Yes, that's coming for sure. I was focusing first on scraping if they were violent and then making sense of the data. There are a ton of other states too, and they are for the most part completely different. So linking to the docket was all that I could do in just the few days I have had a chance to work on it :P

Edit: The way it checks if it's violent or not is by checking the "Crime info" column. For the inmate you linked to he is D/R-1, or marked as dangerous. Occasionally I've seen murderers marked as ND, which means not dangerous. Not sure what that's about....
