I am looking at NCCHC accreditation for the facility I manage. Would be interested in the pro's or con's of either organization's accreditation. |
| The concept of Accreditation is to only 'provide' more 'funds' for that Department. Its sole purpose is to 'line the pockets' of management. Accreditation is just a fancy word that doesn't mean nothing to the hard working officers that work the floors of those facilities. Wake up folks, crime is getting out of hand, by the year 2010, there will be (5) million incarcerated within the United States. The Government needs to address this serious problem and build Super-Max Prisons and Jails. The Inmate(s) of today are extremely more hostile and dangerous than ever. 'Time' will tell if I am right, their are many good officers that will confirm this....Forget about Accreditation and start thinking the safety of both the officers and staff. | |

I think one of the reasons the average offender is more violent is because the average age of offenders is younger. The majority of officers between 20-30 years old is managing offenders of the same age. I agree that the credit should go to those who are following policy and procedure, but if you just lock them up, where is the rehabilitation phase of the process? Money funded through accreditation should be invested into training and education of officers on how to better protect themselves in open population facilities. |

Let me know if you find a forum of users more suited to respond to your question. I’m interested in a response to your inquiry from those at a management level. |
