Exhibit 99.14
E-Mail to Lobbyists
Subject: The parent companies of PHS and CMS have entered into a definitive agreement to
combine
Attached you will find a news release that went out on the wire this morning with some exciting
news about our company. After careful consideration, the parent companies of our company and
(CORRECTIONAL MEDICAL SERVICES/ PHS CORRECTIONAL HEALTHCARE) have announced a definitive agreement
to merge.
Combining these two leading companies will be good for the corrections agencies we serve. But, the
transaction is subject to appropriate regulatory review and other approvals. That is a standard
step in the process for any combination such as this. We expect the merger to close in the second
quarter of 2011. So, for now the two companies will continue to operate independently.
I will be in touch with you soon to answer any questions you may have, and we will want to work
closely with you in determining our most effective representation in the various states in which we
operate. We appreciate your continued work on our behalf.
I look forward to speaking with you soon
