Introduction<br />
Background<br />
The <strong>Jail</strong> <strong>Management</strong> <strong>System</strong> (JMS) is the primary computer system used by the <strong>Maricopa</strong><br />
<strong>County</strong> Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) to manage jail operations and inmates. JMS includes<br />
information on booking, fingerprinting, food services, housing, transportation, health, inmate<br />
property, and bonding.<br />
<strong>Jail</strong> <strong>Management</strong> <strong>System</strong> Organization<br />
The MCSO Technology Bureau (MCSO IT) is responsible for maintaining and supporting all<br />
MCSO business systems, including JMS. MCSO has approximately 3,500 employees and<br />
operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. MCSO IT’s 65 employees are responsible for ensuring<br />
that critical applications like JMS are available to support those operations. Below is the MCSO<br />

MCSO IT began developing JMS in 1990 and moved it into production in 1995. JMS runs on a<br />
mainframe, a powerful computer used for critical applications and bulk data processing. MCSO<br />
employees enter information into JMS throughout an inmate’s incarceration. JMS includes<br />
judicial information (inmate charges, holds, court dispositions, and bond and fine amounts) and<br />
administrative information (personal property inventory, locker assignment, housing location,<br />
restrictions, and emergency medical information). MCSO processes approximately 105 million<br />
transactions per year through the JMS system.<br />
