Justice Reinvestment and Supervision Practices
North Dakota's rich prison and supervision data powered the analysis
in today's presentation
1.4 million records received from DOCR
Probation/parole admission: Unit of supervision
data analysis representing the event at which a person
begins either probation or parole supervision. Admissions
are based on case number and supervision start date,
and can include multiple charges within a case.
Prison release: Unit of prison data analysis
representing the event at which a person is released
from a DOCR or contracted facility. Prison release counts
are based on release date and can include multiple cases
and charges, if the sentences ended on the same day.
Probation/parole one-day snapshot: Unit of
supervision data analysis representing all active
probation and/or parole cases on the last day of a fiscal
year (June 30th).
Prison one-day snapshot: Unit of prison data
analysis representing the standing population in DOCR or
contracted facilities as of the last day of a fiscal year
(June 30th).
Prison admission: Unit of prison data analysis
representing the event at which a person is admitted
to a DOCR or contracted facility. Prison admission
counts are based on admission date and reason and
can include multiple cases and charges if the

Governing Offense: The single charge associated
with a prison inmate or supervision case. If there are
multiple charges, the governing offense is categorized
by the most serious charge based on a prioritized

supervision data analysis representing the event at
which a person ends either probation or parole
