For the third time since Flagler Sheriff Rick Staly took office in 2017, Flagler County’s Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility was received reaccreditation by the Florida Corrections Accreditation Commission.
The county jail is one of only 37 jails in Florida to this accreditation, a Flagler Sheriff’s Office Press release said. The facility first became an accredited correction facility in 2018, then achieved reaccreditation in 2021.
Accredited facilities are required to be assessed and reaccredited every three years to ensure they maintain the requirements of accreditation, the press release said.
During the accreditation process, all aspects of correctional operations are addressed including admission, classification, housing, sanitation, food service, personnel issues, fiscal activities, security, training, and medical. This process allows correctional facilities to remedy deficiencies and upgrade the quality of their correctional programs and services.
The Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility was found 100% compliant with the Florida Corrections Accreditation Commission’s 260 mandatory and optional standards, exceeding the minimum standards needed for accreditation, the press release said.
The county jail is also accredited by the National Commission on Correctional Health Care and received the American Jail Association’s Innovation Award for medium-sized facilities in 2023, the press release said.
