SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Pomerantz Law Firm Investigates Claims On Behalf of Investors of Corrections Corporation of America - CXW

NEW YORK, Feb. 10, 2014

The investigation concerns whether Corrections Corporation and certain of its officers and/or directors have violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. 

On Wednesday, February 5, 2014, a report published by the The Wall Street Journal announced a settlement between Corrections Corporation and the State of Idaho concerning allegations of fraud and understaffing of the prison system by the Company. The company has previously been the subject of allegations by prisoners that its understaffing practices have led to increased violence within prisons. Then, on Saturday, February 8, 2014, the Idaho State Journal reported that the Idaho Attorney General is seeking a criminal investigation into the Company's allegedly fraudulent and unsafe business practices.

On this news, Corrections Corporation shares fell $1.15 per share to $31.74, or more than 3.50%, on February 10, 2014.
