Amid continuing scrutiny of the private prison industry, Nashville-based Corrections Corporation of America is changing its name to CoreCivic, the Tennessean reports. The new name is designed to communicate that the company solves “tough challenges facing government at all levels and ... the deep sense of service that we feel every day to help people,” President and CEO Damon T. Hininger said. The company has faced challenges in recent months as the federal government announced it would end contracts with private prisons.
