Jail Management Software (JMS) Features
The main jail display shows the current inmate list, as well as key at-a-glance information such as alerts and upcoming releases.
Booking and release wizards guide staff through the booking and release processes, ensuring that all required steps are completed. Administrators can manage hold and release reason options and specify which forms must be completed.
Automatic sentence calculation saves time and ensures accuracy, with many configurable options such as good time and other reductions.
Cell recommendation is based on a custom inmate classification form as well as factors such as cell capacity and gender.
The intake feature provides a way to perform visual medical screenings, quickly process large groups of inmates, or handle individuals unable to undergo the complete booking process.
