         RE:      RONALD LEE SUTTLES TRI-COUNTY EXTRADITION, INC.


Ladies and Gentlemen:

As of the date of this letter, we are acting as special California counsel to
Ronald Lee Suttles Tri-County Extradition, Inc., a California corporation (the
"Guarantor"), a subsidiary of Corrections Corporation of America, a Maryland
Corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the proposed issuance by the
Guarantor of a guarantee (the "Guarantee") of Corrections Corporation of
America's Senior Notes due 2011 (the "New Notes"), such New Notes to be issued
pursuant to an exchange offer (the "Exchange Offer") in exchange for a like
principal amount and denomination of the Company's issued and outstanding 7.5%
Senior Notes Due 2011 (the "Old Notes"), as contemplated by the Registration
Rights Agreement dated as of August 8, 2003 (the "Registration Rights
Agreement"), by and among the Company, the Guarantor, certain other subsidiary
guarantors of the Company and the Initial Purchasers (as defined therein). The
Old Notes were issued, and the New Notes will be issued, under that certain
Indenture dated as of May 7, 2003, as amended and supplemented by that certain
(i) Supplemental Indenture dated as of May 7, 2003 (the "Supplemental
Indenture"), (ii) First Supplement to the Supplemental Indenture dated as of
August 8, 2003, and (iii) Second Supplement to the Supplemental Indenture dated
as of August 8, 2003 (collectively, the "Indenture"), each of which is among the
Company, the Guarantor, certain subsidiary guarantors of the Company and U.S.
Bank National Association as Trustee.

In so acting, we have examined copies of the form of the New Notes and executed
copies of the Indenture and the Guarantee. We have also examined and identified
to our satisfaction, originals or copies, certified or otherwise of such
corporate records, agreements, documents and other instruments, and such
certificates or comparable documents of public officials and of officers and

representatives of the Guarantor and have made such inquiries of such officers
and representatives, as we have deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for the
opinions hereinafter set forth. For purposes of the opinion on the good standing
of the Guarantor, we have relied upon the factual matters presented to us, and
upon a Certificate of Good Standing of recent date, which we believe interested
parties are justified in relying upon. We have also examined all applicable
provisions of California law as we consider necessary for purposes of giving the
opinions expressed herein. The Indenture provides that it is governed by the
laws of the State of New York. We presume that a court considering the issue
would respect that choice, and we do not render an opinion as to New York law.

In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the
legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted
to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents
submitted to us as certified, facsimile, email, conformed or photo static copies
and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents and that all
public records viewed by us or on our behalf are accurate and complete. As to
various issues of fact, we have relied upon certificates or comparable documents
of officers and representatives of the Guarantor.

Based on the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications stated herein, we are
of the opinion that:

         1. The  Guarantor is a corporation validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the State of California; and

         2. The execution, delivery and performance of the Indenture and the
Guarantee have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate actions on the
part of the Guarantor. Each of the Indenture and the Guarantee has been duly
executed and delivered by the Guarantor.

The opinions expressed herein are limited to the corporate laws of the State of
California, and we express no opinion as to the effect on the matters covered by
this letter of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

The opinions expressed herein are limited to matters set forth in this letter
and no other opinion should be inferred beyond the matter expressly stated.

The opinions expressed herein are for your benefit and the benefit of Bass,
Berry & Sims PLC in connection with the transactions described herein, and we
acknowledge that Bass, Berry & Sims PLC may rely on our opinions in giving
certain opinions to you dated the date hereof. The opinions expressed herein are
valid only with respect to the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to
advise you of facts, circumstances, events or developments which may be brought
to our attention after the date hereof and which may alter, affect or modify
those opinions.
