ANNOTATION: A national baseline describing the status of state departments of corrections offender MIS systems, in particular, their use in classification, was established. MIS systems are used to make appropriate decisions about individual offenders by utilizing data on length of stay, custody and security levels, housing, and discipline. Another function of MIS systems is their ability to combine information on individuals in order to generate reports on trends, budgets, program evaluations, scheduling, and projected release dates that can facilitate facility-and/or agency-wide planning. Response tabulations include criminal history data, assessment information, management reports generated, and data elements included in MIS systems.
