In this briefing we are going to look at how we use technology in a corrections setting.As you listen to the briefing, try to identify technology that will improve the effectiveness, efficiency and safety of staff and inmates.Briefing 2: Technology in CorrectionsVideo Player

Narrator: Welcome class, this week our assignments gonna call for us to look at how we use technology in a corrections setting. And again, we’re gonna look at a real life application of how we use technology in corrections. It’s very commonplace for correctional facilities to have outside consultants come in and do an assessment, and identify potential problem areas of liability or danger to the staff or the detainees there. So, what we’re gonna do is look at one of these actual briefings and some of the specific problems that were identified. And what I want you to keep in mind when we look at these problems is, from the textbook and the things we discussed in class, what type of technology could we use to address those problem areas?So, consultants have recently identified four major issues that effect the efficiency and safety of our operations here at the correctional facility. And we’ll go over them one by one and what I’m tasking you to do is to come up with solutions that we can address these areas.The first one we looked at is prisoner transportation to and from court appearances. I know that’s one of the toughest things we have to do, we have to transport prisoners from our facility across town to court, and a lot of times it takes at least two officers per transport so we have to pull them, we have to address the staffing issue. And sometimes the courts have delays, so they’ll end up sitting and waiting, hearings will get moved and bumped around, or the prior hearing may go long. So, it was very inefficient, it’s very inefficient the way we’re doing it now with having our corrections officers physically put them in a car, drive them over to court, babysit them there until the court sees them and then bring them back and have to rebook them back into the facility. So, that was the first issue that was identified that I need you to find a solution for.The second one is contraband detection and prevention. We saw in our facility, we all know there’s no way we’re gonna completely prevent contraband from coming into a correctional facility, but what I want you to do is go out there and look at what’s available, what can help us out. Because the two biggest forms of contraband coming in here have been cell phones and small packages of drugs, so what’s available out there that can help us get ahold of this and still allow us to maintain the efficiency of our operations.The third area of concern that was identified was access control. Some of ya may have been around as long as I am where access control was a big ring of jingling keys that you ran around and stuck in the doors and slid them open and closed. And since then, we got into electronic locks and different things, but even still, there’s better ways out there. We want you to look at how can be improve getting people in and out, how we can improve the movement of the people inside, and how we can make sure that these access control methods that we’re implementing and things that we use, also increase and enhance the safety for our staff and for anybody else that’s here?And that brings us to the fourth one which is probably the most important. It’s officer and staff safety. Lately, we’ve seen an uptick with some of the staff being assaulted by inmates, there’s technology out there, there’s availability out there that can maybe lessen the impact or help us avoid some of this. So, I want you to go out there with the mindset of what can we look at that will make it safer for everybody that walks into these doors?Now, our goal is to identify technology that will improve the effectiveness, the efficiency, and the safety of our staff and inmates. So, what I want you to do is take a look at those four problem areas we talked about, and go out there and use your resources, and give me some solutions that’ll help us address those and make this a better operation.
