ABSTRACT
The article explores the prison management information system in Uganda prisons. The article revealed that the management of prisons in Uganda is still poor due to the manual structure of the processes. However, the system has the scope to be developed as a distributed application where each implementation of PMS in different prisons can be connected and communicate with each other worldwide. In such a scenario a person sitting in Uganda can access the data of different prisons in and outside Uganda. This will make the whole system highly centralized as well as well connected. Most importantly, it will provide the end user who has the necessary security clearance a single portal where he/she can access prison records from all major prisons in Uganda where the PMS would be deployed thus making it a truly practical deployable application that can be used in prisons all over Uganda and other countries.
