	ACA Standards
		ACA is by constitution lead by a broad spectrum of experts and practitioners "in the field" – elected to the positions that in turn maintain and fine-tune the standards for the "Correctional Profession" itself.
		Corrections leadership also must ensure that employees are treated with rigorous standards of fairness and justice; and that victims, witnesses, and all other citizens who come in contact with the criminal justice system receive fair, consistent, and concerned consideration and assistance, including restitution and/or compensation whenever appropriate.
		Corrections has a special responsibility to protect from harm those who are involuntarily under its care and control; therefore, contemporary standards for healthcare, offender classification, due process, fire and building safety, nutrition, personal well-being, and clothing and shelter must be observed.

		In either case, status offenders must be separated by sight and sound from delinquent offenders; facility staff should demonstrate attempts to develop opportunities for status offenders in the least restrictive environment possible to include alternatives outside a secure setting; and special programs must be developed for status offenders.

		Each correctional chaplain is also a representative of his or her faith community and is required to be endorsed by their denominational body in order to qualify as a chaplain.
		Another difficulty in having qualified correctional chaplains is that many states are experiencing serious budget deficients and have been eliminating or cutting back on their chaplains or replacing them with volunteers.
		If a correctional chaplain observes or witnesses anything in a worship service or a religious study that in anyway appears to be a threat to the institution, he or she is obligated to report it.
