Abstract: Controlled-environment facility contraband wireless communication device detection uses one or more controlled-environment facility communication and/or media devices that each include a radio frequency detection mechanism configured to detect presence of electromagnetic energy emissions in one or more frequency bands reserved for wireless communication by wireless communication devices. Each controlled-environment facility communication and/or media device reports detection of the presence of electromagnetic energy emissions in one or more frequency bands reserved for wireless communication by wireless communication devices to an investigative data aggregation and analysis system. The location of the reporting device(s) and/or signal strength of the emission(s) may be used by the investigative data aggregation and analysis system to determine a location, within the controlled-environment facility, of a contraband wireless communication device emitting the electromagnetic energy emissions.

Abstract: Dynamic controlled-environment facility resident communication allocation based on call volume may be implemented using a controlled-environment facility secure communication platform. The platform monitors controlled-environment facility resident call volume, recognizes an average call volume and detects an increase in call volume above the average call volume or a decrease in call volume below the average call volume. The platform automatically initiates a controlled-environment facility resident calling restriction in response to a detected increase in call volume or automatically initiates an increase in controlled-environment facility resident calling allocation in response to a detected decrease in call volume below the average call volume.
