Sheriff Joseph W. Oxley has announced that the Monmouth County Correctional Institution has earned reaccreditation from the National Commission on Correctional Health Care. After completing a comprehensive review of policies and procedures for the correctional health care facility, the NCCHC awarded a perfect score for compliance with all applicable standards.
