CoreCivic is a renowned American private prison corporation that provides correctional, detention, and residential reentry services. The company has its headquarters in Nashville, Tennessee. CoreCivic can trace its roots back to 1983 when it was established as Corrections Corporation of America (CCA) by Thomas W.

Beasley, a former chairman of the Tennessee Republican Party and Doctor T. Don Hutto, a gubernatorial candidate. It was the first company to establish private prisons in the United States.

In 2003, the company rebranded itself as CoreCivic to reflect its expanded services beyond just corrections. The company offers a wide range of products and services, including the operation of correctional and detention facilities, inmate transportation services, and post-release community supervision and treatment programs. It aims to help government partners manage their facilities more effectively and efficiently, while also providing programs to reduce recidivism rates among inmates.

CoreCivic operates not only within the United States but also on a global scale. The company has several notable subsidiaries, including CoreCivic Properties and CoreCivic Community. CoreCivic Properties specializes in building and maintaining correctional and detention facilities, while CoreCivic Community focuses on providing residential reentry centers.

As of now, CoreCivic is a major player in the private prison industry both domestically and internationally. It competes with other prominent companies such as GEO Group and MTC (Management and Training Corporation) for government contracts to manage correctional and detention facilities. In terms of sales, CoreCivic has been a profitable company, generating substantial revenue from its diversified portfolio of correctional and detention services.

This market position has been bolstered by the company's strategic partnerships with various government agencies at federal, state, and local levels. Despite its success, CoreCivic has faced significant criticism and controversy surrounding its business model and practices. Critics argue that the privatization of prisons can exacerbate issues such as over-incarceration and inadequate inmate care.

As of the latest information available, CoreCivic continues to operate and expand its services, adapting its practices to meet the evolving needs of the criminal justice system. The company remains committed to its mission of providing innovative solutions to government partners and striving for positive community impact through its correctional and reentry programs
