SENTENCE MANAGEMENTS GOALS and OBJECTIVES for 2016:

2016 brought about some changes for Sentence Management. 2017 will bring even more
changes with some personnel changes and workload distribution. Several areas have
moved forward, but there are several areas that still need work. Cross training will begin
so everyone will have at least one back up in their position.
2016 saw new assignments added to Sentence Management. Along with streamlining the
Video Visitation process and add the Video Classification process to the list of function
for this department. Video Classification has made the Classification process much easier
and safer for the employees. Changes have been made in personnel performing
Classifications and improved the flow of paperwork.
In 2017 Sentence Management will continue to work with the courts on case resolutions.
There have been changes made to the personnel handling the municipalities providing
better communication with the courts and each other in order to accomplish set goals.

ACCREDITATION COMPLIANCE
Cpl. Tracey Case, CJM, CCM, CCHP

The Hamilton County Jails Accreditation and Compliance Division was created to pursue the
accreditation process established by the American Correctional Association (ACA) and the
National Commission on Correctional Health Care (NCCHC) along with maintaining the jails
compliance and certification with Tennessee Corrections Institute (TCI) standards and
departmental policies and procedures. Achieving accreditation through the Commission of
Accredited Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA), the American Correctional Association

5
(ACA), and the National Commission on Correctional Health Care (NCCHC) will award the
department the prestigious title of being a Triple Crown agency.

American Correctional Association (ACA) accreditation requires compliance with hundreds of

professional standards and continuous review of departmental policy and
procedures. Accreditation is awarded to the best of the best in the
corrections field. Staff has a better understanding of policies and
procedures which contributes to a safer facility and improved working
conditions. Accredited agencies have a stronger defense against litigation through documentation
and the demonstration of a good faith effort to improve offender supervision.

The National Commission on Correctional Health Care (NCCHC) grew from of a program
created at the American Medical Association in the 1970s and is dedicated to improving the
quality of correctional health services and helping correctional facilities provide
effective and efficient care. NCCHC accreditation provides an independent,
professional assessment of compliance with 67 health care related standards. It
has proven to be an effective tool in achieving and maintaining peak
organizational performance.

Since the creation of the jails Accreditation and Compliance Division, we have reviewed and
approved 178 corrections division policies and required them to be read by all departmental staff.
A total of 188 Safety Data Sheets (SDS) have been transferred into electronic documents and
placed into the departments Policy Tech computer system to be readily available to all
employees. The jails inmate handbook is revised annually and placed into circulation within the
inmate population and is also available in an electronic format through Policy Tech. English and
Spanish versions are maintained and available to inmates housed inside the facility.

The Accreditation and Compliance Division is currently working to build all ACA standard files
to be audited by a team of ACA auditors for our upcoming accreditation audit scheduled in June
2017, and all NCCHC standard files to be audited by a team of medical professionals chosen by
the NCCHC accreditation specialists in early 2018. Maintaining compliance with ACA, NCCHC,
and TCI standards also requires continuous review of all jail policies and post orders, and all
Corrections personnel adhering to best practices.
