Who is where
Roster, housing, and current location stay visible instead of living in separate logs.
Jail Management
Run the floor from one live custody record.
Booking starts the record. Classification, housing, checks, movement, medication, and release build on it.
Different roles see the custody information they need for the work in front of them.
Thin Line Jail Management is custody software for booking, housing, checks, medication, movement, and release.

A custody record you can keep working from.
What is due
Checks, medication, alerts, and overdue work stay on the same floor view.
History stays intact
Moves, observations, medication, and notes remain on the custody record as staff work.
Ready for release
Release and transfer start from the same person, housing, property, and authority. Nobody starts over.
What's in it
What Jail Management manages.
Booking
Identity, charges, property, intake details, classification, and acceptance into custody.
Housing & movement
Cells, passes, transfers, and current location.
Checks & notes
Observations, restrictions, alerts, and day-to-day activity.
Medication
Due medication, administration, and history on the same person.
Release & reporting
Release authority, property return, population, and history from the custody record the floor already uses.
The working floor
One booking. Everything that happens next.
The floor view reflects the placement. Checks, medication, movement, and notes build the custody history.
Intake
The custody event starts with identity and charges.
Staff capture the person, charges, and intake details before the facility accepts custody — and when RMS is connected, arrest context can carry in so booking does not start from a blank form.
- Identity and person record at intake
- Charges on the booking; arrest context when RMS is connected
- Intake details stay attached to the custody event
Booking
Accept into custody from a complete booking.
Booking, property, intake questions, and acceptance into custody live on one event. The Command Center takes over once the person is in custody.
- Booking through Accept into Custody
- Property and intake details on the same event
- A custody episode the floor can work from
Classification
Restrictions and flags stay visible on the floor.
Classification, suicide watch, escape risk, medical flags, and other restrictions remain part of the live custody picture — not a separate file.
- Classification on the custody event
- Critical flags visible in Command Center
- Restrictions travel with housing and movement
Command Center
The live board for who is in custody.
Roster, due work, medications, passes, and person detail sit in one operational view so staff can run the floor without reconstructing status from logs.
- Population counts and due / overdue work
- Roster and selected custody detail together
- Add booking, start a pass, and act from the same board
Housing
Know where each person is right now.
Housing assignments, onsite / offsite status, and current location stay visible so staff are not asking the floor who is in which cell.
- Facility layout and cell occupancy
- Onsite, unassigned, and holding at a glance
- Housing stays attached to the custody episode
Movements & Passes
Moves leave a trail.
Cell changes, passes, and transfers update location while remaining part of the custody history — so movement is both live status and record.
- Start and track passes from Command Center
- Cell changes update current location
- Movement history stays on the custody event
Checks & Observations
Due work is visible before it is overdue.
Cell checks and observations appear as operational work on the board. Completing them builds the observation history automatically.
- Cell checks and rounds on the board
- Due now and overdue status in one place
- Completed checks remain on the custody record
Medications
Due meds stay on the same floor picture.
Medication logging, due activity, and administration history sit with the person in custody so care tracking is part of daily operations — not a side spreadsheet.
- Medication due and overdue on Command Center
- Administration history on the custody detail
- Add and edit medications from the same record
Alerts
What requires attention is on the board.
Alerts, open items, and critical flags remain visible with the person and the facility overview so supervisors are not chasing paper.
- Critical flags on the custody detail
- Open items such as meds due and charges
- Facility-level due and overdue counts
Release & Transfer
Custody ends with the full history still attached.
Release authority, property return, offsite transfer, and status changes close the custody event without discarding housing, activity, or who did what.
- Release from the same custody episode
- Offsite transfer with current location status
- Property and authority history remain on the record
Reports
Facility reporting from the operational record.
Population, activity, and audit history come from the same custody data staff used on the floor — not a disconnected reporting system.
- Facility reports from custody activity
- Population and location history
- Audit trail of users, timestamps, and actions
Same record
Same record. Different view of the work.
Booking doesn't need the supervisor's floor view, and the floor doesn't need booking's form. Each role sees the same custody record from the work they do.
Booking
Sees what it needs to accept the person into custody.
Floor staff
See who is where and what is due.
Supervisors
See what still needs attention.
Administration
Sees facility activity from the same record.
Records
Sees the custody history when the event closes.

Where the work continues
Complete on its own. Connected by design.
Jail Management doesn't depend on another Thin Line product to run the floor. But when a facility also uses RMS or Court, booking and release don't have to start from a blank form.
RMS
The person, charges, and arrest information can continue into booking when RMS is connected.
Court Management
Warrants, bonds, court dates, and release-related authority can inform custody when Court is connected.
Law Enforcement
Custody status and release can remain available to authorized users where policy allows.

Your history belongs to your agency.
Moving to Thin Line shouldn't mean starting over. We work with your existing custody records, map what can come across, and validate the conversion with your facility before go-live.
