Correctional security technology must be leveraged during pandemic crisis
Security Info Watch
The COVID-19 pandemic has spread throughout facilities in the U.S. jail and prison system. Inmates, staff and visitors operating in close quarters mean there is little to no ability to follow certain safety procedures like social distancing. Jails and prisons, however, typically have robust security systems in place to protect them from other threats. Video monitoring and access control systems already help create safe and secure environments for inmates, staff and visitors. With a few additional steps, integrated security systems can help mitigate health risks as well.
