FY 2016 Appropriation

The Division of Institutional Operations (DIO) manages the inmate population. This division manages the department's most costly infrastructure and over half of all department employees while supervising inmates in two state facilities and multiple locations under contracts with the counties. Although UDC does not manage each incarcerated offender, UDC is responsible for the oversight of all state inmates in state-owned facilities or in county jails.

Statute

UCA 64-13-7 requires the department to assign or transfer offenders to facilities and programs;
UCA 64-13-14 requires the department to maintain and operate secure facilities for the incarceration of offenders;
UCA 64-13-14.7 requires the department to notify the victim of an offender's release; and
UCA 64-13-38 establishes procedures for an emergency release due to overcrowding of the State prison system.

Operational capacity means 96.5% of every physical and funded bed is occupied by an inmate. Maximum capacity means every physical and funded prison bed is occupied by an inmate.

The Division of Institutional Operations houses the inmate population at two prison sites: Draper (24 buildings) and Gunnison (seven buildings).

Institutional Operations Administration is responsible for providing the policy making and administrative support that assists the DIO in providing confinement and control for offenders committed to the state prison system. Institutional Operations Administration manages all aspects of the state's prison system.

This program also has direct responsibility for staff discipline and grievances. It includes financial, personnel, and public information functions.

The DIO manages the prison population using a classification system that is comprised of two major parts: first, a behavioral scale called the Adult Inmate Management System to determine the level of an inmate's aggression and passivity; second, the Security/Custody Score, which is generated by using historical information, including the seriousness of the crime and other behavioral traits.
