“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. I look forward to a continued long relationship with them.”

Out-of-State Inmate Management

Managing inmates beyond state lines, with in-state oversight

Since CCA established the first partnership correctional facility 30 years ago, we have earned a highly acclaimed reputation providing critical services for federal, state and local corrections systems.

That commitment to quality services continues today, as capacity, budgetary, capital and staffing challenges persist for many corrections systems across the United States. Common concerns include:

  • Fixed, tight budgets
  • Dangerous overcrowding situations
  • Planning and executing new construction or building expansions
  • Time constraints
  • Staffing shortages
  • Perceived lack of a timely, long-term solution

Faced with these issues, governments turn to CCA for proven solutions through out-of-state inmate management services. Through this innovative approach, inmates are housed in CCA facilities outside their states, but are managed according to the strict standards, ongoing oversight and required procedures of their respective agencies. We have helped many states seamlessly and safely manage inmate populations in this way. CCA’s out-of-state inmate management enables governments to address their corrections needs with confidence. We:

  • Provide long-term, emergency and temporary housing
  • Follow a comprehensive protocol that addresses many issues associated with safely transferring and managing out-of-state inmates
  • Adhere to state-specific policies and procedures, as well as hundreds of standards set by the American Correctional Association and our company
  • Ensure timely transfers, safe management practices and cost-effective services
  • Deliver a smooth, non-disruptive transition and ongoing living arrangements for inmates

Out-of-state flexibility also gives corrections agencies the ability to resolve immediate inmate housing needs in the event of emergencies or crises. These “just-in-time,” or immediate, beds have been used by states during natural disasters, severe weather, construction of new in-state facilities and major bed shortages.
