                       CORRECTIONS CORPORATION OF AMERICA
                           2001 RESTRICTED STOCK PLAN

                                    RECITALS:

        A. The Corrections Corporation of America 2001 Restricted Stock Plan
(the "Plan") is intended as the successor restricted stock plan to the
Correctional Management Services Corporation 1998 Restricted Stock Plan (the
"CMSC Plan"), the Prison Management Services, Inc. 1998 Restricted Stock Plan
(the "PMSI Plan") and the Juvenile and Jail Facility Management Services, Inc.
1998 Restricted Stock Plan (the "JJFMS Plan," and collectively with the CMSC
Plan and the PMSI Plan, the "Merged Plans"). As of the Effective Date (as herein
defined), the Merged Plans will be merged with and into the Plan, and thereafter
the benefits to which the former participants in the Merged Plans are entitled
will be determined in accordance with the Plan. Unless as otherwise provided or
required by the context, the terms used in these Recitals have the meanings set
forth in Section 2 of the Plan.

        B. In September 1998, CMSC established the CMSC Plan, pursuant to which
CMSC issued restricted shares of its common stock to participants in the plan.
Effective October 1, 2000, CMSC merged with and into the Company, with the
Company being the surviving corporation in the merger. Pursuant to the merger,
the shares of CMSC common stock issued under the CMSC Plan were exchanged for
shares of Common Stock. As a result of the merger, the Board of Directors became
administrator of the CMSC Plan, and the shares of Common Stock issued in the
merger to participants in the CMSC Plan remained subject to the terms of the
plan.

        C. In September 1998, PMSI and JJFMS established the PMSI Plan and the
JJFMS Plan, respectively, and each issued restricted shares of its common stock
to participants in its plan. Effective December 1, 2000, each of PMSI and JJFMS
merged with and into the Company, with the Company being the surviving
corporation in the mergers. Pursuant to the mergers, the shares of common stock
of PMSI and JJFMS issued under the PMSI Plan and the JJFMS Plan were exchanged
for shares of Common Stock. As a result of the mergers, the Board of Directors
became administrator of each of the PMSI Plan and JJFMS Plan, and the shares of
Common Stock issued in the mergers to participants in those plans remained
subject to the terms of the plans.

        D. The Board of Directors desires to consolidate the administration of
the Merged Plans and to amend certain terms of such plans in accordance
therewith. Accordingly, the Board of Directors has determined (i) to adopt the
Plan on behalf of the Company, and (ii) as administrator of the Merged Plans and
pursuant to the terms of such plans, to cause the each of the Merged Plans to be
merged with and into the Plan.

<PAGE>

Plans (each, a "Restricted Stock Agreement") shall remain in effect, except that
such agreements shall from and after the Effective Date be interpreted by
reference to the Plan and the Shares rather than to the applicable Merged Plan

be held, administered, distributed and otherwise disposed of in accordance with
the terms and conditions of the applicable Merged Plan.

        5. Shares Subject to the Plan. 4,045,004 Shares are currently subject to

discretion of the Board of Directors, become subject to the provisions of the
Plan. The number of Shares subject to the Plan shall be adjusted, as
appropriate, as the result of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization
or other adjustment in the capital stock of Corrections Corporation of America.

        6. Participants; Restricted Stock Awards. The Participants as of the
Effective Date are listed on Schedule A attached hereto and incorporated herein
by this reference. Each Participant has been issued such number of Shares as
listed on Schedule A opposite such Participant's name. On and after the
Effective Date, the Shares shall be subject to the restrictions described below
and to such additional restrictions and conditions as may be set forth in any
Restricted Stock Agreement.

               (a) Vesting and Forfeiture. The Shares issued to each Participant
        vest in the Participant or his estate on the Vesting Date, provided such
        Participant is employed by the Company or any other member of the CCA
        Controlled Group at all times during the Vesting Period. If at any time
        during the Vesting Period a Participant ceases to be employed by the
        Company or any other member of the CCA Controlled Group for any reason
        (other than death), all of the Shares held by such Participant shall
        immediately and automatically be forfeited without monetary
        consideration to CCA and shall be automatically canceled and retired.
        From time to time, the Company shall amend Schedule A to reflect any
        forfeitures of Shares hereunder.

               (b) Certificates. Each certificate issued evidencing the Shares
        shall be held by the Company, or its designee, as custodian of the Plan,
        and shall bear an appropriate legend disclosing the restrictions on
        transferability imposed on such Shares by the Plan and the Restricted
        Stock Agreement.

               (c) Certain Rights of Participants. During the Vesting Period,
        (i) each Participant shall have all rights of a stockholder of
        Corrections Corporation of America (except as otherwise provided
        herein), including without limitation the right to vote and receive
        dividends (subject to the provisions of Section 5 hereof) on the Shares,
        and (ii) the Shares, and each Participant's rights with respect to the
        Shares, may not be sold, assigned, transferred, exchanged, pledged,
        hypothecated, or otherwise encumbered. If as a result of a stock
        dividend, stock split, recapitalization or other adjustment in the
        capital stock or stated capital of Corrections Corporation of America,
        or as the result of a merger, consolidation,

                                        4

<PAGE>

        or other reorganization, the Common Stock is increased, reduced or
        otherwise changed and by virtue thereof the Participant shall be
        entitled to new or additional or different shares, such new or
        additional shares shall be subject to the same terms, conditions and
        restrictions as the original Shares.

               (d) Lapse of Restrictions. Upon expiration of the Vesting Period,
        certificates evidencing the Shares which have vested (without the
        foregoing restrictive legend) shall be delivered to the Participant or
        his legal representative as provided herein. Each such new certificate
        shall bear such alternative legend as the Board shall specify.

        7. Non-Assignability. The right to receive Shares under the terms and
provisions of this Plan shall not be transferable.

        8. Rights to Terminate Employment. Nothing in the Plan or in any
agreement relating to the Shares shall confer upon any Participant the right to
continue in the employment of the Company or any other member of the CCA
Controlled Group or affect any right which the Company or any other member of
the CCA Controlled Group may have to terminate the employment of such
Participant.

        9. Withholding. Upon the lapse of restrictions under the Plan, the
Company shall have the right to withhold from awards due the Participant, or to
require the Participant to remit to the Company (or its designee), any amounts
sufficient to satisfy any federal, state and/or local withholding tax
requirements prior to the delivery of any certificate for such Shares.

        10. Non-Uniform Determinations. The Board of Directors' determinations
under the Plan (including without limitation determinations relating to the
forfeiture of Shares) need not be uniform and may be made selectively among
Participants, regardless of whether such Participants are similarly situated.

        11. Termination and Amendment. This Plan may be terminated, modified, or
amended by the Board of Directors; provided, however, that no amendment that
adversely affects the rights of any Participant with respect to Shares issued to
such Participant shall be effective without the Participant's consent.

        12. Duration of the Plan. This Plan shall be effective as of April 1,
2001, subject to its adoption by the Board of Directors. This Plan shall remain
in effect until all Shares awarded under the Plan are free of all restrictions
imposed by the Plan and agreements thereunder.

the CCA Controlled Group may have to terminate the employment of such
Participant.

        8. Withholding. Upon the lapse of restrictions under the Plan, the
Company shall have the right to withhold from awards due the Participant, or to
require the Participant to remit to the Company (or its designee), any amounts

requirements prior to the delivery of any certificate for such Shares.
