INSLAW's
CJIS for Corrections software product is a comprehensive inmate
management information system that supports the operations of state
and local detention and correctional facilities. As an integrated
inmate information system, CJIS for Corrections is a powerful tool
that assists correctional administrators in managing their inmate
populations, controlling overcrowding, and reducing risks within
the facility. Designed to track an inmate from booking to release,
the system provides a full audit trail of all in-custody activity,
including detention/commitment order and charge tracking, classification
and housing assignment, receipt and release of property, medical
records, inmate accounts, commissary purchases and inventory, program
participation, and incident tracking.
CJIS
for Corrections Components:
Person
Identification
A unique person I.D. number is assigned to each person and is linked
to a complete file of information for that person. This includes
physical descriptors, aliases, prior arrests and/or convictions,
known associates, addresses, warrants, cautions, etc. The system
automatically summarizes the activity for the person across his
or her active and disposed cases, including active warrants.
Intake
and Booking Management
This CJIS component records information about each booking, identifying
the person taken into custody, the date and time of booking, inmate
type (federal, state, etc.), and whether the inmate is an adult
or juvenile. Because a permanent I.D. number is used, information
regarding a person does not need to be re-entered for each booking.
Additionally, an Inmate Locator record tracks a person's entry into
and exit from a facility. Movements within the facility for activities
such as recreation, sick call, law library, etc., can be tracked
as well.
Classification
and Housing Assignment
Due to differences in classification and housing assignment criteria
from one facility to another, INSLAW designed this component to
be tailorable to each facility's unique requirements. The criteria
are stored in tables for easy maintenance. Strict database controls
are maintained between the inmate's classification level and the
security level of the housing assignment. A warning message is returned
if the housing assignment is not appropriate for the inmate's classification.
The user can override the warning but must record the reason for
doing so.

Medical
Management
CJIS for Corrections includes a Medical Profile subsystem that helps
medical staff manage the medical needs of inmates. The system tracks
a whole range of medical information about an inmate from initial
screening to subsequent physicals; progress notes by medical discipline;
medical screening for program assignments; entry and retrieval of
medication orders; requested and scheduled sick call visits; as
well as dietary restrictions for commissary order control.
Sentence
Time
Sentence time and scheduled release date are calculated for all
persons. Additional entries regarding credits for good behavior,
and time served automatically result in recalculation of the scheduled
release date.
Inmate
Accounting and Commissary Management
An account can be established for each inmate to track credits and
withdrawals and commissary purchases. An account record maintains
summary information indicating the inmate's cash and award (credit
voucher) balances. Summary information is automatically updated
as withdrawals, deposits, and commissary transactions are entered.
The system also tracks quan-tity on hand in the commissary inventory.
