May - 20206GOVERNMENT CIO OUTLOOKEDITORIALBridging the Technological GapThe correctional industry has undergone significant changes over the past two decades owing to its rapid growth in prison populations, worries over public safety and concerns for reducing the cost of incarceration. Technology is making strong inroads into all aspects of modern life, and correctional space is no exception. Correctional solutions involving advanced technologies help correctional institutions in integration and secure data sharing, eliminates redundant data entry, reduces errors and costs, and keeps inmates, staff, and the public safe.Customized mobile applications, for example, can help police officers within the prison walls to supervise and monitor prisoners. This comes off as a groundbreaking solution to check whether the conduct of prisoners within the boundaries of prison is good enough to survive without troubles. Telepresence technology, such as telemedicine and video visitation, could improve health care delivery and increase educational and visitation opportunities for people under supervision in prisons. Correctional institutions also use radio frequency identification (RFID) technology, to provide information on prisoners' movements and to alert staff if there is an unusual concentration of people in a particular area.In similar ways, cameras worn over by police officers on duty can particularly help in their task of keeping records of what goes on inside the prison. This is important because these recording devices can be presented as evidence to the state lawmakers while they pass legislation addressing police-community relations. Also, advanced analytics are utilized to collect information from different prisoner records and notorious gang associations. Technology helps in improving several other aspects, such as allotment of resources within correctional agencies as an effort to reduce costs, making staff management better and reduce the chances of injuries, and collaboration of the state, tribal, local, and federal correctional agencies. This edition brings you some of the most prominent organizations that specialize in Correctional technologies and have excelled with their solution and will be significant drivers of the aforementioned trends to the mainstream.Let us know your thoughts!May 11, 2020, volume 06 - Issue 03 (ISSN 2644-2604) Published by ValleyMedia, Inc.
