I think the service of those within our CCA Family or elsewhere — I hope you’ll join me in individuals is often overlooked and under-appreciated. expressing appreciation for their service. n For those who may not know, the men and women who serve in our National Guard and Reserves often work full-time civil- ian jobs or attend college, all while maintaining their military training so they can be ready to deploy at a moment’s notice. Members of the Guard and Reserves are deployed for overseas combat missions, counter-drug efforts, domestic emergencies and more. Part of their role is to assist with relief efforts when natural disasters hit. For example, did you know the Guard deployed more than 50,000 troops in little more than two weeks to bring relief to the Gulf States after Hurricane Katrina? It was the most massive and quickest response to a natural disaster in history. It’s notable that the National Guard is the oldest branch of the military; its origins date all the way back to 1636 when ordinary citizens formed militias to defend their families and towns from attacks. Today, the Guard and Reserves has more than 50,000 activated members, serving both state and federal “I’m especially thankful for the dedicated individuals who serve in our National Guard and Reserves.” CCA.com/InsideCCA 3 4 CCA.com/InsideCCA CAI An introduction to a different view of corrections By Louise Grant everal weeks after CCA’s acquisition of Correctional Alternatives, Inc.

Jasuta RETURN TO TABLE OF CONTENTS According to figures gleaned from the official website site of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (“TDCJ”), Texas currently has 114 facilities, some operated by private contractors, but the majority operated by the State (see Table “A” attached hereto), which are capable of housing approximately 164,000 inmates. As the current Texas legislative session winds down, “inquisitive minds” wonder if there will be an effort by the Legislature to cut some long terms costs by closing some of the current units. In an article in the Fort-Worth Star Telegram (“Lawmakers Look to Close Private Prison in Mineral Wells”), writer Dave Montgomery detailed discussions in the Senate Finance Committee on the question of whether the State should close the privately run prison in Mineral Wells.
