Alachua County Jail receives notice of reaccreditation
October 6, 2023
Staff report
ALACHUA COUNTY, Fla. – Sheriff Emery Gainey has announced that the Alachua County Jail was reaccredited by the Florida Corrections Accreditation Commission at the Excelsior level for the fourth time.
Reaccreditation occurs every three years. An accreditation program has long been recognized as a means of maintaining the highest standards of professionalism. Accreditation is the certification by an independent reviewing authority that an entity has met specific requirements and prescribed standards.
The Department of the Jail has been accredited since 1999.
So now that they’re been “reaccredited” will they be able to keep the violent ones locked up to protect the community???
Lou- that’s for the State Attorneys and judges to come through on.
This is actually a very big deal in law enforcement. It shows the jail meets and exceeds the standards for a proper facility.
It’s not easy to meet this standard.
Q: WHAT IS THE JAIL CAPACITY and what is its daily headcount?
Q2: if it’s not at 100% every single day, then why not?
Interesting logic. If it’s not full shall we put innocent people in?
