GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
This dataset contains Jails and Prisons (Correctional Institutions) in the State of Florida. The Jails and Prisons sub-layer is part of the Emergency Law Enforcement Sector and the Critical Infrastructure Category. A Jail or Prison consists of any facility or location where individuals are regularly and lawfully detained against their will. This includes Federal and State prisons, local jails, and juvenile detention facilities, as well as law enforcement temporary holding facilities. Work camps, including camps operated seasonally, are included if they otherwise meet the definition. A Federal Prison is a facility operated by the Federal Bureau of Prisons for the incarceration of individuals. A State Prison is a facility operated by a state, commonwealth, or territory of the US for the incarceration of individuals for a term usually longer than 1 year. A Juvenile Detention Facility is a facility for the incarceration of those who have not yet reached the age of majority (usually 18 years). A Local Jail is a locally administered facility that holds inmates beyond arraignment (usually 72 hours) and is staffed by municipal or county employees. A temporary holding facility, sometimes referred to as a "police lock up" or "drunk tank", is a facility used to detain people prior to arraignment. Locations that are administrative offices only are excluded from the dataset. This definition of Jails is consistent with that used by the Department of Justice (DOJ) in their "National Jail Census", with the exception of "temporary holding facilities", which the DOJ excludes. If the facility is enclosed with a fence, wall, or structure with a gate around the buildings only, the locations were depicted as ONENTITY at the entrance. If the facility's buildings are not enclosed, the locations were depicted as ONENTITY on the building or BLOCKFACE on the correct street segment. Text fields in this dataset have been set to all upper case to facilitate consistent database engine search results. All diacritics (e.g., the German umlaut or the Spanish tilde) have been replaced with their closest equivalent English character to facilitate use with database systems that may not support diacritics. The currentness of this dataset is indicated by the [CONTDATE] attribute. Based upon this attribute, the oldest record is dated 03/02/2007 and the newest record is dated 05/31/2007. This dataset was created by TechniGraphics, Inc. for the Florida Division of Emergency Management.

FEATURE ATTRIBUTE TABLES CODES AND VALUES:

Item
Item Description
ID Unique identifier for feature.

METLNKID Link to Metadata.

FEATTYPE Geometry type of feature.
POINT = Feature is represented by point.


SECCLASS Security classification of feature.
UNCLASSIFIED = Entity is unclassified.


NAME Name of entity.

AREA_ Three (3) digit telephone area code for entity.

PHONE Seven (7) digit telephone number for entity formatted as nnn-nnnn. All alphabetic characters have been translated to the corresponding numeric digit.

ADDRESS Physical street address for entity. "PO Box", "General Delivery", "Rural Route", and "Highway Contract" addresses are not considered physical addresses and should not appear in this attribute. Some areas do not have regular city style addressing so entities in those areas may not have a street number. In such cases, the name of the road they are located on is listed in this attribute. Some rural areas may not have named roads. In these rare cases, this attribute will be blank.

ADDRESS2 Location within physical address, e.g., floor, suite, building.

CITY The name of the city associated with the entity's physical address. For physical addresses that the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) delivers to, this should be a "city" acceptable to the USPS as defined in their Address Information System (AIS). Sometimes the USPS does not deliver mail to a physical address, but recognizes the location (i.e., they list the location as "undeliverable"). The cities associated with these locations are acceptable. In some cases, the USPS does not recognize individual physical addresses in a city; rather, they list the city as having "General Delivery". In these cases, the city and associated zip code are acceptable (the entity's [ADDRESS] attribute will contain a street address, not "general delivery"). The entity may not actually be located within the city limits of the "city" specified in its city field. Instead, it may actually be located within the city limits of another city. In some cases, the "city" that appears in this attribute may not even be a city in an administrative sense, but it is still an acceptable "city" to the USPS. An example of this is "Notre Dame, IN". There is no city in Indiana called "Notre Dame", but this is considered an acceptable city by the USPS for any delivery going to the University of Notre Dame which is actually located in the city of South Bend. "Notre Dame", like most USPS cities, is an easily recognized place, and it gives the user of the data a good general idea of where the entity is located (if the entity is located in a small municipality, the USPS "city" may be more recognizable than the name of the municipality), and it would be part of the address one would use to send a shipment to the entity's location. Using the USPS acceptable "city" also allows someone to do a logical consistency check between the zip code and the city by using the USPS AIS. Sometimes an entity may report a city that is not accepted by the USPS, and although TGS has tried to replace those cities with an acceptable alternative, some of them may remain in this dataset.

STATE Two (2) character abbreviation for state associated with the entity's physical address. In almost all cases, this is the same as the state where the entity has been depicted geospatially. However, there are cases, particularly where an entity is part of a larger facility that cuts across state lines, where the entity's location may be depicted in a state other than the one indicated in this attribute. Also, the state in which an entity appears to be located may change depending on the scale of the state boundary theme being used.

ZIP Five (5) digit USPS zip code for entity's physical location.

ZIPP4 Four (4) digit USPS zip code extension. This attribute was automatically assigned using the entity's physical address and USPS address information system (AIS) data.

COUNTY County name where entity is located.

FIPS Five (5) digit FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standards) Code for the County where entity is located. The first two (2) digits represent the state and the last three (3) digits identify the county within the state.

DIRECTIONS Directions to entity location, or description of the entity's location.

EMERGTITLE Title of person or name of office for emergency point of contact.

EMERGPHONE Ten (10) digit telephone number of emergency point of contact formatted as nnn-nnn-nnnn. All alphabetic characters have been translated to the corresponding numeric digit.

EMERGEXT Telephone extension for emergency point of contact.

CONTDATE Date entity was contacted by TGS.

CONTHOW Method by which entity was contacted.
PHONE = Entity was contacted by phone.

FAX = Entity was contacted by fax.

MAIL = Entity was contacted by mail.

EMAIL = Entity was contacted by email.

WEB = Entity information was gathered and/or verified by official entity website as a last resort.

ALT REF = Geospatial reference information obtained from local authorities, e.g., downloadable parcel maps, 911 streets.


GEODATE Date entity was geocoded by TGS.

GEOHOW Method by which entity was geocoded.
AUTO = Entity was automatically geocoded.

MANUAL = Entity was manually geocoded.

ADJUSTED = Entity was shifted by TGS to an updated set of NAVTEQ streets. This only applies if the entity was manually geocoded by TGS to a previous version of NAVTEQ streets.

PROVIDED = Entity was geocoded using coordinates provided by the state.


NAICSCODE NAICS (North American Industry Classification System) Code for entity. NAICS Codes (and NAICS Descriptions) have been assigned based upon the entity's primary function, regardless of if that is the function that qualified it to be included in this dataset.

NAICSDESCR NAICS (North American Industry Classification System) Description for entity. The "Index Entries" that appear on the NAICS webpage (http://www.census.gov/epcd/www/naics.html) are being used to populate this attribute as opposed to the "NAICS Title". While there is a one to one correspondence between NAICS Codes and "NAICS Titles", there is a one to many relationship between NAICS Codes and the "Index Entries". By using the "Index Entries", we have placed the entities that make up this layer into more specific categories; however, the user of this data should be aware that this was not the intended purpose of these "Index Entries". The "Index Entries" were intended as a way to search the NAICS database and as a way of enumerating ways in which establishments falling under the given NAICS Code may be named. Thus, there are often two or more "Index Entries" that are synonyms, for example: "Prisons" and "Penitentiaries". In cases like this, we have standardized on one "Index Entry". NAICS Descriptions (and NAICS Codes) have been assigned based upon the entity's primary function, regardless of the function that qualified it to be included in this dataset.
PRISONS = PRISONS - [NAICS Code 922140]: Entity is a prison. A prison is a facility where persons convicted of the commission of a felony are held. Prisons may be called "Prisons", "Reformatories", "Penitentiaries", "Detention Centers", or "Correctional Centers", although the use of one of these terms in an entity's name does not necessarily indicate that the entity is in fact a "Prison" in the narrow sense used here.

JAILS (EXCEPT PRIVATE OPERATION OF) = JAILS (EXCEPT PRIVATE OPERATION OF) - [NAICS Code 922140]: Entity is a jail. A jail is a facility that holds inmates beyond arraignment (usually 72 hours) and prior to sentencing. Jails may also hold inmates serving short sentences (up to a year) for minor crimes. This includes locally administered jails that are staffed by municipal or county employees. This also includes regional jails operated for two or more jail authorities and Federal Bureau of Prisons facilities that function as jails.

The above definition is consistent with that used by the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) Census of Jails (http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/pub/pdf/cj99.pdf), except that the BJS includes "private jails operating under contract to governments".

Facilities that function as both Jails and Prisons are classified under prisons. State-operated facilities in Alaska, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Rhode Island, and Vermont serve as both prisons and jails, so they have been classified under Prisons.

Also included under this category are temporary holding facilities, sometimes referred to as "police lock ups" or "drunk tanks". Temporary holding facilities are used to detain people prior to arraignment. Although these are included under this category, the BJS excludes them from their Census of Jails.

CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTIONS = CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTIONS - [NAICS Code 922140]: Entity is a correctional institution, but we were unable to determine if it was a jail or a prison. This includes juvenile detention centers if the primary purpose of the center is corrections. Juvenile facilities that deal with problematic youth not convicted of a crime have been categorized under BOYS' and GIRLS' RESIDENTIAL FACTILITIES (E.G., HOMES, RANCHES, VILLAGES) - [NAICS Code 623990]

JAIL OPERATION ON A CONTRACT OR FEE BASIS = JAIL OPERATION ON A CONTRACT OR FEE BASIS - [NAICS Code 561210]: Entity is a jail operated by a private firm under contract to a government agency. A jail is a facility that holds inmates beyond arraignment (usually 72 hours).

CORRECTIONAL FACILITY OPERATION ON A CONTRACT OR FEE BASIS = CORRECTIONAL FACILITY OPERATION ON A CONTRACT OR FEE BASIS - [NAICS Code 561210]: Entity is a correctional facility, other than a jail, operated by a private firm under contract to a government agency.

BOYS' AND GIRLS' RESIDENTIAL FACILITIES (E.G., HOMES, RANCHES, VILLAGES) = BOYS' AND GIRLS' RESIDENTIAL FACILITIES (E.G., HOMES, RANCHES, VILLAGES) - [NAICS Code 623990]: Entity is a NON CORRECTIONAL facility for juveniles. In other words, a facility that houses (and perhaps detains) problematic juveniles that have not necessarily been convicted of, or charged with, a crime.

CORRECTIONAL BOOT CAMPS = CORRECTIONAL BOOT CAMPS - [NAICS Code 922140]: Entity is a correctional camp. In such facilities, the nature of the correctional / reform methods are similar to those used in military boot camps or otherwise involve outdoor labor and/or intense exercise. These entities may be seasonal in nature.

HALFWAY GROUP HOMES FOR DELINQUENTS AND EX-OFFENDERS = HALFWAY GROUP HOMES FOR DELINQUENTS AND EX-OFFENDERS - [NAICS Code 623990]: Entities that house those released from prison. The individual housed in such a facility is no longer considered under the jurisdiction of the correctional system. Participants are usually recovering from substance abuse or mental illness.

PRISON FARMS = PRISON FARMS - [NAICS Code 922140]: Entities where the inmate population works on a farm or ranch as part of their punishment / rehabilitation.

BOOT CAMPS FOR DELINQUENT YOUTH = BOOT CAMPS FOR DELINQUENT YOUTH - [NAICS Code 623990]: Entity is a correctional camp for juveniles. In such facilities, the nature of the correctional / reform methods are similar to those used in military boot camps or otherwise involve outdoor labor and/or intense exercise. These entities may be seasonal in nature.

REHABILITATION SERVICES, CORRECTIONAL, GOVERNMENT = REHABILITATION SERVICES, CORRECTIONAL, GOVERNMENT - [NAICS Code 922150]: Entity is a treatment center that attempts to change or reform a convicted person so that he or she will not commit another criminal act. These entities facilitate reintegration into the community with a greater chance of succeeding.

JAILS, PRIVATELY OPERATED = JAILS, PRIVATELY OPERATED - [NAICS Code 561210]: Entity is a jail. A jail is a facility that holds inmates beyond arraignment (usually 72 hours) and prior to sentencing. Jails may also hold inmates serving short sentences (up to a year) for minor crimes. These include private jails operating under contract to governments.

The above definition is consistent with that used by the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) Census of Jails (http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/pub/pdf/cj99.pdf), except that the BJS includes "locally administered jails that are staffed by municipal or county employees, regional jails operated for two or more jail authorities and Federal Bureau of Prisons facilities that function as jails.".


GEOLINKID Link ID for the street segment to which entity was geocoded. Refer to the [ST_VENDOR] and [ST_VERSION] attributes for the street vendor and version that was used to geocode the entity.

X Longitude in WGS 84 Decimal Degrees.

Y Latitude in WGS 84 Decimal Degrees.

ST_VENDOR Indicates name of vendor providing original street data used for geocoding.
NAVTEQ = NAVTEQ streets were used for geocoding.

TGS = TGS drew in a new street segment that does not exist in the file supplied by NAVTEQ.

DESCRIPT Based on NAME.

FGDLAQDATE The date FGDL acquired the data from the Source.

AUTOID GeoPlan feature identification number.


USER NOTES:
See "Attribute_Accuracy_Report". 
Many of the checks described in that section check for both 
attribute accuracy and logical consistency.
This dataset is based on information provided by the Florida Department of 
Emergency Management (FDEM).

Locations that are administrative offices only are excluded from the dataset.
GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within
the original data.

For entities that were contacted, the name, address, city, state, and five (5) digit 
zip codes were verified to be correct as of the date indicated by the [CONTDATE] 
attribute. The existence of the entity was also verified, as well as whether or not it 
met the criteria for inclusion in this dataset. Four (4) digit zip code extensions were 
derived from USPS (United States Postal Service) data and were not verified.

ID Check: The [ID] attribute is not blank and all IDs are unique.

Coordinate Check: Coordinates are not null or zero and the x and y fields match 
the shape.

Basic Address Check: Physical addresses were verified to be non blank and to 
not be a "PO Box", "General Delivery", "Highway Contract", or "Rural Route" 
address. 

Highway Address without Type Check: Physical addresses containing the word 
"Highway" or "Route" were verified to also contain a type designator such as 
"State", "US", or "County", if one actually exists for the highway or route. These 
type designators are often missing from addresses, leading to confusion if more 
than one "Highway" of the given number exists in an area. 

Basic Name Check: Entity name is not blank, is not the same as entity city, and 
has a minimum of 2 characters. Name does not contain punctuation characters 
that can interfere with database operations, such as " (quote) and * (asterisk). 

Basic Phone Check: All phone numbers (including the area code) are ten (10) 
numeric digits. Alphabetic characters have been converted to the corresponding 
numeric digit. 

City Check: Entity city is not blank and is found in the named places file within 25 
miles.

County FIPS to State Compare Check: The county represented by the tabular 
FIPS Code attribute is actually in the state specified by the state attribute. 

County Name to State Compare Check: The county represented by the tabular 
county name attribute is actually in the state specified by the state attribute. 

Phone Number Format Check: Phone numbers (including area code) were verified
to be formatted as nnn-nnn-nnnn. 

NPA_NXX Check: Area codes (sometimes called "Number Planning Areas", or 
NPA's) and central office codes (sometimes known as exchanges, or NXX's) were 
validated against data from the North American Number Planning Administration 
(NANPA). In some cases, NPA-NXX combinations did not show up in the NANPA
data but were verified to work. 

Area Code Distance Check: Area code (NPA) is valid and is within its area code 
boundary. 

Zip Code Check: The zip code is five (5) or nine (9) numeric digits, is listed in the 
postal database, is in the same state as indicated by the entity's [STATE] attribute,
and is not a PO Box only zip code. 

Zip City Check: The entity's zip code and its city were verified to match according
to the USPS Address Information System (AIS). 

Collocation Check: Entities with different addresses must not share the exact 
same geospatial location.

Geographic Spell Check: Words that appear in the entity name were checked 
against a standard English word list (and Spanish word list for entities in Puerto 
Rico). Words not appearing in these standard word lists were then checked 
against names appearing in the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) of 
geographic features that are located within 25 miles of the entity. Proper names 
were manually reviewed for correct spelling.

Critical Facilities

To assist in emergency response and planning, the GIS Lab, working with local, 
state, and federal agencies maintains shelters, emergency operations centers, 
critical facilities, and hazardous material facilities datasets.

"Critical facilities" are defined as those structures from which essential services 
and functions for victim survival, continuation of public safety actions, and disaster 
recovery are performed or provided. Shelters, emergency operation centers, public 
health, public drinking water, sewer and wastewater facilities are examples of 
critical facilities. Though not explicitly included in the definition, supporting life-line 
infrastructure essential to the mission of critical facilities must also be included in 
the inventory when appropriate.

"Critical infrastructure" is defined as those systems and assets, whether physical 
or virtual, so vital that the incapacity or destruction of such systems and assets 
would have a debilitating impact on security, economy, public health or safety, or 
any combination of these elements.

The domain of the GIS Lab is specifically related to "critical facilities", while 
working closely with Florida's Regional Domestic Security Task Forces to ensure a
safe and secure Florida.

Several critical facilities data layers are maintained by other agencies, and the GIS
Lab works closely with these agencies to make sure updated data is readily 
available. Examples include:

    * Drinking Water Facilities - Florida Department of Environmental Protection
    * Environmental Health Facilities - Florida Department of Health
    * Fire Stations - Florida State Fire Marshal
    * Health Care Facilities - Agency for Health Care Administration
    * Petroleum Storage Tanks - Florida Department of Environmental Protection
    * Schools - Florida Department of Education
    * Solid Waste Facilities - Florida Department of Environmental Protection

Other data layers, like Hazardous Materials Facilities, Mobile Home Parks, and 
Hotel/Motels, while not specifically critical facilities, are facilities of interest for 
emergency managers, and the GIS Lab is also actively involved in facilitiating 
access to these data layers.

Homeland Security Infrastructure Program

The Homeland Security Infrastructure Program (HSIP) is a collection of base map 
layers and homeland security related geospatial data. Currently, the emphasis of 
this program is on sharing and improving data to create uniform state & federal 
information. Working with contractors, the GIS Lab is providing data from state 
and local sources for QA/QC under the HSIP Freedom project.

    * Correctional Facilities - delivered April 2007

Emergency Management GIS Data Downloads

At this time, FDEM does not provide datasets for download, but may be contacted 
(Richard Butgereit 850-413-9907) for further information.

Homeland Security  

Use Cases: Use cases describe how the data may be used and help to define 
and clarify requirements.  

1) A threat to cause the mass release of prisoners by an outside terrorist group has 
been identified. Steps need to be taken to provide extra security at the targeted 
prisons.  

2) Massive civil unrest has resulted in a large number of arrests. Appropriate space 
is needed outside of the immediate area to house the arrested individuals.  

3) Massive civil unrest has resulted in a large number of arrests. A "holding camp"
has been established to hold those arrested. Trained security guards are needed 
to staff the holding camp.  

4) A disaster has caused the need for an emergency labor force (e.g., 
sandbagging during a flood) and prisoners may fill that need.

5) Inmates may need to be evacuated, or appropriate steps may need to be taken
at a prison to protect the inmates and to insure that a disaster does not present an 
opportunity for escape.

The geographic location of contacted entities was verified to be correct relative to 
the street data and version indicated by the [ST_VENDOR] and [ST_VERSION] 
attributes. The horizontal accuracy is indicated by the [GEOPREC] attribute. A 
value of "BLOCKFACE" indicates the entity was geocoded on the correct block 
and correct side of the street. A value of "ONENTITY" indicates that the location 
is on the entity's facility, as determined by USGS DOQQ imagery, and is on the 
correct block and correct side of the street. Entities that are part of a larger 
institution (e.g., University Campus or Military Base) with "BLOCKFACE" precision 
may be located at the main entrance to the larger institution.

This data is provided 'as is' and its vertical positional accuracy
has not been verified by GeoPlan

THE DATA INCLUDED IN FGDL ARE 'AS IS' AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSTRUED
AS LEGALLY BINDING. THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA GEOPLAN CENTER SHALL
NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES SUFFERED AS A RESULT OF USING,
MODIFYING, CONTRIBUTING OR DISTRIBUTING THE MATERIALS.

A note about data scale: 

Scale is an important factor in data usage.  Certain scale datasets
are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes.
Please be sure you are using the best available data. 

1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
county level.
1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such
as property parcel boundaries.
1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
multi-county or regional level.
1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
regional or state level or larger.

Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be
considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data
before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been
made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional
information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact
section of this documentation. For more information regarding
scale and accuracy, see our webpage at:

spatial database engines.
Process Date: 20070820

GeoPlan Center received the data via FTP from the Florida Division of Emergency Management (FDEM) on March 18, 2008. The original dataset was named: 2007_08_20_FL_Correctional_InstitutionsQ307.shp The original dataset projection was: Spatial_Reference_Information: Horizontal_Coordinate_System_Definition: Geographic: Latitude_Resolution: 0.000000 Longitude_Resolution: 0.000000 Geographic_Coordinate_Units: Decimal degrees Geodetic_Model: Horizontal_Datum_Name: D_WGS_1984 Ellipsoid_Name: WGS_1984 Semi-major_Axis: 6378137.000000 Denominator_of_Flattening_Ratio: 298.257224 The dataset was renamed to: fdem_correctional_aug07.shp The dataset was reprojected to the FGDL Albers NAD83 HARN projection. The dataset features were matched to their 1-kilometer United States National Grid (USNG) address via a spatial join, the USNG address can be found in the USNG_FL_1K field. The USNG is an alpha-numeric reference system based on the UTM coordinate system and is similar to the Military Grid Reference System.
