TPFW Achieves ACA Reaccreditation

NASHVILLE - The Tennessee Department of Correction (TDOC) is pleased to announce that one of the department’s Middle Tennessee facilities has earned reaccreditation by the American Correctional Association (ACA).  During the audit, which was held in the fall, Tennessee Prison for Women (TPFW) received a high score of 100% on the mandatory standards and 99.5% on the non-mandatory standards.

According to Warden Gloria Gross (pictured right) this audit was even more special since it was the first audit since the addition of a Women’s Transition Center.  She goes on to add, “The high marks are all due to the hard work of the TPFW officers and staff. They work tirelessly to enhance public safety while making a positive difference every day.”  TDOC Commissioner Tony Parker adds, “The vision of this department is to be recognized as the best correctional agency in the nation.  Achieving ACA reaccreditation speaks to the professionalism of the team at TPFW.”
