Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 0420-02-03-.16 - COUNTY'S FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH ACCREDITATION STIPEND REGULATIONS
(1) If a county fails to maintain eligibility
and compliance warranting the Accreditation Stipend, then the Department may
withhold Accreditation Stipend payments to the county or adjust the amount of
such payments, as appropriate.
(2)
In the case of material noncompliance or ineligibility the Department may
require the county to repay any Accreditation Stipend payments made to the
county during the period of material noncompliance or ineligibility.
(3) After a county has received the
Accreditation Stipend for three (3) years, the Department will annually review
the recidivism rate as defined in the Chapter 1400-05 Voluntary Accreditation
Standards for Local Correctional Facilities to ensure that the recidivism rate
is lower than that of the offenders who did not participate in evidence-based
programming for which the local correctional facility was accredited. The
Department may require a county to develop a corrective action plan if the
programming in the county did not reduce the recidivism rate by a satisfactory
percentage.
