Goal and impact
To prepare notifications in the best possible way, algorithms are used. The purpose of the algorithm is to automatically determine who should be notified when, based on laws and regulations, of the times when a person's prison sentence (known as detention) begins, ends and when an inmate goes on leave.
Considerations
By using an algorithm, the number of manual operations can be reduced. This has the advantage of reducing the likelihood of human error or delay in sending notifications.
Human intervention
Notifications to be sent to victims are first delivered to the Detention Information Point (IDV), which is part of the Public Prosecution Service (OM). The OM must carefully assess whether the victim actually needs to be informed.For the Administrative Information Facility for Detainees (BIJ), a Justid staff member always assesses which mayor needs to be informed.For reintegration of a detainee into society, notifications are automatically delivered to municipalities and the Child Protection Board on the basis of the last known address in the Basic Registration of Persons (BRP) and to probation authorities.
Risk management
The rules the algorithm follows are developed in cooperation with the Department of Correctional Institutions (DJI) as the client. The rules are extensively tested and documented by Injus staff and eventually the rules used by the algorithm are also tested by end-users. The end-user group consists of a number of practical experts.
Legal basis
The legal basis for data exchange for the purpose of reintegration is Article 18a of the Custodial Institutions Act and Article 20d of the Penitentiary Measure. The legal basis for the exchange of data for the purpose of Administrative Information on Probationers (BIJ) is based on Section 18a of the Penitentiary Principles Act and Section 11a of the Judicial and Criminal Records Decree.
The legal basis for informing victims about the course of detention is formed by Section 51ac of the Code of Criminal Procedure and the Regulations on the Provision of Case Information to Victims.
Operations
Data
If you are (were) detained for a criminal case that falls into the category that requires the municipality and/or the victim to be informed at the start/end of detention or leave, data on your detention, in certain cases combined with information from the criminal case, will be processed by the algorithm.
Technical design
The algorithm follows the rules given to it by employees of Injus. This is also known as a rule-based algorithm. Through these rules, the algorithm determines when a victim, mayor or other party should be informed based on detention data, in certain cases combined with information from the criminal case.

- The Intelligence Agency receives lists of people with social assistance benefits from municipalities and compares these with data from sources such as UWV, DUO and the Tax and Customs Administration. If there is an overlap (concurrence) that could affect the benefit, IB sends a message to the municipalities. The municipality can then carry out further checks.Last change on 16th of July 2024, at 13:03 (CET) | Publication Standard 1.0
