                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)


1.       CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         The consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 1995, and the
         consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three
         month periods ended March 31, 1995 and 1994, have been prepared by the
         Company in accordance with the accounting policies described in its
         1994 Annual Report and should be read in conjunction with the notes
         thereto.

         In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only
         normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the
         financial positions, results of operations and changes in cash flows
         at March 31, 1995 and for all periods presented have been made.

         Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
         financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
         accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.  The results of
         operations for the period ended March 31, 1995, are not necessarily
         indicative of the operating results for the full year.

2.       LONG-TERM DEBT

         In March 1995, the Company converted $6,700,000 of convertible
         subordinated notes into 443,692 shares of common stock.  The notes had
         been outstanding since 1989 and had earned 8.5% interest.  The
         conversion prices ranged from $14.33 to $16.74 and included a
         provision which permitted the Company to require conversion after the 
         stock had a market value of 150% of the conversion price for a 
         specified period.




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

         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                             
         REVENUES AND EXPENSES FROM FACILITY OPERATIONS
                                                      
         Revenues for the first quarter of 1995 increased 26% over the
         comparable period of 1994.  Management revenues increased $6,855,000
         and transportation revenues increased $347,000 in the first three
         months of 1995 as compared to the same period in 1994.  The increase
         in management revenues was due to average occupancy increasing 3.5%
         along with compensated mandays increasing by 25%.  The Company opened
         the Central Arizona Detention Facility in Florence, Arizona, in the
         fourth quarter of 1994 and also realized the full period effect of
         1994 expansions to existing facilities.  The 19% increase in
         transportation revenues was due to a marketing effort resulting in an
         expanded customer base and therefore increased compensated mileage.

         Operating expenses for the first quarter of 1995 increased 17% over
         the comparable quarter in 1994.  This increase was due to the
         increased compensated mandays and compensated mileage that the Company
         realized in 1995 as previously mentioned.

         Depreciation and amortization remained relatively flat with only a 3%
         increase in the first quarter of 1995 as compared to the first quarter
         of 1994.  While increasing in dollar amount depreciation and
         amortization actually decreased as a percentage of revenue.  This is a
         result of





                                                                               7

         the trend in new contracts moving towards the government financing and
         owning the fixed assets while contracting out the operations with the
         private sector.

         OTHER EXPENSES

         General and administrative expenses increased 36% for the first
         quarter of 1995 as compared to the comparable quarter of 1994.  The
         increased expenses were incurred in order to manage the new beds
         being brought on line in 1995 and 1996.  The Company is in the process
         of bringing 6,210 beds on line over the next eighteen months.  As
         these facilities open then general and administrative cost will again
         decrease as a percentage of revenues.

         Interest expense, net, decreased 11% from the first quarter of 1994 to
         the first quarter of 1995.  This is due to the Company making
         regularly scheduled debt payments, the reduction of $9,800,000 of debt
         in June 1994, with proceeds from an equity issuance and the conversion
         of $6,700,000 convertible subordinated notes in March 1995.

         Income taxes increased from $167,000 in the first quarter of 1994 to
         $1,737,000 in the first quarter of 1995.  This increase is due to the
         Company's complete utilization of net operating loss carryforwards and
         therefore being subject to the full statutory tax rates.

         FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Company's business is capital intensive.  The Company's efforts to
         obtain contracts, construct additional facilities, and maintain its
         day-to-day operations have required the continued acquisition of funds
         through borrowings and equity offerings.  Thus far the Company has
         financed these activities through the sale of capital stock,
         subordinated convertible notes and senior secured debt, through the
         issuance of taxable and tax-exempt bonds, by bank borrowings, and by
         assisting governmental agencies in the issuance of municipal bonds.

         The Company has a working capital revolving credit facility with a
         bank which provides for borrowings of up to $15,000,000.  The facility
         requires interest payments to be made monthly and bears interest, at
         the election of the Company, of either the Bank's prime rate or LIBOR
         plus 2%, 9.0% and 8.13%, respectively at March 31, 1995.  The facility
         consists of a working capital line, which includes letters of credit.
         As of March 31, 1995, There were no amounts borrowed against the
         facility but $7,361,000 of letters of credit had been issued leaving
         the unused commitment at $7,639,000.

         Future expansion and the acquisition and construction of additional
         facilities may require further financing, the form of which will vary
         depending upon prevailing market and other conditions.  The trend in
         growth opportunities has been a movement towards the government
         financing and owning the fixed assets while contracting out the
         operations with the private sector.

         Management believes that cash flow from operations, borrowing capacity
         and access to alternative financing techniques are adequate to meet
         its future financial requirements.
