I > New computer system adds utility to inmate management needs

Managing information in an agency with 21,000 inmates and 12,600 parolees across the state demands the help of computers. The department's CIMIS information management system has been straining its memory banks to meet this need. Now, the next generation of computerized information system is coming on-line with improvements, and a friendlier format.

OTS will just give our people additional accurate information to help them make those common-sense de- cisions," said Becker. The long-range plan for the system calls for five more functions to be added to OTS. It is uncertain just how quickly the improvements will be added due to the department's severe budget shortage. One addition to OTS that will be added during the fiscal year involves juvenile division records. The tracking system for all I, 100 to 1,200 juveniles will enable the same accessibility to information as the adult OTS system. This infonnation will help both line staff and management get a better picture of what's going on with both individuals and grQups of inmates.

Governor James R. Thompson has announced a multi-agency research effort aimed at advancing two areas of agricultural research. The ethanol fuel plant operated by Correctional Industries at the Vienna Correctional Center will provide the focus for the research. The project will help develop a process that turns byproducts of the ethanol fuel plant at the prison into livestock feed. The second aspect will be a study on the treatment of hay products infected with a toxic fungus. "Not only will we be able to assist with Byproducts llsed important research, but we also will be giving prison inmates agricultural job These fermelltatioll tallks at the etha/lol plant hold the COl'll mix that generates iilel training and will providc feed for prison alcohol and byprodllcts that willllndeJ~I?() feed testing in the research project. livestock," said Thompson.
