JPASonline™ – Business Intelligence for Jail and Court Management

Jails are the most visible and active components of the criminal justice system, processing approximately 15 million arrestees per year.  Many jail facilities face a serious issue in which inmate population exceeds the rated capacity on a regular, long-term basis. This results in overcrowding emergencies, significantly increased costs and potential public safety issues.

In an overloaded system Jail administrators struggle to manage the growing number of offender populations held in jail without adequate resources and court administrators must manage the large flow of offenders as they process through the judicial system.
