ABSTRACT: JDIS consolidates four USMS applications: Warrant Information Network (WIN),
Prisoner Tracking System (PTS), Automated Prisoner Scheduling System (APSS), and Automated
Booking System (ABS) to produce a centralized database containing the majority of prisoner data
records collected by the USMS. JDIS is currently in development mode.
PURPOSE: The purpose of JDIS is to have one database that can be accessed to reveal complete
prisoner records of all prisoners who are in custody or have a federal warrant issued or are
scheduled for a move.
ACCESS CONSTRAINTS: All records in JDIS are protected from unauthorized access through
appropriate administrative, physical, and technical safeguards. These safeguards include
restricting access to those with a need to know to perform their official duties, using locks and
alarm devices, passwords and/or encrypting data communications.
USE CONSTRAINTS: Users of JDIS will be restricted to only those privileges necessary to
perform assigned tasks. AGENCY PROGRAM: The USMS is charged with ensuring the effective operation of the
judicial system. JDIS will be the primary information system tool to accomplish this.
SOURCES OF DATA: Prisoner records in JDIS will be entered as a result of data provided by
the Federal, State, and local criminal justice agencies, the courts, medical care professionals,
public and private organizations, witnesses, informants, and other persons interviewed during
fugitive investigations.
