A controlled-environment facility resident communication and/or media device master control employs a controlled-environment facility vendor datacenter, a centralized investigative data aggregation and analysis system, or the like, to provide a controlled-environment facility management portal to a controlled-environment facility administrator, presenting an option to disable controlled-environment facility resident communication and/or media devices operating in a controlled-environment facility. The controlled-environment facility vendor datacenter, or the like, disables access to controlled-environment facility resident communication and/or media devices operating in the controlled-environment facility, in response to selection of the option to disable devices operating in the facility, sends a message to devices operating in the facility to disable all application programs on a respective device, and disable access to devices operating in the controlled-environment facility.

Termination switch for controlled-environment facility resident communication and/or media devices

Embodiments are directed to a database configured to store digital versions of physical or electronic items received at a controlled-environment facility. Each of the digital versions associated with a unique identifier. A digital network portal is configured to provide remote access to the database. A production system is configured to create physical or electronic copies of selected ones of the stored digital versions. The physical or electronic copy comprises an image of the original physical or electronic item and a two-dimensional barcode. The two-dimensional barcode comprises a network address for the digital network portal and the unique identifier. The two-dimensional barcode may comprise a Quick Response (QR) code.

Systems and methods for processing and certifying digital mail

In a controlled-environment facility resident-to-resident communication management system a controlled-environment facility electronic digital mail center, and/or the like, receives and creates a digital version of an original mail item received at a controlled-environment facility, and a controlled-environment facility mail database, and/or the like, that stores digital versions of original mail items received at the controlled-environment facility. A centralized controlled-environment facility investigative data aggregation and analysis platform, and/or the like, identifies a sender and/or sending address of the original mail item from the digital version of the original mail item, queries a database using identification of the sender and/or the sending address, determines whether the sender is a resident of another controlled-environment facility, and in response to a determination that the sender is a resident of another controlled-environment facility, flags the digital version of the original mail item as a controlled-environment facility resident-to-resident communication.

Management of resident to resident mail between controlled-environment facilities

A system for contraband device identification and alerting is disclosed. The system comprises a wireless signal detection system configured to identify signals from an unauthorized wireless device, and an alert module configured to generate notifications when an unauthorized wireless device is detected. The unauthorized wireless device is operating within a designated or controlled area. The designated area may overlap a controlled-environment facility and the wireless device is contraband within the controlled-environment facility. The alerting system may include a speaker, wherein the notifications comprise an audible message broadcast via the speaker. The alerting system may include one or more lights, wherein the notifications comprise illuminating the light. The notifications may also comprise one or more of a call, email, audible or visual alert, vibration and text that are sent to a designated individual. The alerting system may also shutdown, lockdown, or lockout the facility an unauthorized device is detected.
