Prepping For an End to Title 42. Once again, during the quarter CoreCivic continued to hire staff in anticipation of an ending of Title 42 and a surge in ICE populations. The additional expense impacted margins. Management did note that without the extra expense, guidance for 2023 would have been in the ballpark of consensus estimates for the year.

Potential New Business? Management again noted increasing interest from various states, both current clients and potential new clients, for solutions as these parties deal with a very tight labor market. With excess bed capacity available and the staff hired, CoreCivic is well positioned to pick up additional business, in our view.
