down time!

Donate your NEW or USED DVD Movies. It doesn’t matter if it’s a Comedy, Drama, TV Series, or Romance as long as the DVD is in working condition and not rated over the R-Rating.

Choose a movie from your DVD collection that will inspire them, bring them hope, make them laugh, or just entertain them.  The American Correctional Officer will collect your DVDs and ship them to areas of the World where our Troops are stationed.

WASHINGTON, DC : Yesterday afternoon Congressman Dennis Cardoza introduced HR 6462, the "Jose Rivera Correctional Officer Protection Act" to provide all federal correctional officers with stab-proof vests. The bill authorizes $20 million for the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) to purchase the vests and mandates that officers wear them while on duty. >>Continue<<

ACO On the Attack

            ACO’s efforts and those of several other leading corrections unions and associations across the nation have spurred the private prison industry into action. The article below shows how much of an impact the legislation we are supporting is having. One piece of legislation, the Private Prison Information Act, was originally drafted by ACO/ACOIN Executive Director Brian Dawe and former ACO President Richard Loud.

            When you support ACO/ACOIN you are supporting your profession from coast to coast. How do you fight an organization that has so much money to spend? We fight it with the truth. But in order to combat them we need your support now more than ever. It costs a lot of money to run ads, do the research and travel across the nation to confront these corporations. We have recently been involved in defeating private prison initiatives in Doan Springs, Arizona and in Savinaw, Oklahoma. We can’t do it without your support, join us today!
