The TransCor Story
Providing Excellence in Prisoner Transportation since 1990.
TransCor was founded in 1990 in Nashville, Tennessee, which is where the company is based and headquartered. In 1994 we were acquired by CoreCivic (formerly Corrections Corporation of America), and we remain the most experienced company in prisoner and detainee transportation in the United States.
By the numbers, TransCor has safely moved — by ground vehicles and aircraft — more than 2 million inmates and detainees throughout the United States and its territories. We handle men and women, including juveniles and adults, at all security levels for local, state, and federal agencies.
Our Goal
To be an innovative and cost saving solution to government agencies seeking safe and secure transportation of prisoners and detainees by well-trained corrections professionals.
Our Pledge
To recruit and train the industry’s best, dedicated to maintaining a workforce fully one-third comprised of retired, reserve and active duty military, offering a paramilitary command structure and generous benefits package which includes a safe harbor matching contribution retirement plan.
The TCA Way
TransCor shares a collective set of values that unite our staff and provide direction for our organization. These values are summarized in The TCA Way.
