 ABL Management, Inc. recognizes that
corrections is a market requiring a dedicated company
to respond to the unique requirements of your
correctional facilities.
Food Service is a critical function
that can contribute to a smooth operating correctional
facility or can be the cause for disturbances.
As inmate populations constantly
increase, we provide correctional administrators with
a high quality, cost effective program to meet their
daily problems of feeding inmates.
We can also manage and operate the
inmate commissary for your facility. This will relieve
your staff for other duties and, in addition, will
provide funds for your Inmate Welfare Fund, if this is
applicable in your jurisdiction.
Our hiring practices involve a thorough
screening process which is followed by formal
instruction and on-the-job training. We instill
qualities to maintain professional personnel dedicated
to providing high quality service. The qualities ABL
Management, Inc. looks for in hiring staff are
experienced self-starters, who manage proactively, and
who are resourceful, and responsible, with a positive
and friendly attitude.
Our highly qualified, well-trained unit
Managers receive constant supervision and training
appraisals from our District Managers. In addition,
our Corporate Quality Control Specialists, conduct
ongoing, intensive inspection of all phases of service
to assure operational objectives are achieved and
customer satisfaction is maintained.
ABL Management, Inc. will adhere to
your security guidelines, insuring all employees have
your security approval before hiring.
The menus and food service provided by
ABL Management, Inc. meet the requirements and calorie
intake recommendations of the American Correctional
Association, National School Lunch and Breakfast
Program, Food and Nutritional Board of the National
Academy of Science, National Sheriffs' Association,
National Commission for Correctional Health Care, and
also meet all Federal, State and Local guidelines,
laws and regulations.
If your facility receives USDA
Commodities, ABL Management, Inc. will make every
effort to use as many commodities as possible in our
menus, as this would result in substantial savings for
your facility.

Save
Time & Money
With ABL you have a guaranteed cost per
meal on which you can plan your annual budget.
You will not have money tied up in
inventories. All you pay is the cost per meals served.
No need to carry insurance for the
protection of your facility. Another cost saver, plus
protection.
Our ABL written contract still gives
your facility total control with the responsibility on
us.
Your facility will incur savings in
reduced administrative costs. ABL Management will
handle all administrative workloads.

and provides far fewer benefits nationwide compared to
any government agency. Another big cost savings.
