Corrections Corporation of America paid more than $8 million in back wages and benefits to current and past employees of the California City Correctional Center, a federal correctional facility operated by CCA. An investigation by the Department of Labor determined that CCA violated the Service Contract Act and the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act by failing to pay proper prevailing wages, health and welfare benefits, overtime, and holiday pay. The investigation also uncovered record-keeping violations under the Fair Labor Standards Act.
