In this audit, we reviewed the department’s classification process to screen incarcerated people for escape risk and observed physical security layouts and protocols for incarcerated people counts. We reviewed documentation on select escapes that occurred between January 1, 2022, and December 31, 2023, from minimum-support facilities and conservation camps—the only locations with reported escapes during the audit period. We also assessed both the security recommendations made by managers at affected facilities and the corrective action taken to address the escapes.
