 decreased from 24.8% in 2004 to 23.4% in 2005.

Total revenue for the first quarter of 2005 increased to $285.9 million from $276.8 million during the first quarter of 2004, as total compensated man-days increased slightly from 5.5 million to 5.6 million compensated man-days. The increase in compensated man-days was primarily the result of a full quarter of management of the six facilities in Texas awarded to the Company effective January January: see month.  15, 2004, as well as the commencement of operations at the Delta Correctional Facility located in Greenwood, Mississippi Greenwood is situated in Leflore County, Mississippi at the eastern edge of the Mississippi Delta, approximately 96 miles north of Jackson, Mississippi, and 130 miles south of Memphis, Tennessee.

In a fire insurance policy, for example, the term occupancy
 for the first quarter of 2005 decreased to 89.4% from 95.6% in the first quarter of 2004. A significant factor affecting the decline in occupancy was an increase in the previously reported design capacities of a number of facilities based on the nature of the customer utilizing the facilities. These reconfigurations are typically completed with minimal capital outlays capital outlay

See capital expenditure.
. Excluding these changes in design capacity, average compensated occupancy for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, would have been 92.5%. Also affecting compensated occupancy for the quarter was the expansion by approximately 2,500 beds at seven of the Company's facilities, substantially all of which were completed subsequent to October October: see month.  1, 2004. Finally, the Company did experience population declines from the first quarter 2004 levels at several facilities, as discussed above.

 for the second quarter of 2005 to be in the range of $0.37 to $0.39, and full year diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $1.74 to $1.82, excluding expenses associated with debt refinancing transactions. Although the accounting for share-based payments for the implementation of the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R has been delayed until 2006, the Company's full year guidance for 2005 includes expenses totaling approximately $0.03 per diluted share, net of taxes, for the amortization of restricted stock issued to employees who have historically been granted stock options.

During 2005, the Company expects to invest approximately $127.0 million in capital expenditures, consisting of approximately $82.4 million in prison construction and expansion, $23.6 million in maintenance capital expenditures and approximately $21.0 million in information technology. The increase in capital expenditures is primarily attributed to construction costs at the new Red Rock Correctional Center that were previously expected to be incurred during 2006.

          CORRECTIONS CORPORATION OF AMERICA AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTE TO SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Net income excluding special charges, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted
free cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures. The Company believes
that these measures are important operating measures that supplement
discussion and analysis of the Company's results of operations and are
used to review and assess operating performance of the Company and its
correctional facilities and their management teams. The Company
believes that it is useful to provide investors, lenders and security
analysts' disclosures of its results of operations on the same basis
as that used by management.

Management and investors review both the Company's overall performance
(including GAAP EPS, net income, and Adjusted free cash flow) and the
operating performance of the Company's correctional facilities
(Adjusted EBITDA). Adjusted EBITDA is useful as a supplemental measure
of the performance of the Company's correctional facilities because it
does not take into account depreciation and amortization or the impact
of the Company's financing strategies or tax provisions. Because the
historical cost accounting convention used for real estate assets
requires depreciation (except on land), this accounting presentation
assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes at a level
rate over time. Because of the unique structure, design and use of the
Company's correctional facilities, management believes that assessing
performance of the Company's correctional facilities without the
impact of depreciation or amortization is useful. The calculation of
Adjusted free cash flow substitutes capital expenditures incurred to
maintain the functionality and condition of the Company's correctional
facilities in lieu of a provision for depreciation; Adjusted free cash
flow also excludes certain other non-cash expenses that do not affect
the Company's ability to service debt.

The Company may make adjustments to GAAP net income, Adjusted EBITDA
and Adjusted free cash flow from time to time for certain other income
and expenses that it considers non-recurring, infrequent or unusual,
such as the special charge in the preceding calculation of earnings
per diluted share excluding special charges, even though such items
may require cash settlement, because such items do not reflect a
necessary component of the ongoing operations of the Company. Other
companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted free cash flow
differently than the Company does, or adjust for other items, and
therefore comparability may be limited. EPS excluding special charges,
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted free cash flow are not measures of
performance under GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative
to cash flows from operating activities or as a measure of liquidity
or an alternative to net income as indicators of the Company's
operating performance or any other measure of performance derived in
accordance with GAAP. This data should be read in conjunction with the
Company's consolidated financial statements and related notes included
in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
