Is it the Prison Commander? Who is responsible for one prison? 2. The Military? Who are responsible for multiple prisons? 3. Or Hibernating Rhinos? Purveyor of fine off the shelf incarceration tracking solutions. From the previous posts it sounds like either 1 or 3. In this case, might not really be important, but it does impact how you would think about the solution and how you would drive out the non-obvious functional needs.http://ayende.com/49153/macto-and-it-goes-on-your-permanent-record-too#comment5http://ayende.com/49153/macto-and-it-goes-on-your-permanent-record-too#comment5Thu, 28 Jul 2011 11:17:09 GMTThose are pretty much just a bunch of text and maybe some pics. Right now we are talking about hand written reports. http://ayende.com/49153/macto-and-it-goes-on-your-permanent-record-too#comment4http://ayende.com/49153/macto-and-it-goes-on-your-permanent-record-too#comment4Tue, 12 Jul 2011 05:16:22 GMTDo you have more info about: Guards’ reports Intelligence gathered Disciplinary actions What sort of information do we need to store about each? Are these pretty much standard who, when, what and where? I assume they are stored in the record.http://ayende.com/49153/macto-and-it-goes-on-your-permanent-record-too#comment3http://ayende.com/49153/macto-and-it-goes-on-your-permanent-record-too#comment3Mon, 11 Jul 2011 22:22:36 GMTPaul, You can't really share that information with other prison. Or, to be rather more exact, you are already sharing this, by passing them the paper Dossier. There are many organizations that run a prison, Military, Police, Prison Service, Border Control, etc. Hell, in the military alone there are usually at least two different types of prisons, with totally different systems. You can't share the Dossier between everyone because they are completely different systems, requirements, change times, etc.http://ayende.com/49153/macto-and-it-goes-on-your-permanent-record-too#comment2http://ayende.com/49153/macto-and-it-goes-on-your-permanent-record-too#comment2Mon, 04 Jul 2011 10:36:05 GMTHow do you determine when one combined system becomes two that share information? For instance, the legal system seems to have 2 requirements. 1) Do we have legal authority to incarcerate an inmate? 2) Are all incarcerated inmates accounted for? We can do this system dealing only with the inmate's current dossier and we do not really care how many other dossiers refer to this inmate. This system does not need to be cross-prison because we do not care (at least operationally), how a previous prison handled this for a previous incarceration. However for at least parts of the inmate's record, it seems important to share this information between prisons/government/military and that the record does correlate with a specific individual. http://ayende.com/49153/macto-and-it-goes-on-your-permanent-record-too#comment1http://ayende.com/49153/macto-and-it-goes-on-your-permanent-record-too#comment1Mon, 04 Jul 2011 10:25:48 GMT
