Accreditation is a system to verify that correctional agencies are in compliance with national standards promulgated by the ACA. Accreditation is achieved through a series of reviews, evaluations, audits and hearings.”

In this scenario the accreditation manager will have to do some research, reviews, evaluations on the previous incidents that were reported in order to be in compliance and also come with an accurate plan to solve thing that are not in compliance. From this point on a mandatory training should be the next step and for the new hired this should be done at least once a year to keep the refresh code of ethics this way there will be less incidents reports that can cause the facility to be investigated and possible shut down.

As an accreditation manager all supervisors should provide a regular and documented supervision report on the officers under his charge to make sure they all following ethical codes and protocols.

Some facilities practice independent monitoring periodically to ensure that all personnel are adhering to the ethical codes and protocols. One of the best ethical practices that some facilities are implementing is having a disciplinary action in case rules are not being followed, first start with counseling of the individual, then letters of reprimand, demotion, transfer to another facility and last termination of employment, this should give a platform for these officers to adhere to the ethical codes of correction. But in order for this disciplinary actions to work they have to be consistent with agency policies.
