Accreditation & Compliance Management, Built for Corrections
Badge 6 helps correctional agencies and accreditation managers track standards, manage policies, and stay survey-ready — across jails, prisons, juvenile facilities, and multi-facility networks.
Built for the Realities of Corrections Compliance
Correctional accreditation isn’t one-size-fits-all. A county jail, a state prison system, and a juvenile detention network all face different standards, different survey cycles, and different documentation requirements — often from more than one accrediting body at the same time.
Badge 6 was built by people who understand that complexity. Our platform gives accreditation managers a single, organized place to track standards compliance, manage policy documentation, and prepare for audits — whether you’re overseeing one facility or an entire agency network.
Who Badge 6 Serves
Badge 6 supports compliance and accreditation management across the full range of correctional environments, including:
Whatever your facility type, Badge 6 adapts to how your organization is structured — from a single accreditation manager overseeing one site to a network coordinating standards across dozens of facilities.
County & Municipal Jails
Managing day-to-day compliance across booking, housing, and release operations
State & Federal Prisons
Coordinating standards compliance across large, complex facility operations
Juvenile Detention & Correctional Facilities
Meeting the specialized standards that apply to youth confinement settings
Individual Facilities
Single-site operations managing their own accreditation and policy documentation
Multi-Facility Agencies & Networks
Departments of Correction and larger systems overseeing accreditation consistency across multiple sites
Detention Facilities
Including contracted and specialized detention operations with distinct compliance obligations
Accreditation Programs Badge 6 Supports
Badge 6 is designed to help you manage compliance against the standards frameworks correctional agencies are held to, including:
NCCHC — National Commission on Correctional Health Care
NCCHC accreditation addresses the delivery of medical and mental health care in correctional settings. NCCHC maintains standards specific to jails, prisons, juvenile facilities, mental health services, and opioid treatment programs — each with its own detailed compliance indicators and periodic updates. Badge 6 helps you track standards, document evidence, and stay ready as NCCHC’s standards evolve.
ACA — American Correctional Association
ACA administers the leading national accreditation program covering the full range of adult and juvenile correctional operations — not just healthcare, but security, operations, administration, and facility management. Badge 6 helps accreditation managers organize the breadth of ACA’s standards across departments and functions.
PREA — Prison Rape Elimination Act
PREA compliance is a federal requirement enforced through mandatory audits (typically on a three-year cycle) conducted by certified DOJ-approved auditors. Badge 6 helps facilities maintain ongoing PREA-related policy documentation and standards evidence between audit cycles, rather than scrambling to assemble it beforehand.
Other Standards & Frameworks
Corrections agencies frequently manage compliance obligations beyond a single accrediting body — including state-specific DOC standards, agency-specific policy manuals, and other specialized program requirements. Badge 6 is built to flex to the standards your agency is actually held to, not just a fixed list.
(Note: accreditation requirements and standards editions are set and maintained by each accrediting body. Badge 6 supports your organization’s compliance management process — it is not affiliated with or endorsed by NCCHC, ACA, or PREA.)

05
Scale across facilities — from a single site to a full agency network — with reporting rolled up at both the standard and manual level
