PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

THE COMPANY

Wackenhut Corrections Corporation ("the Company"), a 57% owned subsidiary of The
Wackenhut Corporation ("TWC"), is an industry leader in the privatization of
correctional facilities throughout the world. The Company was founded in 1984 as
a division of TWC, a leading provider of professional security services. In
1986, the Company received its first contract, from the United States
Immigration and Naturalization Service (the "INS"), to design, construct and
manage a detention facility with a design capacity of 150 beds. As of December
31, 2000, the Company had 57 correctional, detention and healthcare facilities
either under contract or award with an aggregate design capacity of 39,944 beds.
At December 31, 2000, of these 57 facilities, 51 are currently in operation, and
six are being developed by the Company. Of the facilities being developed, three
are expected to commence operations during 2001 (two in the first quarter and
one in the third quarter). In addition, at December 31, 2000, the Company had
outstanding written responses to Requests for Proposal ("RFPs") for five
projects with an aggregate design capacity of 4,755 beds.

The Company offers governmental agencies a comprehensive range of correctional
and related institutional services to federal, state, local and overseas
government agencies. Correctional services include the management of a broad
spectrum of facilities, including male and female adult facilities; juvenile
facilities; community corrections; work programs; prison industries; substance
abuse treatment facilities; and mental health, geriatric and other special
purpose institutions. Other management contracts include psychiatric health
care, electronic home monitoring, prisoner transportation, correctional health
services, and facility maintenance. The Company has an in-house capability for
the design and construction of new facilities, and offers a full privatization
package to government agencies, to include financing. The Company believes that
its experience in delivering governmental agencies high quality, cost-effective
correctional and related institutional services provides such agencies strong
incentive to select the Company when renewing and awarding contracts.

On November 1, 1998, the Company began management of the 350-bed South Florida
State Psychiatric Hospital, representing a historic milestone for public sector
mental health services and a significant diversification of the Company's
service offerings. In December 2000, the Company completed construction at the
site of the new South Florida State Psychiatric Hospital and successfully moved
all operations to the new facility.

The Company has obtained and is pursuing construction and management contracts
for correctional and detention facilities outside the United States and
presently operates facilities in Europe, Australia and New Zealand. Through its
wholly-owned subsidiary in Australia, Wackenhut Corrections Corporation
Australia Pty Limited ("WCCA"), the Company manages five correctional centres,
six immigration detention centres and one correctional Health Care Services
entity. In the United Kingdom, the Company formed two joint ventures to pursue
construction and management contracts for privatized correctional and detention
facilities. Premier Custodial Group Limited ("PCG"), a joint venture with Serco
Limited, currently manages five correctional facilities, two court escort
contracts and two electronic monitoring services contracts and will commence
management of one additional correctional facility in 2001. Under court escort
contracts, a private company, on behalf of a governmental agency, transports
prisoners between police stations, prisons and courts and is responsible for the
custody of such prisoners during transportation and court appearances.
Electronic monitoring services involve the electronic tagging of offenders

sentenced to home incarceration. In February 1994, through Wackenhut Corrections
(UK) Limited, the Company formed Premier Custodial Development ("PCD"), as a
joint venture with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Skanska Construction UK Limited
(formerly Kvaerner Construction Limited, formerly Trafalgar House Construction
Special Projects Limited) for the design and construction of new detention
facilities and prisons. The Company expects that PCD will bid with PCG for the
design, construction management and finance of new correctional and detention
facilities in the United Kingdom.

In the majority of contracts, the Company manages facilities owned or leased by
a governmental agency. The agency may finance the construction of such
facilities through various methods including, but not limited to, the following:
(i) a one time general revenue appropriation by the governmental agency for the
cost of the new facility; (ii) general obligation bonds that are secured by
either a limited or unlimited tax levy by the issuing entity; or (iii) lease
revenue bonds or certificates of participation secured by an annual lease
payment that is subject to annual or bi-annual legislative appropriations. In
some instances, the Company may be required to own and/or finance the facility.
The construction of these facilities will be financed through various methods
including, but not limited to the following: (i) funds from equity offerings of
the Company's stock; (ii) borrowings from banks or other institutions; or (iii)
lease arrangements with third parties.

The Company was incorporated in Florida in April, 1988. The Company's principal
executive offices are located at 4200 Wackenhut Drive #100, Palm Beach Gardens,
Florida 33410-4243, and its telephone number is (561) 622-5656.

See the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements on pages F12 through F15 and
Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on pages F22 and F23 of the
Company's 2000 Annual Report to Shareholders for financial information regarding
domestic and international operations.

CERTAIN FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

Prospective investors should carefully consider the following factors that may
affect future results, together with the other information contained in this
Annual Report on Form 10-K, in evaluating the Company and its business before
purchasing its securities. In particular, prospective investors should note that
this Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and that actual
results could differ materially from those contemplated by such statements. See
"Safe Harbor Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995" below. The factors listed below represent certain important factors the
Company believes could cause such results to differ. These factors are not
intended to represent a complete list of the general or specific risks that may
affect the Company. It should be recognized that other risks may be significant,
presently or in the future, and the risks set forth below may affect the Company
to a greater extent than indicated.

REVENUE AND PROFIT GROWTH DEPENDENT ON EXPANSION. The Company's growth will
depend to a significant degree upon its ability to obtain additional
construction and management contracts and to retain existing management
contracts. The Company's growth is generally dependent on the construction and
management of new correctional and detention facilities, since contracts to
manage existing public facilities are not typically offered to private
operators. The rate of construction of new facilities and, therefore, the
Company's potential for growth will depend on a number of factors, including
crime rates and sentencing patterns in countries in which the Company operates,
governmental and public acceptance of the concept of privatization, the number
of facilities available for privatization, and the Company's ability to obtain
awards for contracts and to integrate new facilities into its management
structure on a profitable basis. The Company anticipates that there will be
significant competition among operators of correctional and detention facilities
for construction and management contracts for new facilities and for the renewal
of contracts upon expiration. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to obtain additional contracts to construct or manage new
facilities or to retain its existing contracts upon expiration thereof.

POSSIBLE FLUCTUATIONS IN OCCUPANCY LEVELS. A substantial portion of the
Company's revenues are generated under facility management contracts that
specify per diem payments based upon occupancy rates (some of which provide
guaranteed minimum occupancy levels), while a substantial portion of the
Company's cost structure is fixed. Under a per diem rate structure, a decrease
in occupancy rates could cause a decrease in revenue and profitability. Average
facility occupancy rates in Fiscal 2000 and Fiscal 1999 were 97%; however, there
can be no assurance that occupancy rates will not decrease below these
percentages in the future. See Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations of the Company's 2000 Annual Report to
Shareholders.

LIMITED CONTRACT DURATION. Correctional and detention facility operating
agreements typically have terms ranging from one to five years and generally
contain one or more renewal options for terms ranging from one to two years.
Only the contracting governmental agency may exercise a renewal option and no
assurance can be given that any agency will exercise a renewal option in the
future.

RELIANCE UPON GOVERNMENT APPROPRIATIONS FOR PAYMENT UNDER AWARDED CONTRACTS. The
Company's facility management contracts are subject to either annual or
bi-annual 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 negatively
affect the Company's cash flow. In addition, in certain cases the development
and construction of facilities to be managed by the Company are also subject to
obtaining construction financing. Such financing may be obtained through a
variety of means, including without limitation, sale of tax-exempt or taxable
bonds or other obligations or direct governmental appropriation. The sale of
tax-exempt or taxable bonds or other obligations may be adversely affected by
changes in applicable tax laws or adverse changes in the market for tax-exempt
or taxable bonds or other obligations. See "Business - Facilities."

GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION. The Company's business is highly regulated by a variety
of governmental authorities with oversight occurring continuously. For example,
the contracting agency typically assigns full-time, on-site personnel to a
facility to monitor the Company's compliance with contract terms and applicable
regulations. Failure by the Company to comply with such contract terms or
regulations could expose it to substantial penalties. In addition, changes in
existing regulations could require the Company to substantially modify the
manner in which it conducts business and, therefore, could have a material
adverse effect on the Company. See "Business - Business Regulations and Legal
Considerations."

LIMITED ACCEPTANCE OF PRIVATE PRISON OPERATION. Management of correctional and
detention facilities by private entities has not achieved complete acceptance by
either governments or the public. Some governmental agencies have limitations on
their right to delegate their traditional management responsibilities for
correctional and detention facilities to private companies and further
legislative changes or prohibitions could occur that further impact these
limits. The operation of correctional and detention facilities by private
entities is a relatively new concept and is not widely understood by the public
and has encountered resistance from certain groups, such as labor unions, local
sheriffs' departments, and groups that believe that correctional and detention
facility operations should only be conducted by governmental agencies. Moreover,
changes in dominant political parties in any of the markets in which the Company
operates could result in significant changes to previously established views of
privatization in such markets. See "Business - Marketing."

COMMUNITY OPPOSITION TO FACILITY LOCATION. The Company's success in obtaining
new awards and contracts sometimes depends, in part, upon its ability to locate
land that can be leased or acquired, on economically favorable terms, by the
Company or other entities working with the Company in conjunction with the
Company's proposal to construct and/or manage a facility. Some locations may be
in or near populous areas and, therefore, may generate legal action or other
forms of opposition from residents in areas surrounding a proposed site. To
avoid such incidents, the Company attempts to conduct business in communities
where local community leaders and residents generally support establishment of a
privatized correctional or detention facility in their community.

POTENTIAL LEGAL LIABILITY. The Company's management of correctional and
detention facilities exposes it to potential third-party claims or litigation by
prisoners or other persons for personal injury or other damage resulting from
contact with Company-managed facilities, programs, personnel or prisoners,
including damages arising from a prisoner's escape or from a disturbance or riot
at a Company-managed facility. In addition, the Company's management contracts
generally require the Company to indemnify the governmental agency against any
damages to which the governmental agency may be subject in connection with such
claims or litigation. The Company participates in an insurance program
maintained by TWC that provides coverage for certain liability risks faced by
the Company, including accident and personal injury and bodily injury or
property damage to a third party where the Company is found to be negligent.
There can be no assurance, however, that the Company's insurance will be
adequate to cover all potential third-party claims. See "Business - Insurance."

INSURANCE COSTS. Workers' compensation and general liability insurance represent
significant costs to the Company. The Company continues to incur increasing
insurance costs due to adverse claims experience. The Company is developing a
strategy to improve the management of its future loss claims but can provide no
assurances that this strategy will be successful. Unanticipated additional
insurance costs could adversely impact the Company's results of operations and
cash flows.

ADVERSE PUBLICITY. The Company's business is subject to public scrutiny. An
escape, riot or other disturbance at a Company-managed facility or another
privately-managed facility may result in publicity adverse to the Company and
the industry in which it operates, which could materially adversely affect the
Company's business.

RELIANCE OF COMPANY ON TWC FOR CERTAIN SERVICES. The Company has historically
been reliant upon TWC for various services including payroll, tax, legal, data
processing, auditing, treasury, cash management, insurance, information
technology and human resource services. From time to time the Company has
borrowed funds from TWC for working capital and general corporate purposes. The
Company and TWC have an agreement, which is renewed annually, under which TWC
has agreed to continue to provide certain of these services, as deemed
necessary, to the Company for payment by the Company of a fixed annual fee. In
addition, the Company is named insured under an insurance program maintained by
TWC that includes general comprehensive liability, automobile liability and
workers compensation coverage. The Company has agreed to reimburse TWC for
direct and indirect costs associated with such coverage. See "Business -
Insurance."

INFLATION. The Company's largest facility management expense is personnel costs.
Most of the Company's facility management contracts provide for payments to the
Company of either fixed management fees or fees that increase by only small
amounts during their terms. If, due to inflation or other causes, the Company
must increase the wages and salaries of its employees at rates faster than
increases, if any, in management fees, then the Company's profitability would be
adversely affected. See Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations - Inflation of the Company's 2000 Annual
Report to Shareholders.

ECONOMIC RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES. When the Company is
engaged to perform construction and design services for a facility, the Company
typically acts as the primary contractor and subcontracts with other developers
who act as the general contractors. As primary contractor, the Company is
subject to the various risks of construction (including, without limitation,
shortages of labor and materials, work stoppages, labor disputes and weather
interference) which could cause construction delays, and the Company is subject
to the risk that the general contractor will be unable to complete construction
at the budgeted costs or be unable to fund any excess construction costs,
despite the fact that the Company requires its general contractor to post
construction bonds and insurance. Under such contracts the Company is ultimately
liable for all late delivery penalties and cost overruns. See Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of the
Company's 2000 Annual Report to Shareholders.

FACILITY LEASE LIABILITY. The Company currently leases nineteen of the
facilities that it manages. The leases for such facilities do not terminate upon
the completion of the management contracts for such facilities. If a management
contract for such a facility is completed or terminated, the Company would be
obligated to continue to make lease payments until expiration of the facility
lease, even though it no longer would receive management fees under such
contract and may be unable to obtain an additional contract for the use of the
facility. Under such leases, the Company may have no contractual remedy to
obtain reimbursement.

CONTROL OF COMPANY. George R. Wackenhut and his wife, Ruth J. Wackenhut, jointly
own approximately 50.1% of the issued and outstanding voting common stock of
TWC. TWC owns approximately 57% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common
Stock of the Company. As a result, through TWC, George R. Wackenhut and Ruth J.
Wackenhut will be able to control virtually all matters requiring approval of
the shareholders of the Company, including the election of all of the directors.
TWC intends to maintain a controlling interest in the Company and has no present
plans to distribute or otherwise dispose of its shares in the Company.

(1) This facility is occupied by inmates under several contracts with varying
terms and renewal options. The terms of these contracts range from two
weeks to an indefinite period and the renewal option features range from no
option to unlimited renewals.

(2) Contract terms have yet to be negotiated.

(3) The Company operates a chemical dependency treatment center located in this
facility under a separate contract. This contract is for a one-year term
expiring August 31, 2001.

(4) The Company holds a contract for maintenance only of this facility.

(5) The Company purchased this facility and provides services on an individual
patient basis, therefore, there are no contracts with government agencies
subject to terms and/or renewals.

(6) The Company leases these facilities from Correctional Properties Trust.

(7) This facility represents additional services under the current detention
services contractual agreement with the Department of Immigration and
Multicultural Affairs ("DIMA"), and is subject to a six-week termination
clause depending on client needs.

(8) The Company provides comprehensive healthcare services to 9
government-operated prisons under this contract.

(9) The Company provides detention services to 152 detainees being held under
the provisions of Florida's "Jimmy Ryce Act" at the South Bay Facility in
South Bay, Florida.

In April 1998, the Company sold three facilities owned by it and the rights to
acquire four other facilities to Correctional Properties Trust ("CPV"), a
Maryland real estate investment trust. CPV purchased an eighth facility directly
from a government entity. In October, 1998 the Company sold the completed
portion of a ninth facility to CPV. During Fiscal 1999, CPV acquired a 600-bed
expansion of the ninth facility and the right to acquire a tenth facility.
During Fiscal 2000, CPV purchased an eleventh facility that the Company had the
right to acquire. The facilities were then leased to the Company under operating
leases. See Item 2 - "Properties."

The Company offers services that go beyond simply housing offenders. The
Company's wide array of in-facility rehabilitative and educational programs
differentiates it from many competitors who lack the experience or resources to
provide such programs. Inmates at most facilities managed by the Company can
also receive basic education through academic programs designed to improve
inmates' literacy levels and to offer the opportunity to acquire General
Education Development ("GED") certificates. Most Company-managed facilities also
offer vocational training for in-demand occupations to inmates who lack
marketable job skills. In addition, most Company-managed facilities offer life
skills/transition planning programs that provide inmates job search training and
employment skills, anger management skills, health education, financial
responsibility training, parenting skills and other skills associated with
becoming productive citizens. For example, at the Lockhart Work Program
Facility, Lockhart, Texas, the Company, as part of its job training program,
recruited firms from private industry to employ inmates at the facility. Inmates
who participate in such programs receive job skills training and are paid at
least the minimum wage. The inmates' earnings are used to compensate victims,
defray the inmates' housing costs and support their dependents. This program is
being expanded to the Company's correctional facilities in South Bay and Moore
Haven, Florida. The Company also offers counseling, education and/or treatment
to inmates with alcohol and drug abuse problems at thirty-three of the domestic
facilities it manages. The Company believes that its program at the Kyle New
Vision Chemical Dependency Treatment Center is the largest privately managed
in-prison program of this nature in the United States.

The Company operates each facility in accordance with the Company-wide policies
and procedures and with the standards and guidelines required under the relevant
contract. For many facilities, the standards and guidelines include those
established by the American Correctional Association ("ACA"). The ACA, an
independent organization of corrections professionals, establishes correctional
facility standards and guidelines that are generally acknowledged as a benchmark
by governmental agencies responsible for correctional facilities. Many of the
Company's contracts for facilities in the United States require the Company to
seek accreditation of the facility. The Company has sought and received ACA
accreditation for twenty-three of the facilities it manages.

Contracts to design and construct or to redesign and renovate facilities may be
financed in a variety of ways. See also "Business - Facility Design,
Construction and Finance." If the project is financed using direct governmental
appropriations, using proceeds of the sale of bonds or other obligations issued
prior to the award of the project or by the Company directly, then financing is
in place when the contract relating to the construction or renovation project is
executed. If the project is financed using project-specific tax-exempt bonds or
other obligations, the construction contract is generally subject to the sale of
such bonds or obligations. Generally, substantial expenditures for construction
will not be made on such a project until the tax-exempt bonds or other
obligations are sold; and, if such bonds or obligations are not sold,
construction and, therefore, management of the facility may either be delayed
until alternative financing is procured or development of the project will be
entirely suspended. If the project is self-financed by the Company, then
financing is in place prior to the commencement of construction.

When the Company is awarded a facility management contract, appropriations for
the first annual or bi-annual period of the contract's term have generally
already been approved, and the contract is subject to governmental
appropriations for subsequent annual or bi-annual periods.

Except for its contract for the Taft Correctional Institution, Rivers
Correctional Institution, South Florida State Hospital, and the facilities in
the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand, all of which provide for fixed
monthly rates, the Company's facility management contracts provide that the
Company is compensated at an inmate or patient per diem rate based upon actual
or guaranteed occupancy levels. Such compensation is invoiced in accordance with
applicable laws and paid on a monthly basis. All of the Company's contracts are
subject to either annual or bi-annual legislative appropriations. A failure by a
governmental agency to receive appropriations could result in termination of the
contract by such agency or a reduction of the management fee payable to the
Company. To date, the Company has not encountered a situation where
appropriations have not been made to a governmental agency with regard to the
Company's contracts, although no assurance can be given that the governmental
agencies will continue to receive appropriations in all cases.

The Company's facility management contracts typically have original terms
ranging from one to ten years and give the governmental agency at least one
renewal option, generally for a term ranging from one to five years. The
following table summarizes the number of the Company's contracts expiring each
year:

=========

Refer to the table in "Business - Facilities" for detail of the renewal options
for these contracts. The remainder of the Company's contracts are either in
negotiation currently or have varied renewal options that are dependent upon the
agency contracted with, the type of inmate, and other factors. Except as
described below, to date, all renewal options under the Company's management
contracts have been exercised. However, in connection with the exercise of the
renewal option, the contracting government agency or the Company typically has
requested changes or adjustments to the contract terms.

The Company's contracts typically allow a contracting governmental agency to
terminate a contract for cause by giving the Company written notice ranging from
30 to 180 days. Three contracts have been terminated prior to the end of the
contract term. On June 30, 2000, the cooperative agreement for the management of
the Jena Juvenile Justice Center between the Company and the Louisiana
Department of Public Safety and Corrections was terminated. Additionally, the



13 of 30
14

contract for the management of the Travis County Community Justice Center was
discontinued in 1999 based on the mutual decision between the Company, the Texas
Department of Criminal Justice State Jail Division and Travis County, Texas. The
Company also had a contract that did not extend for the full term, which was for
the management of the Monroe County, Florida jail. By mutual agreement of the
Company and the Monroe County Board of Commissioners, the contract was
discontinued in 1990 on an amicable basis.

In addition, in connection with the Company's management of such facilities, the
Company is required to comply with all applicable local, state and federal laws
and related rules and regulations. The Company's contracts typically require it
to maintain certain levels of insurance coverage for general liability, workers'
compensation, vehicle liability, and property loss or damage. If the Company
does not maintain the required categories and levels of coverage, the
contracting governmental agency may be permitted to terminate the contract.
Presently, the Company, through TWC, has general liability insurance coverage of
$55 million per occurrence and in the aggregate. See "Business - Insurance." In
addition, the Company is required under its contracts to indemnify the
contracting governmental agency for all claims and costs arising out of the
Company's management of facilities and in some instances the Company is required
to maintain performance bonds.

FACILITY DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION AND FINANCE

The Company provides governmental agencies consultation and management services
relating to the design and construction of new correctional and detention
facilities and the redesign and renovation of older facilities. As of December
31, 2000, the Company has provided service for the design and construction of
twenty-nine facilities and for the redesign and renovation of three facilities
and has contracts to design and construct four facilities. The Company is
willing to perform consultation and management services for the design and
construction or redesign and renovation of a facility regardless of whether it
has been awarded the contract for the management of such facility. See table in
"Business - Facilities."

Under its construction and design management contracts, the Company agrees to be
responsible for overall project development and completion. The Company makes
use of an in-house staff of architects and operational experts from various
corrections disciplines (e.g. security, medical service, food service, inmate
programs and facility maintenance) as part of the decision team that
participates from conceptual design through final construction of the project.
When designing a facility, the Company's architects seek to utilize, with
appropriate modifications, prototype designs the Company has used in developing
prior projects. The Company believes that the use of such proven designs allows
it to reduce cost overruns and construction delays and to reduce the number of
guards required to staff a facility, thus controlling costs both to construct
and to manage the facility. Security is maintained because the Company's
facility designs increase the area of vision under surveillance by correctional
officers and make use of additional electronic surveillance.

The Company typically acts as the primary developer on construction contracts
for facilities and subcontracts with local general contractors. Where possible,
the Company subcontracts with construction companies with which it has
previously worked. The Company has an in-house team of design, construction and
prison security experts that coordinate all aspects of the development with
subcontractors and provide site-specific services. It has been the Company's
experience that it typically takes 9 to 24 months to construct a facility after
the contract is executed and financing approved.



14 of 30
15


The Company may also propose to contracting governmental agencies various
financing structures for construction finance. The governmental agency may
finance the construction of such facilities through various methods including,
but not limited to, the following: (i) a one time general revenue appropriation
by the government agency for the cost of the new facility; (ii) general
obligation bonds that are secured by either a limited or unlimited tax levy by
the issuing governmental entity; or (iii) lease revenue bonds or certificates of
participation secured by an annual lease payment that is subject to annual or
bi-annual legislative appropriations. The Company may also act as a source of
financing or as a broker in any regard with respect to any financing. In these
cases, the construction of such facilities may be financed through various
methods including, but not limited to, the following: (i) funds from equity
offerings of the Company's stock; (ii) borrowing from banks or other
institutions; or (iii) lease arrangements with third parties. Of the 57
facilities managed or contracted to be managed by the Company, 38 are funded
using one of the above-described financing vehicles, and 18 are or will be
directly leased. Additionally, one facility is directly leased for which the
Company does not currently have an operating contract. However, alternative
financing arrangements may be required for certain facilities. A growing trend
in the correctional and detention industry requires private operators to make
capital investments in new facilities and enter into direct financing
arrangements in connection with the development of such facilities. By
participating in such projects, private operators achieve economic benefits and
tax advantages that are not typically available in connection with more
traditional arrangements.

MARKETING

Currently, the Company views governmental agencies responsible for federal
correctional facilities in the United States and governmental agencies
responsible for correctional facilities in the United Kingdom and Australia as
its primary potential customers. The Company's secondary customers include state
and local agencies in the United States and other foreign governmental agencies.

Governmental agencies responsible for correctional and detention facilities
generally procure goods and services through RFPs. A typical RFP requires
bidders to provide detailed information, including, but not limited to,
descriptions of the following: the services to be provided by the bidder, its
experience and qualifications, and the price at which the bidder is willing to
provide the services (which services may include the renovation; improvement or
expansion of an existing facility; or the planning, design and construction of a
new facility). As part of the Company's process of responding to RFPs,
management meets with appropriate personnel from the requesting agency, if
permitted by the procurement, to best determine the prospective client's
distinct needs.

If the project fits within the Company's strategy, the Company then will submit
a written response to the RFP. The Company estimates that it typically spends
between $50,000 and $150,000 when responding to an RFP. The Company has engaged
and intends in the future to engage independent consultants. Activities of the
independent consultants include assisting the Company in developing
privatization opportunities and in responding to RFPs, monitoring the
legislative and business climate and maintaining relationships with existing
clients.

There are several critical events in the marketing process. These include
issuance of an RFP by a governmental agency, submission of a response to the RFP
by the Company, the award of a contract by a governmental agency and the
commencement of construction or management of a facility. The Company's
experience has been that a period of approximately five to ten weeks is
generally required from the issuance of an RFP to the submission of the
Company's response to the RFP; that between one and four months elapse between
the submission of the Company's response and the agency's award for a contract;
and that between one and four months elapse between the award of a contract and



15 of 30
16


the commencement of construction or management of the facility. If the facility
for which an award has been made must be constructed, the Company's experience
is that construction usually takes between 9 and 24 months; therefore,
management of a newly constructed facility typically commences between 10 and 28
months after the governmental agency's award.

BUSINESS PROPOSALS

The Company pursues both domestic and international projects. At December 31,
2000, the Company had outstanding written responses to RFPs for five projects
with a total of 4,755 beds. The Company also is pursuing prospects for other
projects for which it has not yet submitted, and may not submit, a response to
an RFP. No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in its
efforts to receive additional awards with respect to any proposals submitted.

INSURANCE

Presently, the Company is a named insured under a liability insurance program
(the "Insurance Program") maintained by TWC. The Insurance Program includes
general comprehensive liability, automobile liability and workers' compensation
coverage for TWC and all of its domestic subsidiaries. The Insurance Program
consists of primary and excess insurance coverage. The primary coverage consists
of up to $5 million of coverage per occurrence with no aggregate coverage limit.
The excess coverage consists of up to $50 million of coverage per occurrence and
in the aggregate. The Company believes such limits are adequate to insure
against the various liability risks of its business. The premium paid by the
Company to TWC for coverage under the Insurance Program in 2000 was
approximately $13.6 million, representing premiums paid to a captive reinsurance
company that is wholly owned by TWC. The facility management contracts and
various state statutes require the Company to maintain such insurance and the
management contracts provide that the contracting agency may terminate the
contract if the Company fails to maintain the required insurance coverages.
Under the Insurance Program, the first $1 million of expenses and losses per
occurrence were reinsured by TWC's wholly-owned captive reinsurance company
during Fiscal 2000.

EMPLOYEES AND EMPLOYEE TRAINING

At December 31, 2000, the Company had 10,094 full-time employees. Of such
full-time employees, 70 were employed at the Company's headquarters and 10,024
were employed at facilities and regional offices. The Company employs
management, administrative and clerical, security, educational services, health
services and general maintenance personnel. The Company's correctional officer
employees at George W. Hill Correctional Facility (Pennsylvania), Queens Private
Correctional Facility (New York), Junee Correctional Centre (Australia), Arthur
Gorrie Correctional Centre (Australia), Fulham Correctional Centre (Australia),
Melbourne Custody Centre (Australia), Auckland Central Remand Prison (New
Zealand) and Immigration Detention Services (Australia) are members of unions.
The Company has entered into a contract with the union for the correctional
officers at each of these facilities. In addition, the employees of PCG in the
United Kingdom are covered by a national collective bargaining agreement with
the Prison Service Union. Other than the contracts described above, the Company
has no union contracts or collective bargaining agreements. The Company believes
its relations with its employees are good.

Under the laws applicable to most of the Company's operations, and internal
Company policy, the Company's corrections officers are required to complete a
minimum amount of training prior to employment. At least 160 hours of training
by the Company is required under most state laws before an employee is allowed
to work in a position that will bring him or her in contact with inmates.
Florida law requires that the correction officers receive 520 hours of training.
The Company's training programs meet or exceed all applicable requirements.



16 of 30
17


The Company's training begins with approximately 40 hours of instruction
regarding Company policies, operational procedures and management philosophy.
Training continues with an additional 120 hours of instruction covering legal
issues, rights of inmates, techniques of communication and supervision,
interpersonal skills and job training relating to the particular position to be
held. Each Company employee who has contact with inmates receives a minimum of
40 hours of additional training each year, and each manager receives at least 24
hours of training each year.

At least 222 hours of training is required for United Kingdom employees and 240
hours of training is required for Australian employees before such employees are
allowed to work in positions that will bring them into contact with inmates.
Company employees in the United Kingdom and Australia receive a minimum of 40
hours of additional training each year.

COMPETITION

The Company competes primarily on the basis of the quality and range of services
offered, its experience (both domestically and internationally) in the design,
construction and management of privatized correctional and detention facilities,
and its reputation. The Company competes with a number of companies, including,
but not limited to: Corrections Corporation of America; Correctional Services
Corporation; Group 4 International Corrections Service; U.K. Detention Services,
Ltd.; Cornell Corrections Corporation; Securicor Group; Sodexho and Management
and Training Corporation. Some of the Company's competitors are larger and have
greater resources than the Company. The Company also competes in some markets
with small local companies that may have a better knowledge of the local
conditions and may be better able to gain political and public acceptance.
Potential competitors can enter the Company's business without a substantial
capital investment or experience in management of correctional or detention
facilities. In addition, in some markets, the Company may compete with
governmental agencies that are responsible for correctional facilities.

NON-U.S. OPERATIONS

Although most of the operations of the Company are within the United States, its
international operations make a significant contribution to income.
International operations of the Company provide correctional and detention
facilities management in Australia.

A summary of domestic and international operations is presented below:

BUSINESS REGULATIONS AND LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS

The industry in which the Company operates is subject to national, federal,
state, and local regulations in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia,
South Africa, New Zealand and Puerto Rico which are administered by a variety of
regulatory authorities. Generally, prospective providers of corrections services
must be able to detail their readiness to, and must comply with, a variety of
applicable state and local regulations, including education, health care and
safety regulations. The Company's contracts frequently include extensive
reporting requirements and require supervision and on-site monitoring by
representatives of contracting governmental agencies. The Company's Kyle New
Vision Chemical Dependency Treatment Center is licensed by the Texas Commission
on Alcohol and Drug Abuse to provide substance abuse treatment. Certain states,
such as Florida and Texas, deem correctional officers to be peace officers and
require Company personnel to be licensed and subject to background
investigation. State law also typically requires corrections officers to meet
certain training standards.

In addition, many state and local governments are required to enter into a
competitive bidding procedure before awarding contracts for products or
services. The laws of certain jurisdictions may also require the Company to
award subcontracts on a competitive basis or to subcontract with businesses
owned by women or members of minority groups.

The failure to comply with any applicable laws, rules or regulations or the loss
of any required license could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, the



18 of 30
19

current and future operations of the Company may be subject to additional
regulations as a result of, among other factors, new statutes and regulations
and changes in the manner in which existing statutes and regulations are or may
be interpreted or applied. Any such additional regulations could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of
operations.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company's contract to manage the Jena Juvenile Justice Center in Jena,
Louisiana was terminated by the Louisiana Department of Public Safety and
Corrections on June 30, 2000. The Company has a ten-year non-cancelable
operating lease for the facility with Correctional Properties Trust ("CPV")
which expires in January, 2010. The Company has recorded an operating charge of
$3.8 million ($2.3 million after tax) that represents the expected losses to be
incurred on the lease with CPV. See Note 7 of the "Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements."

The Company has a contract with the State of Florida Department of Children and
Families ("DCF") to design and construct a new 350-bed South Florida State
Psychiatric Hospital for approximately $35 million. The construction is
complete. The Company incurred additional costs in excess of $2 million beyond
the initial scope of the construction contract through December 31, 2000. The
Company is in the process of negotiating with DCF to recover these additional
costs. There can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in
negotiating for additional funding of this project. Accordingly, the Company has
recognized these additional costs as incurred and has not recorded revenue on
the pending claim.

The Company has experienced adverse claims and settlements which directly impact
the Company's insurance premiums. If the insurance premiums continue to increase
through 2001, the Company's results of operations may be significantly impacted.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

The Company leases its corporate headquarters office space in Palm Beach
Gardens, Florida, from TWC and a third party. In addition, the Company leases
office space for its regional offices in Austin, Texas; Irvine, California; Lake
Charles, Louisiana; and Sydney, Australia.

The Company also leases the space for the following facilities it manages under
operating leases: (i) Aurora INS Processing Center; (ii) Broward County Work
Release Center; (iii) Central Texas Parole Violator Facility; (iv) Central
Valley Community Correctional Facility; (v) Coke County Juvenile Justice
Facility; (vi) Desert View Community Correctional Facility; (vii) Golden State
Community Correctional Facility; (viii) Guadalupe County Correctional Facility;
(ix) Jena Juvenile Justice Center; (x) Karnes County Correctional Center; (xi)
Lawton Correctional Facility; (xii) Lea County Correctional Facility; (xiii)
McFarland Community Correctional Facility; (xiv) Michigan Youth Correctional
Facility; (xv) North Texas Intermediate Sanction Facility; (xvi) Queens Private
Correctional Facility; (xvii) Western Region Detention Facility at San Diego and
(xviii) Val Verde Correctional Facility.

The Company owns a 72-bed psychiatric hospital in Fort Lauderdale, Florida which
it purchased and renovated in 1997.

In December 1997, the Company entered into a $220 million operating lease
facility that was established to acquire and develop new correctional
institutions used in its business. As a condition of this facility, the Company
unconditionally agreed to guarantee certain obligations of First Security Bank,



19 of 30
20

N.A., a party to the aforementioned operating lease facility. As of December 31,
2000, approximately $142.7 million of this operating lease facility was utilized
for properties in operation or under development.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In December 1999, a Travis County, Texas grand jury indicted twelve of the
Company's former facility employees for various types of sexual misconduct.
Management believes these indictments are not expected to have any material
financial impact on the Company. Eleven of the twelve indicted former employees
already resigned from or had been terminated by the Company as a result of
Company-initiated investigations over the course of the prior three years. The
Company is not providing counsel to assist in the defense of these twelve
individuals. The District Attorney in Travis County continues to review Company
documents at the Travis County Facility. At this time the Company cannot predict
the outcome of this investigation.

The nature of the Company's business results in claims or litigation against the
Company for damages arising from the conduct of its employee or others. Except
for the litigation set forth above and routine litigation incidental to the
business of the Company, there are no pending material legal proceedings to
which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or to which any of their
property is subject. The Company believes that if the outcome of the proceedings
to which it is currently a party is unfavorable, the Company could have a
material adverse effect upon its operations or financial condition.
