HSIP Correctional Institutions in New Mexico

Jails and Prisons (Correctional Institutions). The Jails and Prisons
sub-layer is part of the Emergency Law Enforcement Sector and the Critical
Infrastructure Category. A Jail or Prison consists of any facility or location where
individuals are regularly and lawfully detained against their will. This includes
Federal and State prisons, local jails, and juvenile detention facilities, as well
as law enforcement temporary holding facilities. Work camps, including camps
operated seasonally, are included if they otherwise meet the definition. A Federal
Prison is a facility operated by the Federal Bureau of Prisons for the incarceration
of individuals. A State Prison is a facility operated by a state, commonwealth, or
territory of the US for the incarceration of individuals for a term usually longer
than 1 year. A Juvenile Detention Facility is a facility for the incarceration of
those who have not yet reached the age of majority (usually 18 years). A Local Jail
is a locally administered facility that holds inmates beyond arraignment (usually 72
hours) and is staffed by municipal or county employees. A temporary holding
facility, sometimes referred to as a "police lock up" or "drunk tank", is a facility
used to detain people prior to arraignment. Locations that are administrative
offices only are excluded from the dataset. This definition of Jails is consistent
with that used by the Department of Justice (DOJ) in their "National Jail Census",
with the exception of "temporary holding facilities", which the DOJ excludes.
Locations which function primarily as law enforcement offices are included in this
dataset if they have holding cells. If the facility is enclosed with a fence, wall,
or structure with a gate around the buildings only, the locations were depicted as
"on entity" at the center of the facility. If the facility's buildings are not
enclosed, the locations were depicted as "on entity" on the main building or "block
face" on the correct street segment. Personal homes, administrative offices, and
temporary locations are intended to be excluded from this dataset. TGS has made a
concerted effort to include all correctional institutions. This dataset includes non
license restricted data from the following federal agencies: Bureau of Indian
Affairs; Bureau of Reclamation; U.S. Park Police; Federal Bureau of Prisons; Bureau
of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; U.S. Marshals Service; U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service; National Park Service; U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement;
and U.S. Customs and Border Protection. This dataset is comprised completely of
license free data. The Law Enforcement dataset and the Correctional Institutions
dataset were merged into one working file. TGS processed as one file and then
separated for delivery purposes. With the merge of the Law Enforcement and the
Correctional Institutions datasets, NAICS Codes & Descriptions were assigned
based on the facility's main function which was determined by the entity's name,
facility type, web research, and state supplied data. In instances where the
entity's primary function is both law enforcement and corrections, the NAICS Codes
and Descriptions are assigned based on the dataset in which the record is located
(i.e., a facility that serves as both a Sheriff's Office and as a jail is designated
as [NAICSDESCR]="SHERIFFS' OFFICES (EXCEPT COURT FUNCTIONS ONLY)" in the Law
Enforcement layer and as [NAICSDESCR]="JAILS (EXCEPT PRIVATE OPERATION OF)" in the
Correctional Institutions layer). Records with "-DOD" appended to the end of the
[NAME] value are located on a military base, as defined by the Defense Installation
Spatial Data Infrastructure (DISDI) military installations and military range
boundaries. "#" and "*" characters were automatically removed from standard fields
that TGS populated. Double spaces were replaced by single spaces in these same
fields. Text fields in this dataset have been set to all upper case to facilitate
consistent database engine search results. All diacritics (e.g., the German umlaut
or the Spanish tilde) have been replaced with their closest equivalent English
character to facilitate use with database systems that may not support diacritics.
The currentness of this dataset is indicated by the [CONTDATE] field. Based on the
values in this field, the oldest record dates from 12/27/2004 and the newest record
dates from 09/08/2009
