The JIP program incorporates graphics, video, audio, and animation. It provides the jail manager a modern and effective way to train personnel in the functions associated with the jail booking process. Currently, most jails use classroom training, videos, handouts, and on-the-job training. These methods, although essential in some subject matters, are not able to provide both the student and the instructor flexibility in the delivery of information, nor do they allow customized training that is tailored to the employees' capabilities and the issues important to jail managers and supervisors. Under JIP training the progress of employees in meeting specific training objectives is documented. For those employees who are slow in catching on to the training regimen, the JIP program provides 24-hour access and assistance in achieving specific training objectives. Employees can move at their own pace in achieving tasks and objectives. Similarly, the degree of flexibility provided to jail managers and training personnel is wide. The monitoring of employee performance is enhanced and daily, weekly, and monthly reports can show employee progress. Through the use of computer technology, the trainee is introduced to the five major steps in the booking process: medical screening, prebooking, search, fingerprints/photos, and actual booking. This article describes how the JIP program provides instruction for each of these steps. 9 figures and 8 references
