Title: Enhancing Supervision and Support for Released Prisoners: A Documentation and Evaluation of the Community Supervision Mapping System

Summary: Mapping has become increasingly employed in the field of criminal justice. Compared to the more traditional types of justice mapping, such as crime prevention and detection, spatially viewing returning prisoners and the reentry services or resources in their communities is a more recent development. This final report introduces the Community Supervision Mapping System (CSMS), an online tool that enables users to map the formerly incarcerated and others on probation, along with related data such as service provider locations and police districts. CSMS was developed and piloted in Rhode Island in 2008, and was intentionally designed to be a user-friendly, low-cost software package that is easy to replicate in other jurisdictions. This report documents the development process, implementation with a variety of users, and process and initial outcome evaluation of CSMS. Results from the evaluation indicate that the most popular search features on CSMS include a probationer’s name, a specific city, the general radius around a landmark (including schools, addresses, or services), an individual’s Department of Correction ID number, and probation officer caseload numbers. Probation officers use CSMS more often than reentry, law enforcement, or other users, and tend to use a wider variety of features for a more extensive range of purposes.
