Case Study: Northampton County Department of Corrections achieves enhanced safety and streamlined policy management with Lexipol

Northampton County Department of Corrections Policies That Enhance Safety and Efficiency

The Northampton County Department of Corrections faced a labor-intensive, time-consuming policy environment: internally updating and reconciling a long-evolving set of sometimes contradictory policies while ensuring compliance with federal, state and local laws and maintaining safety for staff, inmates and the public. To address this, Northampton County Department of Corrections subscribed to Lexipol’s Pennsylvania Corrections Policies and Training solution.

Lexipol delivered more than 155 Pennsylvania-specific corrections policies, automated updates, and training bulletins with comprehension questions, backed by expert legal and public safety staff. As a result, Lexipol helped standardize policies, free administrators to focus on day-to-day operations, improve safety and efficiency, and better align the 700‑bed facility with ACA accreditation requirements—supporting a measurable shift toward consistent, treatment- and reentry-focused practices.
