Branton Lewis with a CEA certificate acknowledging the achievement, which was
attained by the facility’s Education Department.
“Receiving the CEA accreditation brings great joy and
appreciation for our Education Department and our facility,” said Lewis. “It
reassures me that we are providing positive and productive education here at
WCCF.”

For CEA, compliance is important in meeting the
educational needs of those incarcerated, according to Lewis. The association’s
standards are high and rigorous, he noted. When a facility passes all of the
standards of CEA, it receives an automatic pass for the education portion of
the ACA audit.
WCCF is privately managed by MTC or Management &
Training Corporation of Utah. The facility houses 950 male offenders.
