The American Correctional Association's process for moving from revaluating what one does (process) to assessing how well one does it (outcomes) through performance-based standards for adult local detention facilities is explained. Steps included: identifying those groups and people who would examine current standards for contemporary relevance; determining "best" practices to incorporate into standards; creating a template based on consensus; changing terminology from standards to expected practices; recognizing the importance of stakeholders; and developing and implementing performance-based standards and outcomes.
