Wyatt Receives Excellent Rating 

December 11 - 13, 2012, auditors representing the U.S Department of Justice Office of the Federal Detention Trustee (OFDT) conducted a ”Quality Assurance Review” (QAR) at the Wyatt Detention Facility. The team of seven “subject matter experts” were contracted by the OFDT and tasked with conducting an audit of the facility based on the Federal Performance-Based Detention Standards (FPBDS) for non-federal detention facilities. The standards are designed to ensure the safe, secure, and humane confinement of federal detainees.

The December QAR included a review of policies, procedures, related documentation and operations of the facility during the three day period. Numerous interviews with staff and detainees were conducted as well as tours of the facility on all three shifts. At the conclusion, the auditors found “the level of performance exceeds the requirements with exceptional internal controls” and gave the facility an “Excellent” rating -- the highest rating a facility can receive.

“The facility continues to receive high marks and accolades from correctional industry peers,” said, Steven Harford, Chairman of the Wyatt Detention Facility Board of Directors. “We know we have a top-rate facility and we know the potential is there for long-term economic benefit to the City of Central Falls and to Rhode Island.”
