Abstract

The system that was developed would eventually be known as the Housing Unit Management System or HUMANS for short. The acronym was chosen to signify the shift of emphasis in inmate management to become more inmatecentric. This acronym was only dropped some four years later when the system became the only system of inmate management within the Prison Service and the key plank of inmate management. The decision to stop using the term was also a result of comments from higher quarters that the term suggested that the Prison Service had gone “soft”.
