Established by the health, legal and corrections professions, NCCHC's Standards present recommendations for the management of a correctional health services system. Written in separate volumes for prisons, jails and juvenile confinement facilities, plus a manual for mental health services and another for opioid treatment programs, the Standards cover the areas of care and treatment, health records, administration, personnel and medical-legal issues. These essential resources have helped correctional and detention facilities improve the health of their inmates and the communities to which they return, increase the efficiency of health services delivery, strengthen organizational effectiveness and reduce the risk of adverse legal judgments. Building on that foundation, NCCHC offers a broad array of services and resources to help correctional health care systems provide efficient, high-quality care. ![]() NATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR JAIL OPERATIONS - PROACTIVE JAIL DEFENSE
