NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of Corrections Corporation of America securities (NYSE: CXW) from February 27, 2012 through August 17, 2016, inclusive (the “Class Period”) of the important October 24, 2016 lead plaintiff deadline in the class action.

NO CLASS HAS YET BEEN CERTIFIED IN THE ABOVE ACTION. UNTIL A CLASS IS CERTIFIED, YOU ARE NOT REPRESENTED BY COUNSEL UNLESS YOU RETAIN ONE. YOU MAY ALSO REMAIN AN ABSENT CLASS MEMBER AND DO NOTHING AT THIS POINT. YOU MAY RETAIN COUNSEL OF YOUR CHOICE.

According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Corrections Corporation’s facilities lacked adequate safety and security standards and were less efficient at offering correctional services than the Federal Bureau of Prisons’ (“BOP”) facilities; (2) Corrections Corporation’s rehabilitative services for inmates were less effective than those provided by BOP; (3) consequently, the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) was unlikely to renew and/or extend its contracts with Corrections Corporation; and (4) as a result, Corrections Corporation’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than October 24, 2016.
