Objective 5: Place data analysts in residence at State DOCs to increase the utility of data for decision-making while also building the corrections analyst workforce.??
In October, the RCA continued to refine the dashboards, including documenting tableau calculations and cleaning the SQL code. CSG Justice Center staff reviewed the dashboards with the RCA before they were presented to the Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections (LDPSC) PreClassification Unit Manager, who was identified as the champion for the project going forward. The RCA presented the dashboards to the LDPSC PreClassification Unit Manager, who expressed excitement about the work the RCA and CSG Justice Center staff are doing on the dashboards. Additionally, CSG Justice Center staff worked with the RCA to configure parameters for the dashboards and the RCA began developing a user manual for the dashboards. LDPSC staff also created a Google Drive to share pertinent documents with CSG Justice Center staff. Lastly, CSG Justice Center staff and LDPSC developed a timeline for the final three months of the project to ensure a successful transition in January.
