Carrefour Belgium's IT Subsidiary Uses SAS to Support 'Management by Objectives' 2006-12-27 01:00:56 SAS Institute

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. But oftentimes, those who are footing the bill - voters, state legislatures and county budgeting offices - question the effectiveness of these programs. In Oregon, those questions are being addressed with the help of SAS. Questions like: Are education and treatment programs reducing prison cycles? 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.
