  • When SOMSStrategic Offender Management is not available or the institution’s/facility’s electrical power fails staff shall manually prepare tentative out count rosters and submit the rosters to Central Control.

  • The tentative out count roster that is submitted to Central Control shall include cell/bed number, inmate’s name and CDC number, and the area where the inmate(s) will be out counted. Staff out counting inmates shall submit their tentative out count roster in SOMSStrategic Offender Management using the automated out count process.
