Introducing Affordable, Court-Tested Classification Management for Smaller Jails and Jails with Limited Resources

Small jails, typically housing 150 beds or less—and jails with smaller budgets—face unique challenges in managing inmate populations effectively. With limited funds and resources, these facilities often struggle to implement robust classification systems that ensure safety, streamline operations, and comply with legal standards. Recognizing this need, we are excited to introduce a new service offering that includes the functionality these facilities need at a price they can afford.

 

The Right Tools, in a Scaled Down Version

Our Decision Tree Automation solution is built on a foundation of validated, court-tested processes, ensuring that your facility is equipped with the same level of rigor and reliability found in larger, more expensive systems. However, we’ve trimmed down the offering to include only the essential functions you need.

  • Decision Tree: Our Northpointe Decision Tree instrument guides your staff through the classification process by answering just a few Yes/No questions for fast and accurate classification. The system helps staff determine the appropriate housing and supervision levels for each inmate based on established criteria. This ensures consistency in decision-making, reducing the risk of errors and enhancing overall safety.
  • Reclassification: A daily dashboard shows the inmates due for reclassification. No calendars or paper tracking necessary–your staff can reclassify inmates on-the-spot, eliminating administrative burdens and reclassification delays.  
  • Reporting: With a variety of robust reports, you can easily pull a breakdown of inmates by classification level, the amount of overrides, the number of classifications accomplished in a set time period, reclassification data, and more. Paperless record keeping saves your staff time and keeps you facility compliant.

Decision Tree Automation customers also have the opportunity to add on incidents and alternative screenings functionalities. 

 

Safety and Efficiency at a Price You Can Afford

The heart of this new solution lies in its accessibility. We understand the budgetary constraints jails operate under, and we believe that a lack of funds should never compromise safety or efficiency. That’s why we’ve developed this solution at a price point specifically tailored to smaller facilities and facilities with smaller budgets.

Our offering provides the foundation of comprehensive classification management, allowing your jail to stay compliant, maintain safety, and operate more efficiently—all with a smaller  investment than is typically required for such systems.

 

Why Choose Our Decision Tree Automation Solution?

  • Enhanced Compliance: Our system is based on methodologies and processes that have been  tested in court, providing peace of mind that your classification management meets legal and industry standards.
  • Focus on Essentials: By offering only the functionality you need, we ensure that your staff isn’t overwhelmed, allowing them to focus on what matters most—keeping your facility secure.
  • Affordability: Designed for facilities with smaller budgets, our solution delivers high-quality, essential classification management with a limited financial commitment. In fact, in most cases, this solution can be implemented for less than $25,000 for the initial year. 
  • Time-Savings: Streamlined processes and easy-to-use interfaces mean your staff can perform their duties more efficiently, saving time that can be better spent elsewhere in your facility.
