    摘要: A delivery system applies rules for authorizing transactions to a recipient that are individualized for each recipient. These rules may limit the number of items available for the purchaser to purchase for a recipient, the types of items available for purchase for a recipient, and the price of the items for the recipient. The system automates the delivery of the item to the recipient via a kiosk, such as a vending machine. An identification device of the vending machine identifies the recipient. The vending machine dispenses the items to the identified recipient.

    摘要: Systems and methods for automated check-in of controlled-environment facility residents, such as correctional facility inmates, employs at least one biometric capture device or mechanism disposed within a controlled-environment area configured to capture biometrics of residents of the controlled-environment facility within the controlled-environment area. A controlled-environment facility administration and management system, or the like, is configured to enroll key biometric identification biometric features of residents of the controlled-environment facility and compare captured biometrics of the residents to enrolled key biometric features of residents of the controlled-environment facility to identify the resident. Whereupon, the controlled-environment facility administration and management system, or the like, logs the presence of an identified resident as in the controlled-environment area at a time the biometrics of the identified resident were captured.

    摘要: The vending machine system automates the distribution of funds via a payment instrument. The system verifies the identity of the user to confirm the proper recipient of the funds. The system applies rules when performing transactions, including the distribution of funds. The system also activates the payment instrument if required. The system also allows a user to void a payment instrument to recapture the funds associated with the voided instrument. The system dispenses the payment instrument and tracks the funds of the payment instrument for the user.

    摘要: Systems and methods for automated event detection of controlled-environment facility residents, such as identification of potential dangers and/or issues concerning correctional facility inmates. The system and method employs at least one biometric capture device or mechanism disposed within a controlled-environment area configured to capture biometrics of residents of the controlled-environment facility within the controlled-environment area. A controlled-environment facility administration and management system, or the like, is configured to enroll key biometric identification biometric features of residents of the controlled-environment facility and compare captured biometrics of the residents to enrolled key biometric features of residents of the controlled-environment facility to identify the resident. The system also identifies parameters that define an occurrence of an event. The system monitors the conditions within the facility to detect the occurrence of such an event.

    摘要: An incoming physical mail item addressed to a resident of a controlled-environment facility is converted to a digital format mail item, which is associated with the resident and archived in an electronic database. A determination may be made whether the resident is allowed to receive the physical mail item. If so, the digital format mail item may be delivered to the resident as an electronic message If an electronic message service is not available to the resident, the digital format mail item is printed for distribution to the resident within the controlled-environment facility via a commissary provisioning system, print station, or print kiosk. Delivery via commissary provisioning system may be made at a commissary point-of-sale within the facility, or printed mail items may be included in a commissary order for the resident, and delivered to the resident at the facility with the order.

    摘要: The system detects damage and tampering of electronic devices, including tablets. A damage detector secured to the tablet provides a detection circuit. The system detects damage to the device/tablet by determining if the detection circuit is broken or otherwise interrupted. A broken or interrupted detection circuit indicates that the electronic device has been damaged or otherwise tampered with. A damage reader is installed within a base that accepts the device. The damage reader checks if the detection circuit is complete and determines if all of the RFID tags associated with a tablet can be read. If the damage reader fails to detect any of the damage detectors, the system indicates that the device/tablet is damaged.

    摘要: The correspondence system accepts input from a sender to create a correspondence that is transmitted to a recipient. The system creates a digital file of the generated correspondence from the sender's input. The system analyzes and/or further processes the digitized correspondence according to at least one rule or set of rules. The system may transform the generated correspondence to an approved correspondence, augment the generated correspondence to an approved correspondence, or trigger alerting based on the generated correspondence as a result of the correspondence analysis. The system transmits the approved correspondence to the recipient or the recipient's facility.
