These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the statements made. These include, but are not limited to, the risks and uncertainties associated with: (i) changes in government policy, legislation and regulations that affect utilization of the private sector for corrections, detention, and residential reentry services, in general, or our business, in particular, including, but not limited to, the continued utilization of our correctional and detention facilities by the federal government as a consequence of presidential executive orders, and the impact of any changes to immigration reform and sentencing laws (we do not, under longstanding policy, lobby for or against policies or legislation that would determine the basis for, or duration of, an individual’s incarceration or detention); (ii) our ability to obtain and maintain correctional, detention, and residential reentry facility management contracts because of reasons including, but not limited to, sufficient governmental appropriations, contract compliance, negative publicity and effects of inmate disturbances; (iii) changes in the privatization of the corrections and detention industry, the acceptance of our services, the timing of the opening of new facilities and the commencement of new management contracts (including the extent and pace at which new contracts are utilized), as well as our ability to utilize available beds; (iv) our ability to successfully activate idle facilities in a timely manner in order to meet the expected growth in demand for our facilities and services from the federal government that may occur as a result of changes in policies and actions of the current presidential administration, and to realize projected returns resulting therefrom; (v) general economic and market conditions, including, but not limited to, the impact governmental budgets can have on our contract renewals and renegotiations, per diem rates, and occupancy; (vi) fluctuations in our operating results because of, among other things, changes in occupancy levels; competition; contract renegotiations or terminations; inflation and other increases in costs of operations, including a rise in labor costs; fluctuations in interest rates and risks of operations; (vii) government budget uncertainty, the impact of the debt ceiling and government shutdowns (including, the timing of collection of federal governmental receivables while the current federal government shutdown continues) and changing budget priorities; (viii) our ability to successfully identify and consummate future development and acquisition opportunities and realize projected returns resulting therefrom; and (ix) the availability of debt and equity financing on terms that are favorable to us, or at all.

c • The private corrections industry cares for less than 8% of the nation's prison population • CoreCivic is the largest non-government owner of correctional and detention real estate in the United States ➢ We own approximately 57% of all privately owned correctional and detention capacity ➢ We manage approximately 41% of all privately managed correctional and detention capacity Industry Market Share - 10,000 20,000 30,000 40,000 50,000 60,000 70,000 80,000 CoreCivic GEO* All Others Beds Owned Correctional and Detention Facility Beds *GEO Group – As reported on company supplemental financial information in November 2025 Federal Detention Market • Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) outsources approximately 91% of its detention beds ➢ The private sector manages approximately 79% of ICE detention populations ➢ We manage approximately 25% of ICE detention populations • US Marshals Service (USMS) outsources approximately 86% of its detention beds ➢ The private sector manages 33% of USMS detention populations ➢ We manage approximately 12% of USMS detention populations 4

c • The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on our occupancy and cash flows. • Facility occupancy has been rising steadily since the end of the COVID-19 pandemic. ICE utilization, along with new state contracts, drove first nine-months of 2025 increase in occupancy. • A recovery in occupancy to pre- pandemic levels (or above) could provide significant growth in earnings and cash flows. • Occupancy calculations include beds in facilities that are currently idle. Occupancy Recovery Could Drive Significant Earnings Growth 5 COVID-19 Impact Period

c • After hitting multi-decade highs during the federal fiscal years 2021-2024, apprehension rates along the US Southwest border have slowed in F2025 due to enhanced enforcement and deterrence, particularly since the implementation of Executive Orders by the Trump Administration. • Implemented in March 2020, Title 42, an emergency power granted to the Executive branch due to the pandemic, allowed U.S. CBP to quickly remove all single adults apprehended at the Southwest Border—reducing the demand for detention beds. On May 11, 2023, Title 42 officially ended, and detention populations increased. • In March 2024, Congress funded 41,500 detention beds for ICE, up from 34,000. The "One Big Beautiful Bill" Act was signed into law in early July 2025 and increased ICE funding by $45B over 4 years, intended to expand detention from a current level of ~60,000 to ~100,000. SW Border Apprehensions Declining, but ICE Detention Population Rising 6

c To boost total available detention beds, accelerate deportation initiatives and explore cost savings, the current administration has considered non-traditional detention options outside of the private sector. This pool of "alternative" beds may include: military bases (domestically and at Guantanamo Bay), soft-sided facilities (Alligator Alcatraz), idled or under-utilized Bureau of Prisons facilities, and international options, particularly in El Salvador. Private Sector Advantages vs "Alternative" Beds 7 • Proven Solution with over 40 years of experience providing detention space and services for ICE. CoreCivic understands the complexity and nuance of the ICE mission. • The Private Sector is the Low-Cost Provider compared with alternatives. • We meet the various Federal Detention Standards helping to provide a safe and humane environment. Other facilities and "alternative" options may not meet the physical or staffing requirements of Federal Detention Standards, which are the highest standards in the United States. • We meet environmental regulations and our facilities are weather-proof. • Our facilities are subject to various external audits and inspections and demonstrate a history of compliance. • Logistically efficient - domestic locations near transportation hubs, key ports of entry, and immigration legal infrastructure. CoreCivic and the private sector are adept at seamlessly integrating transportation with detention requirements. • Readily Available Capacity. Alternative capacity may require construction or reconfiguration, which often requires high costs and delayed availability. Advantages to ICE Using Private Sector Facilities

c • New contract award terms range from two to five years with similar margins to previously announced contracts, taking into consideration size and geographic location • The July 2025 acquisition of the Farmville Detention Center contributes an additional $40 million in annual revenue not depicted in the table above • In aggregate, estimated annual revenue generation from value creation activities in 2025 is approaching $550 million once the facilities reach stabilized occupancy • Once these facilities achieve stabilized occupancy, run-rate EBITDA is expected to be no less than $450 million, a ~26% increase from currently forecasted 2025 Adjusted EBITDA guidance of $357 million at the midpoint ICE Demand Leads to Facility Activations in 2025 8 Estimated Estimated Design Annual Revenue Stabilized Facility Capacity (in thousands) Occupancy Dilley Immigration Processing Center 2,400 180,000$ Q3 2025 West Tennessee Detention Facility 600 30,000 Q1 2026 Midwest Regional Reception Center 1,033 60,000 (1) California City Immigration Processing Center 2,560 130,000 Q1 2026 Diamondback Correctional Facility 2,160 100,000 Q2 2026 8,753 500,000$ (1) Although we have been successful in hiring staff and have prepared the Midwest Regional Reception Center to accept detainees, the intake process has been delayed by legal challenges. The new agreement provides for a fixed monthly payment plus an incremental per diem payment based on detainee populations, both of which commence once the temporary injunction currently prohibiting the intake of detainees is no longer enforceable. However, we cannot predict if or when the legal challenges will be successfully resolved.

c Facility Utilization – Capacity to Meet ICE Needs 9 • This analysis does not construe a forecast; it is an illustration of the potential financial impact of CoreCivic's idle and unused bed capacity. • Idle facilities include only those owned by CoreCivic. Facilities owned by 3rd parties are not included and present further potential. • Unused beds are only those in facilities where ICE or USMS is the primary customer. • Analysis does not contemplate additional unused beds in facilities where ICE or USMS is not currently the primary customer. • Operating margins are typically higher when topping off occupancy at facilities with unused beds due to operating leverage over fixed costs. • Analysis does not contemplate the possible use of surge capacity, which may boost the available beds at facilities. In July 2025, ~$45B was approved for ICE detention capacity under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, the highest ever approved, and is intended to fund ~100,000 detention beds. If utilized, ICE will need more than ~40,000 additional detention beds.

c Human Rights – CoreCivic's Approach and Goals 20 Human rights are foundational in all that we do, therefore the salient rights of residents and employees are considered throughout our ESG and corporate strategies. We recognize the inherent dignity of every person and the benefits of promoting a culture of individual respect. Respecting the rights of those in our care is fundamental to our mission and a core component of the ethical framework that governs our business and operations. We operationalize our approach through the following management practices: Residents Employees • Maintain detailed policies and procedures that promote and protect human rights • Train all security personnel on risks to our operations during live, in-person training before interacting with residents and annually thereafter • Provide grievance mechanisms for residents and their friends and family members to report issues • Audit and monitor facility-level performance against key industry-specific obligations • Engage with external stakeholders on human rights issues • Maintain detailed policies on employee rights, including equal employment opportunities; sexual harassment; harassment based on race, sex, and other protected characteristics; and accommodations for persons with disabilities • Train all employees on harassment and discrimination policies annually • Train all security personnel on human rights risks associated with corrections and detention operations • Maintain multiple grievance mechanisms for reporting concerns and prohibit retaliation or reprisals for such reports • Apply investigative resources and disciplinary mechanisms to enforce employee rights Our human rights policy follows the United Nations Guiding Principles Framework and was developed along with an external expert on human rights. In 2024, we completed human rights assessments at 50% of facilities with immigrant detainees, along with four other locations. These assessments continue in 2025.

Page 23
c American Correctional Association ("ACA") • CoreCivic Safety facilities that maintain ACA accreditation undergo audits by independent auditors trained and assigned by the ACA on a three-year cycle. • ACA audits review all facets of correctional operations, including inmate/resident health care. Prison Rape Elimination Act ("PREA") • All CoreCivic Safety and Community facilities are subject to auditing on a three-year cycle for compliance with PREA. National Commission on Correctional Health Care ("NCCHC") • Some CoreCivic Safety facilities require accreditation by NCCHA, an independent organization that reviews health care operations in correctional environments. Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs ("OFCCP") • CoreCivic facilities with federal populations are periodically audited by OFCCP of the United States Department of Labor. All CoreCivic facilities are subject to inspections related to state and local requirements in areas such as fire safety and food service, while several CoreCivic facilities are subject to inspection in connection with oversight of our government partner agencies by other, independent government agencies, such as the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Inspector General (BOP and USMS), Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Office of Inspector General (ICE), DHS Office of Detention Oversight, and DHS Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties. CoreCivic employees have access to government inspectors general and similar offices for purposes of reporting fraud, waste and other forms of misconduct in connection with government contracts, and such offices typically have authority, by law or by contract, to investigate our operations and the conduct of our employees and agents.
