<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On August 11, 2016, the Board of Directors of Corrections Corporation of America (the &#147;Company&#148;), in accordance with the Company&#146;s Bylaws,
expanded the size of the Company&#146;s Board of Directors (the &#147;Board&#148;) to ten members and appointed Ms. Stacia A. Hylton to serve as a member of the Board, effective immediately, until the Company&#146;s 2017 Annual Meeting of
Stockholders and until her successor is duly elected and qualified. The Board has determined that Ms. Hylton is independent within the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the New York Stock Exchange as currently in effect. There were
no arrangements or understandings between Ms. Hylton and any other persons pursuant to which she was selected as a director. In addition, Ms. Hylton is not a party to any transaction, or any proposed transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to
Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In connection with Ms. Hylton&#146;s appointment to the Board, Ms. Hylton received an initial grant of 2,206 shares of the
Company&#146;s restricted stock units. The restricted stock units were issued pursuant to the Company&#146;s Amended and Restated 2008 Stock Incentive Plan and are subject to an individual award agreement, the form of which was filed previously with
the Securities and Exchange Commission. Ms. Hylton will serve on the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Ms. Hylton will be compensated for
her service according to the Company&#146;s policy for non-employee directors. A description of the compensation payable to members of the Company&#146;s non-employee directors was included in the Company&#146;s Definitive Proxy Statement on
Schedule 14A, filed on March 30, 2016. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Ms.&nbsp;Hylton, age 56, retired in 2015 as Director of the U.S. Marshals Service. She was nominated by President
Barack Obama and confirmed by the United States Senate in 2010. Previously, Ms.&nbsp;Hylton was President of Hylton, Kirk and Associates, a Virginia-based private consulting firm, and served as the Federal Detention Trustee from 2004 to 2010. From
1980 to 2004, Ms.&nbsp;Hylton served in progressively senior leadership positions within the U.S. Marshals Service. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Ms. Hylton currently serves as a
Director on the Board for SPOK.INC, a publicly traded communications solutions company, where she also serves on the Financial Audit Committee. Ms. Hylton is a Principle of LS Advisory, which is a New Jersey-based business solutions advisory

the Executive Committee for the International Chiefs of Police and on the Accreditation and Policy Committees for the National Sheriffs Association. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In
connection with Ms. Hylton&#146;s appointment to the Board, the Company intends to enter into an Indemnification Agreement (the &#147;Indemnification Agreement&#148;) with Ms. Hylton in the form disclosed in the Company&#146;s public filings and
previously approved by the Board, as referenced below. Pursuant to the terms of the Indemnification Agreement, the Company will be required to indemnify and advance expenses to Ms. Hylton to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law, except as
otherwise provided in the Indemnification Agreement, if she is or is threatened to be made a party to a proceeding by reason of her status as a director of the Company. The foregoing description of the Indemnification Agreement does not purport to
be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Indemnification Agreement, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit&nbsp;10.1 to the Company&#146;s Current Report on Form&nbsp;8-K, filed with the Securities and
