Assigning Containers to Offenders

Step 2 in Receiving Offender Property.

The Manage Property Containers screen creates new containers for offenders, recording the property storage location. This screen may also be used to relocate property containers within the agency property locations, or to deactivate an existing container.

If you need to store any of the offender’s property in a container outside of the offender’s cell, you assign the property containers for these items on the Manage Property Containers screen. If the offender already has adequate storage assigned, move ahead to the next step in adding property to an offender’s inventory, the Transact Property Items screen. To create a new container:

  1. To access this screen from the Main Menu, select Institutions Property Manage Containersu.

  2. If necessary, query in the Header block to locate the offender’s record.

  3. Click Next Block to access the Property Container block. All the offender’s existing containers are listed in this block (if there is more than one, you can view them all by scrolling with the arrow keys).
