FEATURE ATTRIBUTE TABLES:

Datafile Name: GC_CORRECTIONALBND_SEP17.DBF

FEATURE ATTRIBUTE TABLES CODES AND VALUES:

Item	Item Description
OBJECTID	Internal feature number.
Shape	Feature geometry.
PARCELID	Parcel Identification Number, derived from the 2015 statewide parcel layers.
NAME	Name of the correctional facility.
ADDRESS	A description of a facility's physical location providing direction for delivery and provision of emergency services.
CITY	City of facility's physical location.
ZIPCODE	US postal delivery designation of facility's physical location.
COUNTY	County where the facility is located.
PHONE	Facility phone number.
TYPE	The type of facility. Correctional Institutions = Prisons with fences, razor wire or ribbon, electronic detection systems, perimeter towers with armed correctional officers and/or officers in roving perimeter vehicles. Most of these inmates do not reside in cells, but in open bay dormitories with bunk beds. Some exceptions include those confined for disciplinary or security reasons, and those on death row. These facilities are divided into seven levels of security ranging from minimum custody facilities to maximum custody facilities. About 85% of the Florida prison population is housed in a major institution. Work/Forestry Camps = Minimum to medium custody facilities, surrounded by fences and razor ribbon. Inmates are usually transferred to a work camp after completing part of their sentences at a correctional institution and demonstrating satisfactory adjustment. Most of these work camps are located next to correctional institutions enabling the sharing of facilities like laundry and health services. The inmates housed at these facilities may be assigned to community and public work squads. Their jobs include cleaning up roadways and right-of-ways, grounds and building maintenance, painting, building construction projects, moving state offices, and cleaning up forests. About 11% of the prison population resides in work camps. Work Release Centers (WRC) = House two categories of inmates: community custody inmates who are participating in community work release by working at paid employment in the community and minimum custody inmates who are participating in a center work assignment by working in a support capacity for the center (such as food services and laundry). They must be within two or three years of their release date, depending on their job assignment. Sex offenders may not participate in work release or center work assignments. There are no perimeter fences, and inmates must remain at the WRC when they are not working or attending programs such as Alcoholics Anonymous. Inmates participating in work release must save part of their earnings for when they are released in order to pay toward victim restitution as well as room and board. More than 3,000 inmates participate in Florida's work release programs annually, with about 3% of the prison population enrolled at any given time. Work release centers are supervised by the Department's Office of Institutions. Road Prisons = House minimum and medium custody inmates and have perimeter fences. Most of these inmates work on community work squads and the highways doing road work. Their jobs also include support services to state agencies such as collecting recycling materials and moving furniture. Less than 1% of the prison population is housed in road prisons. Juvenile Detention Facility = Youth placed in Secure Detention have been assessed as risks to public safety, per the DRAI and must remain in a physically secure detention center while awaiting court proceedings. Youth arrested for minor crimes that are not considered a risk to public safety may be released into the custody of their parents or guardian. During FY 2009-10 there were a total of 25,008 individual youth served in secure detention. Juvenile Residential Facility = Residential Services provides a continuum of care for youth committed to the care and custody of the Department, beginning with commitment management services through placement within residential commitment programs. Commitment management includes the development, maintenance and management of a juvenile commitment management and classification placement system. Unlike the adult correctional system, youths in residential commitment programs must receive educational and vocational services. Juveniles are committed to these programs for an indeterminate length of time. They must complete an individually-designed treatment plan that is based on their rehabilitative needs as one of the requirements for release. JAIL = Typically jails are intended to hold persons awaiting trials or serving sentences of less than one year. Federal Correctional Institution = The Federal Prison Bureau operates institutions at five different security levels in order to confine offenders in an appropriate manner. Security levels are based on such features as the presence of external patrols, towers, security barriers, or detection devices; the type of housing within the institution; internal security features; and the staff-to-inmate ratio. Each facility is designated as either minimum, low, medium, high, or administrative. Federal Administrative = Institutions with special missions, such as the detention of pretrial offenders; the treatment of inmates with serious or chronic medical problems; or the containment of extremely dangerous, violent, or escape-prone inmates. Federal Penitentiary = High security institutions that have highly secured perimeters (featuring walls or reinforced fences), multiple- and single-occupant cell housing, the highest staff-to-inmate ratio, and close control of inmate movement. Federal Prison Camp = Minimum security institutions that have dormitory housing, a relatively low staff-to-inmate ratio, and limited or no perimeter fencing. These institutions are work- and program-oriented; and many are located adjacent to larger institutions or on military bases, where inmates help serve the labor needs of the larger institution or base.
OWNER	Entity owner of the facility.
OPERATING	The responsible organization for management and operation of a facility (e.g., FEDERAL, STATE, COUNTY, MUNICIPAL, PRIVATE, WMD, etc).

The MGRS provides a means to represent any location on the surface of the Earth using an alphanumeric string. Hierarchical references are based on the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinate system. The MGRS is used for the entire earth. http://mgrs-data.org/
GCID	The GeoPlan Center identification number that links this point layer feature with it's corresponding polygon feature layer.
ACRES	Facility Acreage.
DESCRIPT	Field added by FGDL based on NAME.
FLAG	Type of updated that occurred. V = Verified, in most cases this verification was based on ESRI/Google Imagery, Google Street View, and Parcel Data. The exact facility boundaries are not verified and in many cases only based on parcel boundaries. NV = Not Verified
UPDATE_DAY	The date the data was last updated by the source.
FGDLAQDATE	The date FGDL acquired the data from the source.
AUTOID	Unique ID added by GeoPlan

What is Geocoding? Geocoding is term used to describe the act of address matching. Geocoding is the process of finding a geographic location (x, y point) for an address (such as street number and name, city, state, and ZIP Code) on a map. Geocoding is based off the typical address scheme for the US, in which one side of the street contains even house numbers while the other side of the street contains odd house numbers. The geocoding process uses an algorithm to find the geographic location of addresses. First, a street segment is identified using the zip code and street name. Next, the geographic location of the address is matched using the building number to determine how far down the street and on which side of the street the building is located. Geocoding Accuracy The locational accuracy of geocoded addresses may vary from urban to rural areas due to the algorithm used to generate the geographic locations of addresses. The algorithm assumes that the size of parcels are equivalent along a road route. This assumption tends to be more consistent in urban areas, where the size of parcels vary less than in rural areas. Consequently, the results of geocoded addresses in urban areas are usually more reliable than those in rural areas. For example, the locational accuracy of rural addresses can be slightly off because some parcels along a rural route may be 15 acres while others may be 2.5 acres, but the geocoding algorithm assumes that the addresses are distributed evenly along the route.

The data was created to serve as base information for use in GIS systems for a variety of planning and analytical purposes.

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:

In 2017, GeoPlan created the Florida correctional facilities boundaries shapefile. During the QA/QC process, GeoPlan performed the following tasks: -Created a new shapefile (GC_CORRECTIONALBND_JUL16.shp) with an Albers projection. -Spatially joined the correctional facilities points shapefile (GC_CORRECTIONAL_JUL16) with the 2015 Florida parcel layer. -Verified all records in GC_CORRECTIONALBND_JUL16.shp using imagery, 2015 FGDL parcel data, and Google Street View. -A GCID field was created and populated with a unique ID linking each polygon feature with its corresponding point layer feature, GC_CORRECTIONAL_JUL16. -To reflect the current table syntax by GeoPlan, all unnecessary parcel information fields were removed. -CONTACT, TITLE, AGENCY_ID, FCODE, GENDER, CAPACITY, POP, SLEVEL, REGION, SUBTYPE, PARCELID, NAME, ADDRESS, CITY, ZIPCODE, COUNTY, PHONE, TYPE, OWNER, OPERATING, OP_CLASS, FSOURCE, DATASOURCE, LAT_DD, LONG_DD, MGRS, ACRES, FLAG, UPDATE_DAY, and FGDLAQDATE fields were added and populated with data from the parcels and correctional facilities point shapefiles. -Used NAME to populate DESCRIPT field. -The table was restructured and uppercased.
