Here is a great example of what happens when you don't have a solid backup and recovery process for your databases and your identity information is not being enforced through an IdM application which enforces authority and ownership. Presumably, if the data weren't input by a person and it was fed from whatever system that stores the "federal hold" process then even if the database had been restored to a previous state, the state of the object would have been updated based on the policy.
This situation also speaks to a larger trend of pushing the responsibility back to the data owners. Sure, it's the prison's responsibility to manage the restoration of a failed database, but the federal system owns the "hold" process so their system would be held responsible in a mature implementation if the data was not found to be in the proper state.
Viva la IDM!
