“CCA has been a great partner with us for nearly a decade now. Coffee Correctional Facility and Wheeler Correctional Facility certainly meet the standards of the Georgia Department of Corrections. I particularly appreciate CCA maintaining exemplary accreditation status with both the American Correctional Association and the National Commission on Correctional Healthcare.

Design, Build, Manage
CCA’s comprehensive corrections management includes a full range of services to local and state correctional systems. The scope of solutions-centered options enables prospective customers to customize the way they do business with CCA – with the confidence of experience-backed quality, timeliness and accountability.
State and local government correctional systems elect to partner with CCA in a number of ways, based on operational needs and structural plans, including:
- Managing correctional facilities
- Designing, managing and constructing new and existing correctional facilities
Each option presents industry-leading efficiencies in costs and operations, guided by American Correctional Association best practices, CCA’s own high standards, and each respective customer’s governing policies.
Managing Correctional Facilities
When a local or state government has an existing correctional facility for which no expansions are planned, they may partner with CCA to manage the facility. CCA-contracted facility management encompasses the full scale of operational correctional needs, including:
- Inmate programming
- Inmate transportation
- Food services
- Safety and security
- Employee training
- Human resources
- Community relations and
- Information technology.
CCA customizes offerings according to partnering customers’ specifications, while maintaining consistency and quality in all areas. CCA management presents uninterrupted continuity in enhanced, streamlined and cost-effective correctional services. Local or state government employees experience no disruption in employment and often realize increases in compensation and benefits, and promotional opportunities through the company’s commitment to consistent training and hiring from within.
Designing, Managing and Constructing New and Existing Correctional Facilities
As local and state correctional systems face a growing inmate population, they may partner with CCA to design and construct an expansion of an existing facility, or build an entirely new facility, in addition to assuming management of it. CCA designs and constructs facilities swiftly, with an online time – from design to opening – averaging 50 percent less than in the public sector. Established experience in architectural and construction processes enable CCA to complete projects quickly, while realizing cost savings in the process.
CCA oversees the design-build-manage process in its entirety, from site acquisition and facility design to construction and staffing. With standardized features, CCA’s prototypical facility design achieves state-of-the-art amenities in safety and security, inmate housing and overall facility outlay. CCA’s commitment to technological innovation incorporates the latest technical capabilities into new correctional infrastructure, which optimizes staff efficiency and maximizes security. CCA-constructed facilities also benefit from the company’s broad range of high-quality services in correctional management.
