The Alanco/TSI Prism system will be utilized to track and monitor over 2,000 inmates at the Washington, DC jail complex and to provide a state-of-the-art investigative tool and safety system for the Department of Corrections (DOC) staff numbering in excess of 450 persons.
The project is expected to be completed in 2008. The new tracking system combines Alanco's TSI Prism RFID system with Wi-Fi compatible RTLS technology from AeroScout.
Greg Oester, president of Alanco/TSI Prism, said: "We look forward to working with the Washington, DC DOC in their efforts to improve jail safety and inmate accountability. The adoption of our RFID inmate tracking technology is accelerating in the corrections market, and particularly, in the metropolitan jail segment where we are actively pursuing major projects involving additional coverage in total of over 25,000 inmates. This new award also marks our attainment of a new record high project backlog in excess of $5.4 million."
