Birmingham, AL – November 3, 2022 – Black Creek Integrated Systems Corp. has been selected to provide our SallyPort©IL Jail Management System for use by the Winnebago Co. Sheriff’s Office to manage inmate data at the Winnebago Co. Jail, located in Rockford, IL. The Winnebago Co. Jail is a 1,212-bed medium-security detention facility, with an average daily population of 870 inmates and approximately 210 new bookings per month. Inmates are generally housed in this facility for 2 years or less while awaiting trial or sentencing. In addition to housing inmates for the County, the facility accepts inmates from surrounding municipalities, the US Marshal's Service, and the Rockford Police Department, who do not have their own long-term lock-up.

SallyPort©IL© is a browser-based jail management system that provides greater efficiency and security for inmate records management via its many intrinsic features, including My Queues and workflow, digital mugshot image capture, inmate screening and classification, inmate time computation, inmate property inventory and transactions, inmate scheduling module, facility account module, standard and ad-hoc reporting capabilities, medical module, expansive audit capabilities, threat group assessment, intra-agency messaging, and electronic shift log to replace paper logs. Additional integration to be implemented for Winnebago Co. will include interfaces to the Livescan fingerprint system, the VINE database for victim notifications related to inmate releases, an interface to the facility’s inmate phone system, the Inmate Commissary system, the NCIC database for warrants and criminal history checks, the facility’s electronic medical records system, and the County’s law enforcement records management system.

As part of its implementation of SallyPort©IL,© the Winnebago Co. Sheriff’s Office will also employ Black Creek’s wellness check and guard tour system, Watch Tour Manager®, which allows agency management to ensure facility tours are conducted on schedule and in compliance with policy. Black Creek’s Watch Tour Manager® application is the most innovative correctional wellness check system in the industry and is fully integrated with SallyPort©IL. Using compatible mobile devices, officers can conduct tours, capture images and videos, enter notes, and receive alerts, all from the palms of their hands. Supervisors receive real-time notification of missed or late tours, as well as advanced tracking and reporting of tours by officer, unit, alert type, and date range.
