High-Tech Technologies for Today
Tuesday, November 24, 2009

In the midst of budget cuts and high recidivism rates, CorrectionsOne selected high-tech products on display at the American Correctional Association's Summer Conference. These wireless and web-based products are key solutions to a variety of problems the corrections industry faces today.

 

The Sentry: cell-phoned sized personal wireless pendant system is designed to protect officers and employees from violent attacks and hazards by pinpointing who it is that needs help and where they are located. Officers in need of assistance push the button at the center of the device and a voice message, providing who and where assistance is needed, is instantly broadcast over all existing facility hand-held radios. The Sentry System can be used as a replacement for live dispatchers with a facility. Little installation is required and it can be synchronized with other in-house systems such as fire alarms.

 

Einmate.com: secure email, instant messaging and video visitation system for inmates and their family and friends. Einmate cuts both physical visitations and hand-written mail increasing security by eliminating contraband and cutting costs. Einmate provides correctional facility staff the ability to completely monitor communications and determine who inmates have access to.

 

LearnKey, Inc.: digital programs provide on-demand access to award winning Post Secondary Occupational Certification Programs. Virtual classroom courses are provided to inmates online, via CD-Rom or through an institution's intranet. These re-entry programs are perfect for understaffed facilities.
