The percentage of offenders escaped from incarceration in state or privately-operated facilities to include unit, state property

Definition Criminal Justice are included. Percentage is calculated by dividing the number of escaped offenders by the average offender
population (private and state operated facilities).

Purpose Illustrates the degree to which security is maintained.
Escapes are reported by the facilities via telephone and mainframe in accordance with Texas Department of
Data Source and Criminal Justice (TDCJ) Administrative Directive 02.15-Operations of the Emergency Action Center (EAC) and
Collection Reporting Procedures for Serious or Unusual Incidents. The information is then downloaded from the
mainframe by Executive Services.
Number of escaped offenders for the period as reported to the EAC, divided by the average population. This
Methodology/Calculation information is taken from the TDCJ Monthly Data Services Report ITS30500 from the TDCJ mainframe.
Since the number of escaped offenders is so small, one or two escaped offenders may exceed the five percent
Data Limitations allowable variance. When calculating the measure, offender population should include the same group included
by escaped offenders (private and state operated facilities).
