CXW - CoreCivic Receives Termination Notice From U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement At South Texas Family Residential Center | Benzinga
BRENTWOOD, Tenn., June 10, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CoreCivic, Inc.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, and for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, total revenues at the Facility were $156.6 million and $39.3 million, respectively.
