Based in Brentwood, Tennessee, JailCore is a cloud-based mobile solution that helps correctional officers with inmate management. Using wireless technology, JailCore technology enables correctional facility staff to transmit data to improve operational efficiency.
Correctional staff use the technology through a handheld device that captures information related to inmate head count, location, and interactions in real time. Once the command center receives the data, command center staff monitors and reviews the information, paying close attention to past-due tasks and creating customizable reports that ensure the facility complies.
Some of the JailCore’s accomplishments include helping correctional facilities with assessing inmate health during the pandemic. At the time, correctional officers used the technology to assess inmate symptoms from a safe distance and filled out an online questionnaire. The questionnaire directed the correctional officer to quarantine the inmate based on the answers they gave. The company was integral to providing correctional staff with a way to assess a prisoner’s condition without becoming infected with the virus themselves. Correctional News Online, the Nashville Post, Fox 17, and The Tennessean featured the firm’s work during COVID-19.
In addition to its work during COVID, correctional facilities such as Franklin County Jail have integrated this technology into their operations. The technology in this instance has not only simplified inmate management, but it has also increased accountability for correctional officers.
