THE PROBLEM
Identity theft by inmates and visitors
In most prisons, there is no reliable inmate census or identification system. Some inmates may claim to be someone else, and there is no way to verify it, especially in overcrowded and understaffed facilities.
The same applies to the management of visitor entry and exit. In general, visitors are identified through a visual inspection of their identity documents, with no reliable record of who has entered and who is supposed to leave.
All of this makes it possible for some prisoners to leave in place of others, including in place of visitors.
CONSEQUENCES OF INSECURE IDENTIFICATION IN PRISONS
Escapes and Impersonations
Inmates impersonate other inmates or visitors in order to leave the facility, sometimes resorting to physical violence.
Unauthorized visits
Individuals without permission gain access to visit inmates, compromising security.
Compromised Visitor Traceability
There is no accurate information about who has visited each inmate, as a visitor may use different identities to visit multiple facilities.
Staff Infiltration
Unauthorized individuals enter posing as employees or suppliers, gaining access to sensitive areas that they can harm or manipulate.
Visitor Congestion
Long queues and waiting times for visitors to enter the facility due to the slow identification and registration process.
Unreliable Roll Calls
Officers simply ask for inmates’ names to confirm their presence.
THE SOLUTION
Secure biometric identification with Verázial ID
Verázial ID uses the most advanced fingerprint, palm print, iris, and facial recognition technologies to accurately identify inmates, visitors, employees, and suppliers.
The correctional facility will have a reliable registry of all inmates with automatic identity verification before each release. Likewise, the biometric data of visitors, employees, and vendors will be used to identify them each time they enter and exit the facility. This will eliminate any possibility of identity theft.
No more escapes through identity impersonation
Verázial ID ensures control over who enters and exits the facility.
Security for visitors, staff and suppliers
Their identities cannot be impersonated.
Supports criminal investigations
Knowing the true identity of visitors helps predict behaviour and identify links between inmates and their visits.
Public Security Intelligence
Provides reliable, real-time information that can be shared with national and international security agencies.
Faster Entry Flows
Queues and waiting times are reduced through fast and thorough entry and exit checks.
