Department Operations Manual

47130.4 System Overview of DDPS DDPS is a system comprised of one or more minicomputers operating in each facility and connected to minicomputers in headquarters by a wide area communications network. Four major applications reside currently on the DDPS. In addition to the requirements of this section, use of each application shall meet general operating specifications regarding policy, purpose, responsibility, QA, and QC. The four DDPS applications are: Inmate Roster System The Inmate Roster System is the basis for DDPS and is, therefore, critical for the maintenance of all other DDPS applications. The roster is designed for use by control room staff and provides an automated means for tracking inmate location. This application allows any authorized user to request reports or make inquiries regarding any inmate or housing unit in the facility. Inmate Roster Record An Inmate Roster Record is created the first time an inmate is admitted. At that time, control room staff enter the inmate ’ s full name, date of birth, ethnicity, arrival date, and location from which the inmate arrived. Once the inmate is admitted, the user must enter only the inmate ’ s CDC number and the first five characters of the last name to enter a movement transaction. Reports on inmate movement may be generated within this application. The Automated Daily Movement Sheet is designed to assist control room staff in their use of the CDC Form 117, Daily Movement Sheet. In addition to the inmate roster, this application maintains a roster of the housing structure and beds at each facility. Control room staff may use this information to readily identify vacant beds, the identity of the inmate in each bed, and beds that are being held for inmates on temporary leave from the facility (e.g., out to court for the day, in a local hospital). Bed vacancy and empty bed reports may be produced in this application to assist control room staff with the running count process. Although the inmate roster was designed to serve the needs of control room staff, it has proven to be highly beneficial to other functional areas of the facility. Mailrooms have replaced their card systems with query terminals, and many visitor control areas use either terminals or housing reports to locate inmates within the facility. The inmate assignment office uses the information to make appropriate job assignments. Facility staff can request the preparation of special reports by their AISA using “ INFORM ” or by ISD using ad hoc reporting capabilities. Responsibility The Control Room Sergeant is responsible for data integrity and security of this application. Time Collection System The Time Collection System automates the data entry portion of updating the OBIS work time credit database. The CDC Form 191, Inmate Timecard, is scanned using a Sentry 4000 Optical Scanner. The scanned timecard information is sent to a file on the DDPS at each facility; the file is transferred nightly to Teale Data Center; data is validated; and the OBIS database is updated. Responsibility The CCRM is responsible for data integrity and security. Inmate Classification System The Inmate Classification System tracks the results of inmate classification hearings and contains certain descriptors critical to other functional areas of the facility. The privilege group determines an inmate's eligibility for canteen draw, visiting, and other inmate activities. Additionally, the inmate classification system tracks hearing dates and provides a “ tickler ” to notify counselors of upcoming hearing responsibilities. Inmate Classification System information is entered after the initial inmate record is created. It is imperative to enter data during or immediately following hearings so that staff have up-to-the-minute information about a inmate's custody level and classification score, thus assisting subsequent program decisions. Responsibility The CC-II/III is responsible for data integrity and security. Inmate Assignment System The Inmate Assignment Application tracks inmate job assignments and inmate job waiting lists. It contains descriptive information about each job, including pay grade, dictionary of occupational titles code, Inmate Work Training Incentive Program code, assignment beginning date, job status, work location, site phone number, work schedule including regular days off, the name of the inmate holding the job if assigned, and any restrictions or special job requirements. When assigning an inmate to a job or a waiting list, this application uses the Inmate Roster Record (including classification information) to draw custody level and suffix, work group, ethnicity, administrative determinants, work qualifiers, and housing data. Information entered by the assignment lieutenant updates the inmate roster clearance regarding food handling, gate clearance, and other clearances. The Inmate Assignment System maintains a inmate's current work and waiting list status. Job history records provide information (including dates) about all previous jobs held by an inmate in that facility. Location records provide ethnicity counts to assist in maintaining an ethnic balance. Transportation records contain assignment information used for the daily movement sheet. Responsibility The Inmate Assignment Lieutenant is responsible for data integrity and security. Inmate Trust Accounting System PC 2085 and 5057 require that the Department establish, as necessary, an accounting and auditing system to accurately account for all inmate money and property. The Inmate Trust Accounting System is designed to: • Replace outdated bookkeeping machines. • Automate the bookkeeping functions in the facility ’ s trust office. • Account for all inmate monies held in trust by the Department. Each facility uses the inmate trust account system to perform trust accounting functions. This application uses information provided by the Inmate Roster System to identify inmates who have just arrived, transferred out, transferred in, or have been paroled or discharged. For each new arrival, the Inmate Trust Accounting System establishes a trust account in which monies shall be held and deposits and withdrawals posted. An inmate ’ s record is updated when the inmate leaves the facility to reflect the new location so that account information and funds can be transferred. The Inmate Trust Accounting System produces monthly statements of account, a general ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable, a daily balance sheet, audit reports, and preprinted canteen cards. Responsibility The Trust Officer is responsible for data integrity and security. 47130.5

48010.10.2 Ownership of Resources The CDC has determined that all workgroup computing technologies are the property of CDC, and that the use of these technologies, including the content of data files and electronic mail messages, is not considered private to the user. It is CDC’s requirement, based on the confidentiality and sensitivity of its business, to control access to and monitor that use of State-provided workgroup computing resources, including e-mail systems. The CDC will inform workgroup computing users regarding computer privacy in the following manner: • As part of the workgroup computing request process by the CDC Form 1857. • As part of the new employee orientation process. This notification will be given in writing and the user must sign the notification form as part of the new employee orientation process or as part of the workgroup computing request process. It is CDC’s policy that this form be made part of the employee’s official personnel file. 48010.10.3

49020.9.5 Confidentiality Agreements Requirements for confidentiality or non-disclosure agreements reflecting the CDCR’s needs for the protection of information should be identified and regularly reviewed. Confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements protect organizational information and inform signatories of their responsibility to protect, use, and disclose information in a responsible and authorized manner. Confidentiality or non-disclosure agreements should address the requirement to protect confidential information using legally enforceable terms. To identify requirements for confidentiality or non-disclosure agreements, the following elements should be considered: • A definition of the information to be protected (e.g., confidential information); • Expected duration of an agreement, including cases where confidentiality might need to be maintained indefinitely; • Required actions when an agreement is terminated; • Responsibilities and actions of signatories to avoid unauthorized information disclosure (such as “need to know”); • Ownership of information, trade secrets and intellectual property, and how this relates to the protection of confidential information; • The permitted use of confidential information, and rights of the signatory to use information; • The right to audit and monitor activities that involve confidential information; • Process for notification and reporting of unauthorized disclosure or confidential information breaches; • Terms for information to be returned or destroyed at agreement cessation; and • Expected actions to be taken in case of a breach of this agreement. Based on the CDCR’s security requirements, other elements may be needed in a confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement. Confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements should comply with all applicable laws and regulations for the jurisdiction to which it applies. Requirements for confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements should be previewed periodically and when changes occur that influence these requirements. 49020.9.6
