Wyatt Facility receives near-perfect audit score

CENTRAL FALLS – The Donald W. Wyatt Detention Facility was awarded its fourth three-year accreditation and a nearly perfect score of 99.7 percent in its latest audit by the American Correctional Association (ACA) Commission on Accreditation.
Only 1,500 U.S. correctional facilities – 17.6 percent of the roughly 8,500 facilities nationwide – are fully accredited, noted the Central Falls Detention Facility Corp., which owns and operates Wyatt. The Central Falls facility has maintained continuous accreditation since 1995, when it applied for its first ACA rating. It is the first and only ACA-accredited facility in Rhode Island.
“This is a real tribute to Warden Wayne Salisbury and his entire staff for their hard work, extra effort every day … and speaks volumes on their commitment to excellence and professionalism,” Anthony Ventetuolo Jr., executive director of the CFDF Corp., said last week of the center’s score. “It’s even more extraordinary given the incredible changes the staff and facility have undergone in the last two years.” &#8226
