Re:  Revolving Credit and Reimbursement Agreement (the "Credit Agreement")
dated as January 5, 1995 among the Wackenhut Corporation (the "Company"),
NationsBank, National Association (South) as successor to NationsBank of
Florida, National Association ("NationsBank"), as agent for the Lenders (in
such capacity, the "Agent"), and NationsBank and Bank of America Illinois as
lenders (collectively, the "Lenders").

     Ladies and Gentlemen:

     Section 7.13(b) and Section 7.13(c) of the Credit Agreement each
currently prohibits the sale, transfer or other disposition of the shares of
stock of WCC (as defined in the Credit Agreement).  You have requested that
such provisions be amended, and the Agent and the Lenders agree effective as of
January 2, 1996 (subject to the terms and conditions hereof) to amend such
provision, as herein provided.

     1.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, (a) Section 7.13(b) is
hereby amended to permit the sale of stock of WCC to the extent provided in
Section 7.13(c) and (b) Section 7.13(c) of the Credit Agreement is hereby
amended by deleting "69%" in line 6 thereof and substituting in lieu thereof
"50.1%".

     2.   The company hereby represents and warrants that the Credit Agreement
has been re-examined by the Company and that as of the date hereof:

           A. The representations and warranties made by the company in the 
Credit Agreement are true on and as of the date hereof;

           B. There has been no material adverse change in the condition, 
financial or otherwise, of the Company and its Subsidiaries since the date of 
the most recent consolidated financial statements of the Company and its 
Subsidiaries delivered to the Lender under Section 7.17 thereof;


   2



        C.   The business and properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries
are not, and since the date of the most recent consolidated financial
statements of the Company and its Subsidiaries delivered to the Lender under
Section 7.17 thereof; have not been, adversely affected in any substantial way
as the result of any fire, explosion, earthquake, accident, strike, lockout,
combination of workers, flood, embargo, riot, activities of armed forces, war
or acts of God or the public enemy, or cancellation or loss of any major
contracts;

        D.    After giving effect to the amendment effected hereby, no
condition exists which, upon the effectiveness of the amendment contemplated
hereby, would constitute a Default or an Event of Default.

    3.  The amendment to the Credit Agreement effected hereby shall not be
effective until the Agent shall have received four (4) original counterparts of
this letter (each of which shall be deemed an original and which together shall
constitute a single document) executed by the Agent, and consented to in
writing by each of the Lenders, the Company and each of the Guarantors.

    4.  By their execution hereof, each of the Guarantors (i) consent to the
amendment effected  hereby and (ii) ratify and confirm that their respective
obligations under the Guaranty Agreements remain in full force and effect.

    5.  The signatories hereto agree that from the effective date hereof, all
references in any of the Loan Documents to the Credit Agreement shall mean and
include the Credit Agreement as amended hereby.
