BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)

9 Months Ended

Sep. 30, 2023

On January 26, 2021, President Biden issued the Executive Order on Reforming Our Incarceration System to Eliminate the Use of Privately Operated Criminal Detention Facilities ("Private Prison EO"). The Private Prison EO directs the Attorney General to not renew United States Department of Justice ("DOJ") contracts with privately operated criminal detention facilities. The United States Marshals Service ("USMS") is an agency of the DOJ that utilizes CoreCivic's facilities and services, and accounted for 22% of CoreCivic's total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022. Another federal agency that utilizes CoreCivic's facilities and services, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE"), is not covered by the Private Prison EO, as ICE is an agency of the Department of Homeland Security ("DHS"), not the DOJ.

CoreCivic currently has two detention facilities that have direct contracts with the USMS. One of the contracts was renewed in September 2023 and now expires in September 2028. The second direct contract with the USMS expires in September 2025. It is too early to predict the outcome of the expiration of the contract scheduled to expire in September 2025, and future developments could occur prior to the scheduled expiration date.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the SEC applicable to financial statements beginning January 1, 2023 or later did not, or are not expected to, have a material effect on the Company's results of operations or financial position.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

To meet the reporting requirements of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 825, "Financial Instruments", regarding fair value of financial instruments, CoreCivic calculates the estimated fair value of financial instruments using market interest rates, quoted market prices of similar instruments, or discounted cash flow techniques with observable Level 1 inputs for publicly traded debt and Level 2 inputs for all other financial instruments, as defined in ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurement". At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no material differences between the carrying amounts and the estimated fair values of CoreCivic's financial instruments, other than as follows (in thousands):


	September 30, 2023						December 31, 2022
	Carrying Amount			Fair Value			Carrying Amount			Fair Value
Note receivable from Agecroft Prison Management, LTD	$	2,766		$	3,014		$	2,741		$	3,076
