My apologies for the delay in my response. Corrections Corporation of
America (CCA) now leases their facility to the California Department of
Corrections and Rehabilitation for state prisoners. Any previous contracts,
agreements we would have had with CCA in the past are no longer valid.

I apologize for the continued delay. Concerning CCA the city was not involved in the RFP or bidding process. Perhaps more clarification would help me to assist you better.
