as those disclosed in Note 2 of the Notes To Consolidated Financial
Statements included in the Corporation's Form 10-K filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on March 28, 1997 for the fiscal years ended December
29, 1996, December 31, 1995, and January 1, 1995. Certain prior year amounts
have been reclassified to conform with current year financial statement
presentation.

2.       EARNINGS PER SHARE

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share"
requires the disclosure of basic and diluted earnings per share for periods
ending after December 15, 1997. The computation under SFAS No. 128 differs from
the primary and fully diluted earnings per share computed under APB Opinion No.
15 primarily in the manner in which potential common stock is treated. Basic
earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average
number of common shares outstanding. In the computation of diluted earnings per
share, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding is adjusted for
the effect of all potential common stock.

The basic and diluted earnings per share computed according to SFAS No. 128 for
the quarter ended March 31, 1996 do not differ from the primary earnings per
share reported on the consolidated statements of income. The basic and diluted
earnings per share computed according to SFAS No. 128 for the quarter ended
March 30, 1997 are $0.12 and $0.11, respectively.

3.       DOMESTIC AND INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS

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

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Reference is made to Item 7, Part II of the Corporation's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 1996, filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on March 28, 1997, for further discussion and analysis of
information pertaining to the Corporation's results of operations, liquidity
and capital resources.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

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

FIRST QUARTER 1997 COMPARED TO FIRST QUARTER 1996:

Revenues increased by 40.1% to $41.2 million in the thirteen weeks ended March
30, 1997 ("First Quarter 1997") from $29.4 million in the thirteen weeks ended
March 31, 1996 ("First Quarter 1996"). The increase in revenues in First
Quarter 1997 compared to First Quarter 1996 is primarily attributable to
increased compensated resident days resulting from the opening of two
facilities in the first half of 1996 (Willacy County Unit, Willacy County,
Texas in January 1996, and Marshall County Correctional Facility, Marshall
County, Mississippi in June 1996), the assumption of operational responsibility
for an existing facility (Delaware County Prison, Delaware County, Pennsylvania
in April 1996) and the opening of five facilities in the First Quarter of 1997
(South Bay Correctional Facility, South Bay, Florida in February 1997, Travis
County Community Justice Center, Travis County, Texas in March 1997, Bayamon
Regional Detention Center, Bayamon, Puerto Rico in March 1997, Queens Private
Correctional Facility, Queens, New York in March 1997 and Fulham Correctional
Center, Victoria, Australia in March 1997).

The number of compensated resident days in domestic facilities increased 51.3%
to 963,788 in First Quarter 1997 from 636,821 in First Quarter 1996.
Compensated resident days in Australian facilities decreased to 107,198 from
111,748 for the comparable periods. As a result of the increase in compensated
resident days, the average facility occupancy in domestic facilities increased
to 97.4% of capacity in First Quarter 1997 compared to 96.3% in the same period
in First Quarter 1996.

Operating expenses increased by 40.1% to $34.4 million in First Quarter 1997
compared to $24.6 million in First Quarter 1996. This increase primarily
reflected the eight facilities that were opened in 1996 and 1997, as described
above.

Depreciation and amortization increased by 37.3% to $1.1 million in First
Quarter 1997 from $836,000 in First Quarter 1996. This increase is primarily
attributable to the increase in deferred charge amortization resulting from the
opening of the three facilities in 1996.

Contribution from operations increased 40.5% to $5.7 million in First Quarter
1997 from $4.0 million in First Quarter 1996 due primarily to the opening of
two facilities in the first half of 1996, the opening of the South Bay
Correctional Facility in February 1997, and improved occupancy at the Central
Texas Parole Violator Facility in San Antonio, Texas.

                       WACKENHUT CORRECTIONS CORPORATION

General and administrative expenses increased by 3.6% to $2.4 million in First
Quarter 1997 from $2.3 million in First Quarter 1996. As a percentage of
revenues general and administrative expenses decreased to 5.8% in the First
Quarter 1997 from 7.9% in the First Quarter 1996.

Operating income increased by 90.3% to $3.3 million in First Quarter 1997 from
$1.7 million in First Quarter 1996. As described above, the opening of four
facilities and improved occupancy at the Central Texas Parole Violator Facility
were the principal factors contributing to the increase in operating income
during First Quarter 1997.

Income before taxes and equity income of affiliate increased by 61.2% to $3.8
million in First Quarter 1997 from $2.4 million in First Quarter 1996 due to
the factors described above.

Provision for income taxes increased to $1.5 million in First Quarter 1997 from
$934,000 in First Quarter 1996 due to higher taxable income.

Equity income of affiliates was $246,000 in First Quarter 1997 compared to
$42,000 in First Quarter 1996. Current and prior year performance reflects the
activities of Premier Prison Services, the UK joint venture. Current year
income results from two expansions at the H.M. Prison Doncaster (Doncaster,
England) in 1996 and one expansion during the First Quarter of 1997 and income
earned from two court escort contracts that commenced operations in May 1996.

Net income increased by 75.8% to $2.6 million in First Quarter 1997 from $1.5
million in First Quarter 1996 as a result of the factors described above.
