Designed with Your Compliance Standards in Mind

Benchmark’s solutions are built for the realities of managing personnel in corrections. From prisons and jails to juvenile detention centers and other facilities, Benchmark helps corrections agencies build a strong, supportive work environment, within the compliance standards of the Commission on Accreditation for Corrections (CAC) of the American Correctional Association (ACA).

Our solutions integrate with your existing processes and systems to uphold the ACA’s current policies and procedures.

Insights Backed by Research and Powered by Data

Benchmark is leading the way in research-based corrections administration. The University of Chicago, the lead member of our research consortium, has developed predictive models that identify patterns associated with elevated risk in corrections settings, so leaders can act early.

Benchmark is also supported by The Joyce Foundation, a valuable partner who works with our consortium to accelerate research and best practices in early intervention across the corrections field.

Together, these partnerships are the foundation for more proactive personnel management and targeted support, helping advance corrections careers and agency performance.

Personnel management software for corrections gives jails and corrections departments a single system to manage officer records, performance, wellness, and conduct. Benchmark brings the same research-based approach used in policing to the corrections environment.

Benchmark helps corrections agencies centralize personnel data, identify officers who may need support early, and manage conduct and certification consistently, supporting officer wellness, accountability, and operational readiness across the facility.

Many core challenges, including officer stress, retention, conduct, and accountability, are shared, but corrections settings have their own pressures. Benchmark applies the same predictive, outcomes-based approach while reflecting the realities of the corrections environment.

Benchmark supports corrections personnel management across jail and corrections settings, giving departments a consistent system of record for managing and supporting their officers.
