Conducted between November 1982 and June 1983, this audit examined four sets of data in the Illinois Department of Corrections-Correctional Institution Management Information System (IDOC-CIMIS): inmate record jackets, inmate job assignments, inmate release dates, and inmate field services.
Abstract
The audit's objective was to measure the accuracy with which manual data were recorded into the IDOC-CIMIS. A statistically valid sample showed that charge and sentence information was highly accurate, but law enforcement identification numbers were missing from one-third of the records. Job assignment data were highly accurate. The audit revealed problems in updating release dates in CIMIS and manual records. Information problems relating to work release and parole information were discovered by the field services audit.
