CoreJail - Jail Management System for County Corrections

Built for County Jails

We know the environment you operate in

Your facility runs around the clock. Bookings and releases don't stop, you're managing multiple populations at the same time, and your admin staff is handling more work than they should have to. CoreJail was designed for exactly this environment.

High inmate turnover with constant bookings, releases, and transfers every single day.

Local charges, federal holds, immigration, BOP contracts, and parole violators all under one roof.

Billing for inmates held on behalf of other agencies that needs to be accurate and on time.

Ongoing coordination with courts, law enforcement, and outside agencies.

Tight budgets that demand real value, not enterprise pricing for features you'll never use.

A team that's already stretched thin and doesn't have time to fight with clunky software.

What CoreJail Handles

The full lifecycle, from booking to release

These aren't add-on modules sold separately. This is what your facility gets.

Officer processing intake at booking desk

Booking and Intake

Everything your officers need at intake in one workflow. Demographics, arrest details, medical screening, mugshots, PIN assignment, and housing. Booking numbers are generated automatically, and every offender gets a permanent ID that carries across future bookings so you always have the full picture.

Offender Records

One record per offender, no matter how many times they've been through your facility. Aliases, address history, alerts for medical or behavioral conditions, keep-separate designations, known associates, mugshots, and every identifier you track. The full history is always one click away.

Charges, Cases, and Sentencing

Track every charge from arrest through disposition. Offenses link to cases, cases track through the court system, and sentences calculate projected release dates automatically. When a case closes, the linked charges update with it. Your staff isn't chasing paperwork to keep records current.

Housing and Movement

Your facility layout is mirrored in the system, down to the building, pod, cell, and bed. Assign housing, see who's where right now, and print pod rosters for counts. Movement tracking logs every location change so you always know where every inmate is, whether they're in their cell, at court, or in medical.

Classification, Warrants, and Holds

Assign and review security classifications with automatic reminders when reviews are coming due or overdue. Track warrants and holds from other jurisdictions so you always know which inmates are being held for outside agencies, which is critical for both safety and billing.

Billing, Commissary, and Property

Generate billing reports for federal, BOP, parole, and inter-county inmates. Track commissary balances and transactions. Manage personal property collected at booking so nothing gets lost between intake and release.

Reporting

46+ reports ready on day one

You shouldn't have to build your own reports from scratch. CoreJail comes with reports covering daily operations, population management, sentencing and release projections, billing, classification, and compliance. Filter by date range, classification level, population type, or whatever your staff needs. Reports are role-based, so your officers, supervisors, and administrators each see what's relevant to them.

Your Facility, Your Way

Highly customizable without a developer

Every facility has its own way of doing things. CoreJail lets your administrators configure dropdown values, offense types, admission types, inmate groupings, and numbering schemes without calling us. New reports can be added to the system through configuration, not code deployments. The system adapts to how your facility operates, not the other way around.

AI-Powered Automation

Let your staff focus on running the facility

CoreJail is backed by BusyKeys' AI automation platform. These capabilities handle the repetitive, time-consuming work that pulls your staff away from what actually matters.

Court Work Processing

AI agents that read court documents, extract the relevant data (charges, sentencing, case updates), and enter it directly into CoreJail. Court work gets processed faster and your admin staff isn't spending hours on manual data entry.

Booking Data Validation

AI that reviews intake records as they're entered, flagging missing fields, inconsistencies, and potential duplicate offenders before they cause problems downstream. Catches errors at the front door instead of during an audit.

Custom Supervisor Alerts

AI-triggered notifications sent directly to supervisors and command staff. Classification reviews coming due, overdue releases, housing capacity thresholds, unusual booking patterns, or anything else your facility needs to stay on top of. No one has to run a report to find out.

Switching Systems?

We handle the migration

Replacing a JMS is a big deal. We've done it before. BusyKeys has proven migration tooling that moves your historical data (offenders, bookings, charges, notes, agencies, users, all of it) from your legacy system into CoreJail while preserving every relationship and audit trail. Your staff doesn't start from scratch, and your historical records come with you.

Included at No Extra Cost

A public access website for your community

Every CoreJail deployment includes a free public-facing website where families, attorneys, and the public can look up current inmates, view booking information, and check charges without calling your front desk. It reduces inbound calls, gives families the information they need on their own time, and takes work off your staff.

Integrations

Works with the vendors your facility already uses

CoreJail connects to the systems your jail depends on: commissary and food service, inmate healthcare, video visitation, inmate tracking, victim notification, and law enforcement information sharing. We're not asking you to replace everything. We plug into what you have.

Is This For You?

You might be a good fit if...

Your current JMS vendor was acquired or has stopped investing in the product.

You're running a system that was never designed for county jail workflows.

Your staff spends too much time on data entry, report assembly, and manual paperwork.

Your current system requires special software installs, plugins, or VPN access to run.

Your workload keeps growing but your staffing stays the same.

Your systems don't talk to each other and your team fills the gaps manually.
