Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Dividend On April 29, 2015, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.62 per share of common stock, which is to be paid on May 21, 2015 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on May 11, 2015. Idle Facilities On April 28, 2015, the Company announced that it has begun to mobilize the company-owned 1,740-bed North Lake Correctional Facility (the "North Lake Facility") located in Baldwin, Michigan. The decision to mobilize the North Lake Facility was made as a result of the current demand for out-of-state correctional bed space. The mobilization effort will entail hiring staff and purchasing supplies in order to prepare the previously idle North Lake Facility to receive inmates. The Company currently does not have a contract to house inmates at the North Lake Facility, but believes that it may secure one or more contracts in the near future and expects it may need to activate the North Lake Facility in the next sixty to ninety days.
