Time accounting is a major headache for anyone who done for DOC Alaska. I did it for quite a while back in the 1980s and bit of 90s. I can say this much, this is extremely time consuming process of anal paperwork and counting down the exact dates plus reading court paperwork where the judges gives certain instructions on when or where if the inmate deserves or not deserves any prior service time or on what case. This is a Byzantine nightmare of misplaced files and papers. To make it worst, often come with court orders that contradict itself or poorly written. And the court paperwork are never timely and plea deals make some inmates being released months after their actual release dates after all the calculation are done. If the inmate is in for Probation Violation, then you have to reboot the calculations. Often only one person is handling this for hundreds of cases and when I was doing it, and this was when we were well staffed, I was still required to help out with other duties.
