The Arkansas Department of Corrections is accredited by the American Correctional Association (ACA). Each of the various correctional facilities and administrative areas within the division undergo audits every three (3) years by ACA. Click the buttons below to view the most recent ACA reports for each division.

ACA is the oldest, and largest, association developed specifically for practitioners in the correctional profession. Since 1954, ACA has published operational standards designed to enhance correctional practices for the benefit of inmates, staff, administrators, and the public. ACA now publishes performance based standard manuals for all areas of the correctional profession.

ACA Performance-Based Standards are the measure used by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) to meet, and exceed, the requirements for a constitutional minimal standard of care under the Civil Rights of Institutionalized Person’s Act, 42 U.S.C. § 1997 et seq.
