Book Description
"In Louisiana, legislators and criminal justice stakeholders are working toward prison reform to reduce incarceration costs while maintaining public safety. Successful reform is dependent on having accurate and complete information on Louisiana’s offender population. Therefore, the purpose of this audit was to evaluate the Louisiana Department of Corrections’ (DOC) management of offender data, including its processes for ensuring the accuracy of that data. DOC is the state agency responsible for the custody and care of adult offenders across Louisiana. More than half of Louisiana’s approximately 35,000 inmates are housed in parish facilities and work release centers with the remaining housed in the state’s nine correctional facilities. Because offenders are housed all across the state, it is important for DOC management to have centralized, accurate and up-to-date information on all the offenders under its supervision. DOC currently uses the Criminal and Justice Unified Network (CAJUN) to enter, process, and report on all of its incarceration activities. CAJUN is a legacy mainframe application that was updated in 1991 to replace a version that originated in the 1970s. CAJUN is DOC’s primary mechanism for tracking state offenders and creating billing invoices for the per diems paid to local and state facilities for housing the offenders. We conducted this audit because of data issues identified through recent LLA audits of DOC, including audits conducted during fiscal year 2016 on the oversight of the Trusty Programs and the Transitional Work Program, and an evaluation of strategies to reduce Louisiana’s incarceration rate.1 During these audits, auditors noted data fields missing necessary information as well as inconsistencies in dates, such as full term release dates that were prior to the sentencing date. In addition, a 2012 LLA audit2 of the Division of Probation and Parolefound that parole officers did not make 22% of their required offender contacts each month. One reason for these missed contacts was because DOC did not have an automated process to track offender contacts. In response to this audit, DOC management stated that it was developing a new data system with automated reports that would notify probation and parole officers of missed contacts. In June 2015, DOC launched a new $3.6 million offender management system but ceased using the system the following month because it did not function properly. Consequently, DOC returned to using CAJUN to manage offender data. The objective of this performance audit was: To evaluate the Department of Corrections’ management of offender data. LLA auditors evaluated CAJUN’s IT controls and reviewed a targeted selection of offender files to test the reliability of offender data stored in CAJUN. Overall, we found that CAJUN data is not always accurate, and DOC does not have adequate policies and procedures to manage offender data. As a result, the department does not always know where its offenders are located. In addition, we identified inconsistencies in computing release dates and inaccurate reporting. The issues we identified are described briefly on the next page and discussed in further detail in the remainder of the report. Appendix A contains DOC’s response to this report, and Appendix B details our scope and methodology."--Introduction.
