Prisoners To Be Tracked Using RFID

Filed in archive Implementation on August 15, 2006

Prisoners Beware! If you are planning to get into some scuffle with your inmates or trying to break out of the prison then read this before taking any stupid step. In order to ascertain the position of its staff and prisoners ACT's first prison would be RFID equipped which would enable real time tracking of staff and prisoners.

Now at this prison, inmates would be fitted with an anklet or a bracelet having a unique identifier and the security guard would be wearing pagers emitting a radio signal. This would enable pin pointing of staff and prisoners through triangulation of signals that would be read by numerous readers. A combination of active and Passive tags would be used. This is not only going to reduce the pressure on prison staff engaged in continuos monitoring or watching CCTVs but also discipline the prison inmates

Certainly it would not only relieve the headache of the prison authorities but also caution the prisoners that if they entered into any illegal activity within the prison premises it could land them into soup.
