Liberty Hall Recommended for ACA Re-accreditation
Roseland, NJ, Apr 17, 2006 - A committee of American Correctional Association (ACA) auditors recommended Community Education Center's Liberty Hall for re-accreditation based on compliance with ACA national standards. The auditors gave the facility a score of 100% on mandatory and non-mandatory standards, which are established by ACA and serve as a benchmark for the effective operation of correctional facilities throughout the United States.
"I'm proud of CEC's accomplishments. We will continue to strive to meet and exceed the national standards set by ACA. I'd like to express my gratitude to all those who helped us reach our accreditation goals," said John Clancy, President and CEO of Community Education Centers.
Liberty Hall not only scored 100% on its re-accrediation, but also received many compliments from ACA auditors who were especially impressed with the professionalism of Liberty Hall staff and the cleanliness of the facility.
The American Correctional Association requires agencies to undergo re-accreditation every three years. During the three-year accreditation period, the agency submits an annual certification statement that is due on the anniversary of the accreditation date. It contains information on current standards compliance levels, significant events and/or major staffing changes; physical plant renovations and other information related to ACA standards.
During the two-day audit, committee members reviewed the standards based on written documentation, observations, and interviews with staff and residents at each facility.
