Arizona is one of the most inmates in the United States , with nearly half of the inmates convicted of non-violent drug crimes. In 2019, Arizona enacted a new law that prematurely releases prisoners imprisoned for certain nonviolent drug crimes. The (PDF file) bill , named SB1310, will implement a three-day reduction in sentence every seven days for prisoners who have completed eligible processes such as treatment of drug addiction. This means that prisoners who complete the process will be sentenced to 70% later, but this whistleblower reveals that the system that does this isn't really working.

The Arizona Correctional Bureau implemented software called 'ACIS' in November 2019 to manage prison sentences and other matters. However, a whistleblower in the case said, 'ACIS does not comply with the amended bill and cannot calculate the sentence or even list the subjects of SB1310 who should have been released.' The whistleblower has repeatedly warned the IT department in Arizona immediately after implementation, but the correction has not been made and the current situation is that employees are manually calculating. ..



'We have identified 733 inmates who are not currently registered with SB1310 and may be eligible to register,' said Bill Ramorrow, a spokeswoman for the Arizona Corrections Bureau. In collaboration with the ACIS developer, the software I'm trying to update. '

According to KJZZ, the ACIS bug was not confirmed in only one case of SB1310. More than 14,000 bugs have been identified in ACIS since its implementation, and whistleblowers said, 'ACIS bugs are difficult to fix and must be done manually. ACIS costs a lot of money to develop. There are some features that are spent but not available at all. '
