Based on the PAI®, the PAI-CS is a computer-generated interpretive report designed to assist correctional psychologists and staff in the management and treatment of offenders, with content based on empirical data and conceptual guidance derived from multiple sources. The PAI-CS was developed to address three primary goals: (a) to identify the possible risk of institutional misconduct that the offender poses during incarceration, (b) to describe the psychosocial needs of the offender, and (c) to estimate how the offender is likely to respond to incarceration and rehabilitative programs. The PAI-CS differs from other computer-generated reports for the PAI in its exclusive focus on corrections issues. A unique Staff Management Summary is included to provide an integrated summary of the offender's PAI profile in terms of his or her specific psychological functioning and institutional management factors.
