Organized criminal groups frequently oversee illicit activities from within Mexico's penitentiary system, often affecting the public through the trafficking of drugs, weapons, and illicit goods, as well as extortion calls to U.S. citizens. Accreditation of prisons helps establish and improve procedures and processes by requiring the implementation of strict controls over the security of correctional facilities. This helps the Government of Mexico (GOM) establish more control within the prisons and curb activity by organized crime.

One of the Mexican Penitentiary System's challenges is to ensure that there is significant control of correctional environments that are free from corruption, providing a safe and secure environment. To fulfill this mission, Mexico needs to correct physical conditions, develop personnel who can do their jobs effectively, apply and standardize appropriate procedures, implement treatment programs, evaluate progress, and generate feedback mechanisms for prison operations.

The overall objective of this effort is to enhance prison conditions by achieving compliance with the International Core Standards developed by American Correctional Association (ACA) through the audit and accredidation process performed by a qualified contractor.
