CARTER COUNTY, Tenn. (WJHL) — The Carter County Detention Center was awarded a Tier 1 Accreditation status by the Tennessee Corrections Institute (TCI) on Wednesday.

Tree trunk plows into Carter County home 'Our staff has worked diligently to meet the required standards to achieve accreditation, and I am thrilled to see their hard work rewarded,' Jail Administrator Captain Matt Patterson said in the release. TCI evaluates accreditation based on employee training, agency policies, availability of programs to reduce inmate recidivism, available medical services for inmates and the jail's physical facility, the news release stated. 'Captain Patterson and his staff worked tirelessly to meet these standards and achieve Tier 1 Accreditation by the TCI for the first time in the department's history,' Carter County Sheriff Mike Fraley said in the release.
