The DataWorks Plus Inmate Tracking system is a fully integrated tracking system with unlimited tracking locations so that you can know the location of an inmate at any given time. It offers instant inmate identification, streamlines head counts, and can interface to other jail, criminal history, and RMS systems.

DataWorks Plus has created numerous customized Inmate Tracking and Jail Tracking systems for agencies across the country including NY City Police Department, Hillsborough County Sheriffs Office/Jail (Tampa, FL), Philadelphia Police Department, and Essex County Jails (PA).

Your system can be customized for all of your agency's needs and integrated with JMS or other systems to eliminate duplicate data entry. Inmate tracking increases staff an inmate security by enabling you to know an inmate's location instantly. Records can be tagged with special information such as separate and apart, health information, and high risk. Our Inmate Tracking Manager will track the location, inmate number, date, in/out, reason code, and location.

DataWorks Plus' Inmate Tracking Manager includes and uses:

  • DataWorks Plus armbands, ID cards, or armbands created by other systems
  • Customized color coded armbands for medical risk, high risk, trustee, and more as defined by your agency
  • Wireless or wired handheld barcode scanners
  • Handheld terminals with barcode scanners
  • Emergency headcount reports with missing report which allows the operator to scan every inmate's armband and report on the missing person(s)
  • “Separate and Apart” ensures persons with “Separate and Apart” selected are not tracked into the same cell or other locations
  • “Classification” limits movement of specific inmates to certain locations
  • Fingerprint matching and facial recognition for verification of inmate identity
  • Search and report of tracking fields
  • Data stored with Microsoft SQL Server

Example of Inmate Tracking Manager in use at the Hillsborough County Sheriffs Office/Jail (HCSO):

The arrestee’s information is entered into the HCSO Jail Management System (JMS). The Arrestee is given a armband with a barcode representing the booking number generated by the JMS system.

  1. The JMS system sends an electronic copy of the booking data record to the DataWorks Plus Mugshot and Tracking system to eliminate duplicate data entry.
  2. The arrestee’s armband is scanned with a barcode scanner for tracking and identification purposes before capturing his fingerprint electronically with a single finger reader.
  3. Later, the arrestee is moved to the photo capture station. The arrestee’s armband and fingerprint are scanned and matched for tracking and identification purposes. The corresponding arrest record is automatically retrieved. The booking officer captures a mugshot photo that is attached to the arrest record.
  4. The arrestee is moved to the property capture station where the arrestee’s armband and fingerprint are scanned and matched for tracking and identification purposes. The corresponding arrest record is automatically retrieved. The booking officer captures an arrestee property photo that is attached to the arrest record. The arrestee signs an electronic signature pad that states he agrees that his property is complete. HCSO uses the armband and a DataWorks Plus Tracking application within the jail to track arrestee movements.
  5. At arrestee release the armband and fingerprint are scanned and matched for tracking and identification purposes.
  6. The arrestee’s data record and photo are automatically retrieved for visual identification.
