SUMMARY
The requirement to maintain and report certain financial and personnel data is a vital aspect
of most organizations. A confinement facility is no exception to the rule and must acquire and
maintain personnel data in the form of strength and accountability. All correctional personnel
are responsible for contributing information so that accurate records can be maintained by the
prisoner's administrative services branch. Once the prisoner strength and accountability figures
are compiled in an orderly manner, the confinement facility commander and his staff are able to
efficiently administer the facility in the interests of military justice. Therefore, your accurate
reporting of strength and accountability contributes to the overall efficiency of the confinement
facility in which you serve.
