Last week Cornhusker State Industries was reaccredited by the American Correctional Association (ACA). The ACA is a part of the Global Correctional Association.  CSI scored 100% on their Mandatory files and 100% on their Non-Mandatory files. Accreditation from the ACA is earned through compliance with standards that are developed, reviewed, and refined for the operation of correctional programs that safeguard life, health, and safety of personnel working in corrections as well as the offenders. Compliance begins with review and revision of our Procedures each year, review and revision of each standard, review, and revision of each standards file and all documentation to prove compliance. This documentation is requested from all areas of CSI as well as other Facilities by the ACA Manager.

"As ACA Manager I can tell you it is quite a process to review and revise, inspect all areas of CSI, get all the documentation, and prepare the files to make sure CSI is meeting or exceeding the standards. It is something that is ongoing throughout the year to prepare for the audits while also being HR and Safety Manager. That is why cooperation from CSI staff and other facilities staff is not only important but really appreciated.” said Sam Palin HR/ACA/Safety Manager.

CSI will be reaccredited in 2022.
