"
the County has agreed to enter into certain contractual agreements with governmental entities as agreed to by the County and CCA, hereinafter referred to as "Agreements", with terms and conditions agreeable to the County and CCA, to provide services for the custody and care of such Inmates
"
Thanks so much for your help,
Beryl
