California City prison gets $529 million federal
contract
CALIFORNIA CITY — The Federal Bureau of Prisons announced Friday it would
contract with Corrections Corporation of America to house criminal aliens
in its 2,304-bed facility near here.
The federal contract with CCA to house the
inmates at the California City Correctional Center is worth $529 million
at the end of 10 years. It begins with a base period of three years, with
seven one-year options and ensures that the prison, completed last year
at a cost of over $110 million, will be filled.
Low security, noncitizen criminal inmates could
start arriving in three months, said Federal Bureau of Prisons spokesman
Daniel Dunne. He said it was too early to predict exactly where inmates
would come from, but federal prisons throughout the country are overcrowded.
News of the contract brought a range of reactions
from officials and residents.
"It's a trip," said Mayor Larry Adams. "This
will definitely change the town for the better." City Manager Jack Stewart
sees the contract in terms of jobs and economic promise for the city of
more than 10,000 residents. This contract will be very beneficial to California
City. It will mean the addition of nearly 400 jobs. Nashville-based CCA
opened the prison last September. It currently employs about 150, 74 correctional
officers will pay in the neighborhood of $35,000 to $40,000 a year, said
Stewart. The prison is currently housing several hundred inmates for the
U.S. Marshal. But the federal contract may fill the prison to capacity.
According to Adams, a prison proponent from
the beginning, several businesses have hinted about coming to town once
the prison opened, including a major supermarket, a four-screen movie theater
and a Sears hardware outlet.
Nashville-based CCA opened the prison last
September. It currently employs 150 people, 74 of them guards. If the prison
is filled to capacity, it will have about 500 full-time employees, most
of them guards. One hoped-for improvement is a boost to the city's population,
now about 9,000, as new guards bring their families to town. The inmates
themselves are also counted as city residents for census purposes. Unfortunately,
the federal contract didn't come soon enough for the 2000 census, said
City Clerk Helen Dennis. She hopes she can file an amendment to the city's
census count because state funds are often divvied up among cities based
on population.
Meanwhile, although the Federal Bureau of Prisons
wanted to fill the prison with its own prisoners, there are already about
360 inmates for the U.S. Marshal in the facility. Myers said it was his
understanding the two federal agencies would work out a solution. Dunne
said the logistics would likely have to be worked out by CCA. While CCA
will operate the prison, it will have to meet federal prison regulations
and the feds will retain oversight and provide some on-site staff, Dunne
said.
The bureau approved only two of these contracts,
and both were to CCA, said Myers. The other is in New Mexico, worth $230
million, for the same time period.
Two Decades of Service to the Public Sector
CCA’s industry benchmarks include many operational and programmatic
firsts. We are proud to have pioneered the way for public/private partnerships
in corrections.
CCA Incorporated
CCA was incorporated on January 29, 1983, by three businessmen with
a progressive vision: the provision of corrections, a traditionally government-administered
service by private business. Co-founders Tom Beasley, Don Hutto and Doctor
Crants brought a diverse group of skills to apply to their new business
venture: public policy and knowledge of the legislative process, public
corrections, and financial expertise.
Houston Processing Center (1984)
Houston Processing Center was CCA’s first design, build and manage
contract from the U.S. Department of Justice for the Bureau of Immigration
and Customs Enforcement (formerly the Immigration and Naturalization Service)
in Texas. Construction was underway on the Houston Processing Center in
Texas when the INS notified CCA that it needed housing for detainees earlier
than expected – in January. Co-founders Tom Beasley and Don Hutto went
to Houston to find a motel to temporarily house detainees. The owner of
the local Olympic Motel agreed to a 90-day lease. After a team of contractors
cleaned and secured the facility, an INS inspection team approved the facility
for use by 86 detainees, scheduled to arrive at 11:00 p.m. on Super Bowl
Sunday. Hutto bought toiletries at Wal-Mart with his American Express card,
produced photo ID cards and rolled fingerprints, while other corporate
officers distributed sandwiches and helped security staff escort detainees
to their living quarters. CCA’s Houston Processing Center opened a few
months later, in March 1984, and remains in operation for BICE today.
Tall Trees, Memphis, Tennessee (1984)
CCA assumed management of its first facility, Tall Trees, a 63-bed,
non-secure juvenile facility, for the Juvenile Court of Memphis and Shelby
County, in 1984.
Shelby Training Center, Memphis, Tennessee (1986)
CCA’s 200-bed Shelby Training Center in Memphis, Tennessee was the
first design, build and manage secure juvenile training school, housing
male offenders for the Juvenile Court of Memphis and Shelby County.
New Mexico Women’s Correctional Facility (1989)
CCA contracted with the New Mexico Department of Corrections to
design, build and manage the New Mexico Women’ s Correctional Facility
in Grants. The 204-bed facility was the first women’s prison in the United
States to be privately built and operated.
Winn Correctional Center (1990)
CCA’s Winn Correctional Center was the first medium-security private
prison in the United States. Located in Winn Parish, Louisiana, the center
was designed, financed and built by the state.
Leavenworth Detention Center (1992)
CCA designed and built the 256-bed Leavenworth Detention Center,
which the company operates for the U.S. Marshals Service. The center was
the first maximum-security private prison under direct contract with a
federal agency.
Excellence in Accreditation: New Mexico Women’s Correctional Facility
(1991)
CCA’s New Mexico Women’s Correctional Facility became the company’s
first facility to achieve a perfect score from the American Correctional
Association on its initial ACA audit in 1991. Since that time, six more
CCA facilities have achieved this distinction – Lee Adjustment Center,
Lake City Correctional Facility, Bent County Correctional Facility, Otter
Creek Correctional Center, Gadsden Correctional Facility, and California
City Correctional Facility -- and 85% of CCA facilities are ACA accredited.
LifeLine (1993)
CCA’s LifeLine substance abuse treatment program is founded at Metro-Davidson
County Detention Facility in Nashville, Tennessee. Since that time, 23
CCA facilities utilize the therapeutic community model, and the program
has drawn the interest of officials from the public sector and other countries,
including Russia, South Africa and Korea.
Transportation services (1995)
CCA acquires TransCor America, Inc., the nation’s largest long-distance
inmate transportation company.
Correctional Treatment Facility (1997)
CCA assumes management of the Correctional Treatment Facility in
Washington, D.C., a medium-security facility specializing in substance
abuse treatment for adult males and females. CTF represented many firsts
for CCA: the first facility in the nation’s capital, the company’s first
contract for a purchase and lease-back agreement with local government,
and the first partnership between CCA and organized labor unions.
David L. Moss Criminal Justice Center (1999)
CCA opened the 1,714-bed David L. Moss Criminal Justice Center in
Tulsa, Oklahoma, the largest county jail ever to become a private jail.
New Leadership, New Organization (2001)
To enhance the company’s service to our customers and support long-term
goals, CCA implements a new corporate structure. Highlights of the new
structure include a realigned Business Development division with greater
coverage for each of CCA’s markets and the creation of a Human Resources
department, to enhance internal performance monitoring and establish a
formal support network for CCA employees.
CCA Celebrates its 20th Anniversary (2003)
At this point in company history, CCA is the nation’s sixth largest
corrections system, with 59 facilities in 20 states and the District of
Columbia. The company maintains a security record that compares well to
our industry colleagues, with an escape rate more than 10 times lower than
public corrections systems. Our commitment to quality performance-driven
educational, vocational, substance abuse and re-entry programs for inmates
continues to be at the forefront of our efforts.
CCA Prison Facilities

and juveniles at all security levels, in 65 facilities under contract for
