Promis

From 9/11 Encyclopedia:

PROMIS was originally designed by Herb Graham (Graphic Computer Solutions, Inc.) and Michael Riconosciuto. Graham, former Executive Director of the National Center for Prosecution Management (NCPM) , developed PROMIS (Prosecutor's Management Information System) for the National District Attorneys Association (NDAA) as a criminal information system for the U.S. Department of Justice.

PROMIS architect Michael Riconosciuto about the software . "...the PROMIS software has properties and applications to military and industrial skullduggery that surpass the threats it seems to pose to hackers, conspiracy students, and the other riffraff who populate the cybersphere..." disinfo.com/pages/article/id905/pg2/ 

PROMIS was later renamed.
One of the new names had been LIONS: ACRONYM: PROMIS 
(now LIONS) ORIGINATOR: Department/Agency Name: U.S. Department of Justice Major Organization Subdivision: United States Attorneys Offices Minor Organization Subdivision: Executive Office for United States Attorneys Name of Unit: Case Management, Washington DC ABSTRACT: The LIONS system is a database with on-line capabilities which permits the USAOs and EOUSA to compile, maintain and track information relating to defendants, crimes, criminal charges, court events, and witnesses. PURPOSE: LIONS was established and is maintained to track cases and matters which are presented to and/or pursued by the USAOs. LIONS serves as a day to day management tool as well as a litigation aid and a review tool. 

ACCESS CONSTRAINTS: The magnetic tapes and discs which LIONS information is stored on are maintained in a secure vault at the Metropolitan Police Department Computer Center. In addition to the physical security safeguards, there is a twenty four hour patrol. Source: usdoj.gov/usao/reading_room/promislions.html

As Citizen.org wrote in April 2001, "since the introduction of PROMIS, each United States Attorneys' office has undergone subsequent generations of new case management systems. Thus, in the Western District of Kentucky it appears that between 1990 and the present, that office has used at least three completely different case management systems with several different hardware or network computer systems: the PCUSACTS case management system on standalone PCs until 1991; the TALONS system on EAGLE network computer system from 1991 to November 1996; the TALONS system on the Phoenix network from November 1996 to July 1997; and, since July 1997, the LIONS system (with all open cases and three years of historical data from the TALONS systems converted on to LIONS). (Declaration of Carol Uebelhoer). 

No explanation is provided for whether the PCUSACTS system was converted to the subsequent TALONS systems, and then reconverted to LIONS, or whether it remains on an on-line system or has otherwise been archived. The only explanation provided about Kentucky's USACTS records is that the extract tapes for that system have been destroyed. " Citizen.org refered these destructions to Carol Uebelhoer, described as "shredding of records in 1997"

The destruction in two district offices -- the Western District of Kentucky and the District of Minnesota is described in a lawsuit against Janet Reno in 2002, reported at Citizen.org on November 23rd, 2002: "The Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) obtained evidence from affidavits submitted by employees of these two offices that electronic records "were shredded during the normal course of business" and that there is no adequate records maintenance program to safeguard against further loss or destruction. See Declaration of Carol Uebelhoer (Systems Manager for the computerized case management system in the Western District of Kentucky) and Declaration of Verlyn Bryant."
