This paper addresses the basics of the use of biometrics in prison. It begins with a history of access control and the introduction of biometrics. It then addresses the current state of biometrics and how it is changing the way prisons are operated. Putting biometric systems into operation is the third section of the paper. It concludes with a look of the future of biometrics and how prisons maybe further changed with advancements in technology. The technological side of biometrics in prison has largely been proven successful. If there has been a failure in biometrics, it has typically come in the planning, testing, and installation of these systems. To ensure proper operation, and more importantly to ensure staff acceptance, proper planning and testing must go into implementing a biometric system. If a biometric system is properly designed, tested, and put into operation (along with proper training of staff), it can be expected to have a strong and positive influence on the efficiency and effectiveness of prison operations. The immediate future of security and access control in prisons appears to be inextricably linked with biometrics. Biometric tags are getting smaller, able to hold more information, and better able to be active rather than passive systems. This may mean that biometric systems may be placed in the body rather than on wristbands, further reducing the ability to tamper with the tags. Increases in facial and thumbprint recognition will likely increase the speed at which biometric systems will be able to process people at access point. We are very near a point where the whereabouts and access control of prisoners can be monitored and controlled 25 hours a day, seven days a week. Future advancements will strengthen that ability, and will add to the number of activities that can be made more efficient and more effective using biometrics.
Abstract
This paper addresses the basics of the use of biometrics in prison. It begins with a history of access control and the introduction of biometrics. It then addresses the current state of biometrics and how it is changing the way prisons are operated. Putting biometric systems into operation is the third section of the paper. It concludes with a look of the future of biometrics and how prisons maybe further changed with advancements in technology. The technological side of biometrics in prison has largely been proven successful. If there has been a failure in biometrics, it has typically come in the planning, testing, and installation of these systems. To ensure proper operation, and more importantly to ensure staff acceptance, proper planning and testing must go into implementing a biometric system. If a biometric system is properly designed, tested, and put into operation (along with proper training of staff), it can be expected to have a strong and positive influence on the efficiency and effectiveness of prison operations. The immediate future of security and access control in prisons appears to be inextricably linked with biometrics. Biometric tags are getting smaller, able to hold more information, and better able to be active rather than passive systems. This may mean that biometric systems may be placed in the body rather than on wristbands, further reducing the ability to tamper with the tags.
