This journal discusses Correctional Information Systems as a system that produces information from systems that work manually transitioning to computeized and online system. Correctional information system is essentially generated from fact-sourced data that is developed into information. In its development, the penal information system also developed along with the times. The Correctional System Database that has been utilized by the Directorate General of Corrections is a material for researchers to see the urgency and challenges in the development of correctional information systems at this time. The complexity of the tasks and functions of correctional requires good data management. Fact or evidence as data are collected, processed to produce information for decision making/leadership policies. This research is a qualitative research with exploratory type. Data merging technique used is the study of literature, interviews with Delphi techniques with expert speakers. The results of this study indicate the fact that there is a transition to the development of correctional information systems from several aspects (based on functions). Constraints greater than human resources. The purpose of the emergence of correctional information system is the challenges faced and the problems that will arise due to the prevention of information generated from the system.

Can new information and communications technologies increase citizen participation in civic life and promote community development? Worldwide studies of community information systems demonstrate that new technologies can enhance the effectiveness of activists. However, there has been little evidence that they bring in new participants. This article argues that e-government systems can, if properly designed and implemented, involve citizens who have not previously been active in local community life, and describes an Irish pilot project which has this capacity. The success of such systems depends not only on design issues, but also on the willingness of government to respond to the resulting policy inputs by citizens.

The concept of effective use is gaining currency as a way of thinking about usability in community informatics. Broadly defined, effective use is the opportunity and capacity of a community group to leverage information communications technologies (ICTs) in order to achieve their goals. Although effective use is a worthy goal, a process for achieving effective use is not clearly defined. This paper combines the concept of scenarios from human-computer interaction (HCI) and participatory design (PD) in order to identify a design process to enhance participation and technological decision making in community information systems design projects. Our process for achieving effective use focuses first on the efficacy of scenarios as a tool to encourage and support participatory design, and second as an anchoring and adjustment heuristic. This study concludes with future research on effective use in community informatics.

Over the last two decades, there has been increasing attention to the array of information and technology (ICT) applications that can be used for creating community information systems. This paper adopts takes a design theory approach to the community-centered development and testing of an online social networking prototype. The action research project was conducted in a college setting, where an online software system as designed and eventually used by 273 students over a six week period. A follow-on survey and interviews suggested the system was promising in terms of its influence of several dimensions of social capital, though a more extensive field testing would be needed to fully explore these statistical relationships. The paper concludes with a discussion of refinements that may be useful in using a community-centered design approach aimed at creating community information systems.
