Founded in 1870, the American Correctional Association (ACA)
is a professional membership association dedicated to the improvement of corrections
and the training and development of corrections professionals. With more than
20,000 members, ACA’s membership consists of individuals and organizations
involved in all facets of corrections – including adult and juvenile institutions,
community corrections, juvenile justice, institutions of higher learning, and
probation and parole located in the United States, Canada, and other nations,
as well as 69 chapters and affiliates representing states and professional organizations.
The mission of the Association is to exert a positive influence on national
correctional policy and to promote the professional development of individuals
working in all aspects of the corrections field. Our primary purpose is to be
of service to both the field and its members.
The Association provides its members with educational materials, publications,
training, seminars, bi-annual conferences, accreditation services, and a variety
of other networking opportunities – not to mention Corrections Today magazine,
discount programs, and insurance benefits.
