  • Publication number: 20140278212
    Abstract: Geoposition data is gathered from financial transactions, digital communications, or digital files that have been exchanged between individuals, within a detention facility and individuals who are not subject to a detention environment. The geoposition data is visually represented allowing the geographical relationships between outside parties and individuals within detention facilities to be seen. A system and method of visually representing relationships, such as transactions, communications, associations or other commonalities, between individuals in detention environments (such as prisons or detention facilities) with one or more individuals within or external to such detention environments.

  • Publication number: 20140266686
    Abstract: An exemplary embodiment provides for a computer-implemented method that generates a time-based multivariable secure facility alarm. The method includes selecting a person for alert monitoring, alert monitor criteria pertaining to the person and alarm notification rules. When an occurrence that satisfies the alert monitor criteria are detected, an alarm notification, based upon the alarm notification rules, is generated. The method's alert monitor criteria include at least two events and a time period such that the alert monitor criteria is satisfied when the at least two events occur within the time period. Additionally, at least one event of the at least two events is a non-telephonic event.
