CEC PA Facilities Officially Recommended for Re-accreditation by American Correctional Association
West Caldwell, NJ, May 28, 2008 - Two Community Education Centers' Pennsylvania-based facilities - Penn Pavilion and Alle Kiski Pavilion - were officially recommended for re-accreditation by the American Correctional Association (ACA) with perfect 100 percent ratings on all mandatory and non-mandatory standards. The facilities are scheduled to receive final accreditation certificates this August at the American Correctional Association conference in New Orleans, Louisiana.
"I am very proud of this accomplishment and would like to express my gratitude to our professional and dedicated employees who helped us reach our accreditation goals. Our goal is to provide quality and effective reentry treatment services for the state of Pennsylvania," said John Clancy, Chairman and CEO of CEC.
The comprehensive standards set forth by the American Correctional Association (ACA) are designed to keep staff and offenders safe and facilities in good working order. ACA accreditation is thus an important benchmark by which the character and operation of a facility can be measured. CEC currently operates fourteen facilities that are ACA accredited - all of which have received scores of 100 percent on mandatory and non-mandatory standards, a flawless record that is practically unprecedented in the industry.
CEC is a leading provider of offender reentry and in-prison treatment services in America, operating in 22 states, with 22,000 individuals in our daily care. CEC provides a full range of therapeutic residential and non-residential reentry services with a documented record of reducing recidivism.
