What is the purpose of the monthly reports of prisoners (NAVPERS 1640/11)?

The monthly reports of prisoners, known as NAVPERS 1640/11, serve a critical function in maintaining an accurate and comprehensive overview of the prison population. This report is used to systematically record the counts of inmates at the facility, as well as their service and status, which includes details about their confinement, such as their classification and any relevant progression through their sentencing or rehabilitation processes.

Accurate records in this report help in ensuring that all personnel involved in managing the prison population have access to updated information, which is essential for effective operations, including security, resource allocation, and logistical planning. Comprehensive tracking of inmates also aids in compliance with legal and regulatory standards and contributes to the overall safety and functioning of the confinement environment. The full understanding of prisoner status is vital for follow-up actions related to their rehabilitation and reintegration into society, making it an essential part of corrections management.
