                       CCA ACQUIRES CONCEPT INCORPORATED

NASHVILLE, Tenn., April 26, 1995 - Corrections Corporation of America
(NYSE:CXC) announced today it has acquired Concept Incorporated, the third
largest company in the corrections industry, in a stock-for-stock transaction
worth $40 million.  The purchase of the privately held company expands CCA to
36 facilities and 21,487 beds under contract.
         In the agreement finalized yesterday, shareholders of Concept
Incorporated received 1,362,496 shares of restricted CCA common stock, and the
company became a wholly-owned subsidiary of CCA.  The purchase is being
accounted for as a pooling-of-interests.
         Concept Incorporated had assets of $9.6 million at December 31, and
net income for the 1994 year of $763,803 on revenues of $23.3 million.
         "We pursued the acquisition because of the exceptional compatibility
between Concept and CCA," said Chairman and CEO Doctor R. Crants.  "Their focus
on quality operations and customer service mirrors CCA's philosophy, and the
markets they serve conform closely with our own."
         Concept Incorporated currently manages six secure facilities:  four
for the state of Texas, one in Alabama and one for the Bureau of Prisons in
Arizona, totaling 2,926 beds.  Two other Concept Incorporated facilities in
Texas with a combined 1,500 beds are scheduled to open during the summer of
1995.
         "This transaction is an exciting achievement.  It dramatically
increases both our revenue base and our market share," Crants continued, "and
the economies of scale we except to realize

should expand profitability in future years.  We believe the strength of the
combined companies will substantially extend CCA's competitive advantage in our
rapidly growing marketplace."
         Concept Incorporated, founded in 1986 and headquartered in Louisville,
Ken., employs approximately 855 people.  Plans call for Concept's facilities to
continue operating with existing management and staff.  By September 30
corporate functions will be consolidated in Nashville and duplicate expenses
eliminated.
         CCA will release its first quarter earnings report tomorrow, April 27.
Results will reflect CCA and its subsidiaries before the pooling of Concept
Incorporated.  Combined and restated financials to include Concept Incorporated
will begin with the second quarter report in late July.
         CCA provides detention and corrections services for governmental
agencies.  The company is the industry leader in private-sector corrections
with 21,487 beds in 36 facilities under contract in nine U.S. states, Puerto
Rico, Australia and the United Kingdom.  CCA's full range of services includes
finance, design, construction, renovation and management of new or existing
jails and prisons, as well as long-distance transportation of inmates.
