NASHVILLE, Tenn., Nov. 08, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CoreCivic, Inc. (NYSE:CXW) (the Company) announced today its financial results for the third quarter of 2017.

"The second half of the year has already included a number of positive developments for CoreCivic.  In addition to entering into or commencing five new contracts with government partners, we advanced our strategy of diversifying the Company by expanding our residential reentry portfolio through additional acquisitions," said Damon T. Hininger, CoreCivic's President and Chief Executive Officer.  "We continue to be pleased with the opportunities we see in the market to meaningfully grow our CoreCivic Community and CoreCivic Properties platforms as we continue to expand and diversify the solutions we offer a growing number of government partners."
Third Quarter 2017 Results
Total revenue in the third quarter of 2017 was $442.8 million compared to $474.9 million in the third quarter of 2016.  In the third quarter of 2017, we generated $7.6 million of additional revenue compared with the prior year quarter at our newly constructed Trousdale Turner Correctional Center and at our newly expanded Red Rock Correctional Center pursuant to new contracts with the States of Tennessee and Arizona, respectively, that both commenced in 2016.  We also generated $6.0 million of additional revenue under existing contracts from the U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) and the States of Colorado and Hawaii.  However, these increases were offset by the previously disclosed amendment and extension of the contract for our South Texas Family Residential Center (STFRC) effective in November 2016, and the previously disclosed expiration of two contracts with the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) at our Eden Detention Center and our Cibola County Corrections

DTMesa Transformation U Can Believe In > "Rinky-Dink" Is Back!

Here's probably the only sign that the powers-that-be inside City Hall have been successful in the last three years with their top-down plans to transform downtown Mesa: How vibrant and how merry can Mesa Main Street get skating on thin ice?
Yes, it's better for sure than a parking lot that starts out by dumping a few piles of dirt on top of the asphalt heat island directly across from the $100-Million investment international award-winning Mesa Arts Center.
It's the 2017 Winter Wonderland Ice Rink * 
https://merrymainst.ticketleap.com/ice-rink/

* Information published on that site is incorrect: Ice skating on a 5,500 square foot real ice rink -- "the only outdoor holiday ice rink in the East Valley" ???
WRONG.
CityScape in Phoenix  
. . . but perhaps this is one small seasonal pop-up event lasting for 40 days during the Thanksgiving-to-New Years Holiday season to temporarily make-over the New Urban DTMesa when all these other bogus so-called "redevelopment plans", Big League Dreams and  Pie-In-The-Sky proposals to snooker Mesa taxpayers have failed to get off-the-ground:
$75,000 for City Center
$250,000 for ASU Satellite Campus
$500,00 Private Funds for Yes1Mesa

Anyone want more "dirt" about the 2017 Merry Main Street?
