Prisons

Integration of Vikisense System as Biometric Support in Prison Management

Prisons were (not) intended for punishment but rather to distance criminals from society in order to enhance public safety.
While prisons deny freedom, they are prohibited from disregarding prisoner welfare. Prisons should serve as correctional platforms; allowing for the re-integration of prisoners into society as productive, law-abiding citizens; for the benefit of society in general and the prisoners in particular.
The correctional system’s generic roles:

Correctional systems are not sterile work environments, they involve a complex human system (staff, visitors and prisoners) internally and externally.
The interaction between the groups raises security and administrative challenges for the management of the prisons.
Correctional systems operate on two apparently contradictory levels, the first: safety needs (public, staff and prisoner) and the second: the need to ensure human rights and humanism in prisons.
Parts of the country’s law enforcement system, and corrections systems regularly face the following complexities:

Inmate identification verification – registration of entry into prison, transition between wings, exit to external systems (courts, medical treatments). In third world countries, there is also the entry of prisoners who have been incarcerated in the past, but return under a false identity without being able to link their records, activities and behavior patterns in the past.
Entry of visitors – controlled entry of various external service providers who help prisoners continue their criminal activities from within the prison walls.
Prisoner movement – internal, between different departments and departments and outside the prison with appearances in court, visits, etc.
Presence of prisoners on the prison grounds – a system that enables the identification of prisoners on the prison grounds and their location by location/identification on the last camera
Employee access control: secure identification of the employee and prevention of identity duplication
Vendor entry control: the ability to register a vendor remotely and perform verification upon arrival at the prison from the first time.
Visitors – identity verification, background checks and prevention of unauthorized entry.
