FROM:

SUBJECT:

Recent Reaccredidation Review of the San Diego
Contract Detention Facility

Congratulations on the recent review by the American Correctional Association (ACA) of the
San Diego Contract Detention Facility (CDF).
During the review, it was noted that the sanitation was Outstanding, the relationship between
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Corrections Corporation of America (CCA)
was excellent, and overall the ACA reviewers were extremely impressed. The recommended
score achieved was 100% on all Mandatory Standards and 97.2% on all Non-Mandatory
Standards.
It is apparent that you work closely with ICE and CCA employees to ensure and enforce a
healthy and humane living environment for detainees and working conditions for employees.
Congratulations on a job well done. Good luck with continued success as you prepare for your
upcoming Commission hearing in January 2008.
