SAS Analyzes Inmate Data Alongside Fiscal and HR Data 2006-12-27 01:00:56 SAS Institute

Hoping to increase system efficiencies and improve prisoner success rates, many state and county corrections systems provide education, life and work skills, and alcohol and drug treatment programs.

Are cognitive programs decreasing inmate-on-staff assaults? Are department operations fiscally sound? Is recidivism dropping? The Oregon Department Of Corrections (ODOC) Research and Evaluation unit can assist in answering these and other questions with a new system that uses SAS for data warehousing and analysis.
