THE BERNALILLO COUNTY METRO DETENTION CENTER WINS 100 PERCENT ACCREDITATION FROM THE AMERICAN CORRECTIONAL ASSOCIATION . IT GAVE THE MDC 100 PERCENT FOR ITS COMPLIANCE WITH 59 MANDATORY AND 308 NON-MANDATORY STANDARDS FOR CORRECTIONAL FACILITIES. THAT’S THE HIGHEST SCORE EVER FOR THE MDC.
IF THE JAIL HERE HAD BEEN FOUND TO NOT BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE 59 MANDATORY STANDARDS, IT WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN A FAILING SCORE. THE AUDIT WAS CONDUCTED LAST WEEK.
