What is the primary purpose of the DC14 screen?

The primary purpose of the DC14 screen is to display the overall inmate record. This screen is essential for correctional and probation officers as it consolidates important information regarding an inmate's history, including personal information, charges, sentencing, behavior records, and rehabilitation progress. Having access to a comprehensive view of an inmate's background allows officers to make informed decisions regarding their management, rehabilitation, and integration into society post-release.

While managing appointment schedules, analyzing offender behavior, and monitoring payment histories are important functions within the correctional system, these are not the main focus of the DC14 screen. The screen is specifically designed to provide a holistic overview of an inmate's record, ensuring that officers have the necessary context and details to fulfill their responsibilities effectively.
