Communications and Publications

The Communications and Publications Department at ACA produces trusted resources tailored for corrections professionals. We plan, publish and promote a wide range of materials, including authored books, standards and expected practices books, a quarterly flagship magazine, newsletters, social media, electronic media and graphics, all designed to support correctional staff, administrators, trainers and researchers.

We welcome contributions from practitioners, researchers and thought leaders. If you have an article or column for Corrections Today magazine, or a book-length manuscript that shares best practices or research in corrections, we invite you to submit it for possible publication. Your expertise helps strengthen the profession, improve outcomes and advance the mission of corrections.
