“The Indiana Department of Corrections has started implementation of the new Statewide Automated Victim Information and Notification (SAVIN) network, the result of legislation approved unanimously in 2005. The automated network will allow Indiana residents to receive real-time information about the custody status of offenders in all 92 counties. Development of the program has already begun and a system launch date is anticipated for April 2007. Information about 80 percent of Indiana offenders will be available by the end of this year, with the remainder added in 2008. In the last two years, Congress approved $17 million to fund the implementation of SAVIN systems nationwide. Indiana received $1.25 million to begin and operate the program.”
