Prison Calling System (Model : TPCS 400)

Overview

Large number of Inmates lodged in a number of Indian Jails suffer a very high degree of stress and behavioral problem because of limited amount of infrequent contact with their near done and dear ones.

Turbo Prison Call system developed by Cube Software solves this problem by allowing inmates to make calls without posing a security risk to the Jail management and the government.

Prison Call system allows the inmates of a jail to make calls to any of the pre-registered and verified phone numbers stored in the system in a secure and easy manner. The system ensures that no more than allowed numbers of calls are a made in a defined period. It also records 100% of conversation which can be listened to or analyzed by the officers whenever required. The calls can be monitored by the offices in real time i.e. they can secretly listen to the live conversation from the convenience of their cabins and desktops. They can instruct the system to disconnect the call if they feel that prisoner is not following the guidelines defined by the Jail for such calls.

The system consists of :

  1. Prison Call CTI Server with interfaces for PSTN or mobile network

  2. Voice logger along with Monitoring stations

  3. Finger Print Authentication server

  4. Personalization and Registration Server

  5. Monitoring Stations for Jail Superintendents or Supervisors

  6. One or more number of Prison Call booth. Each booth will be equipped with

  • Biometric finger print scanner

  • Touch screen monitor

  • Headset/Telephone handset to make calls

CTI server can be connected to PSTN using normal Analog Telephone Lines or using Digital ISDN lines. It is also possible to connect to mobile network by using GSM/CDMA FCT Terminals.The number of CTI ports/Lines required depends on the number of Calling stations required by the Jail.

How the system works:

  • As and when a new prisoner is logged into the jail, his finger prints are scanned and stored in the system using the Personalization and Registration Server

  • The prisoner is also asked to provide two mobile / land line phone numbers on which he would like to make calls.

  • The phone numbers are verified by the police and then registered into the system along with the name and the finger prints of the prisoner.

  • Next time whenever the prisoner has to make a call, he approaches one of the phone booth. He identifies himself by putting his finger on the biometric scanner

  • The system sends the finger print details to the Finger Print Authorization Server. The Server tries to match the scanned finger print with the stored finger prints. In case of a match it displays the name of the prisoner along with the two phone numbers on which prisoner is allowed to make a call on the attached touch screen monitor.

  • Prisoner has to touch one of the numbers to proceed with a call. It has provision to redial /disconnect the number

  • The phone inside the booth does not have any keypad or telephone instrument to restrict the prisoner to make calls to only the registered numbers and prevent use of system in any manner.

  • The system records 100% of conversation and stores it along with date and time and name of the prisoner for the purpose of later retrieval if required.

  • The system also monitors the total duration of the call and warns the prisoner to disconnect the call when the time limit is about to be exhausted. If the prisoner does not disconnect the call, it disconnects the call automatically.

  • Jail authority have the provision to define number of calls, number of minutes and period after which calls can be made for each and every prisoner

  • Voice logging will be done using a high impedance network and will have no impact on ongoing conversation.

  6. One or more number of Prison Call booth. Each booth will be equipped with

  • Biometric finger print scanner

  • Touch screen monitor

  • Headset/Telephone handset to make calls

USPs

  • Increased transparency in the overall functioning of the System
  • No Manual intervention is required- Complete Automate process
  • Most Secure and easy to Handle Process
  • No more calls to undefined or new/unknown numbers
  • Provide single click DATA & Management Information Services (MIS) for Department
  • Make Department’s Telephone Billing clear and hence increase revenue

Sectors where PCS is Used

Turbo Prison Call system developed by Cube Software solves this problem by allowing inmates to make calls without posing a security risk to the Jail management and the government.

Salient Features

Fingerprint Scanner

Authorized usage through fingerprint scanner only

Pre-registered Phone Numbers

Calls allowed on a limited number of pre-registered phone numbers only.

Single Touch

Extremely easy to use even a layman could make calls with a single touch.

Reporting

Detailed reports of all the calls available in MIS

Monitoring and Control

Monitoring and control of frequency of calls

Facility to playback calls

Facility to playback all calls at any time later.

  • Unique and Unambiguous identification in fingerprint based system. Traditional IVR based system rely on a system of UserID and Password to identify a person. These can be shared easily with others or can be overheard thereby compromising the security.
  • Instruction can be displayed in the inmate's native language on Touch Screen Monitor. Implementing such a system in IVR will require vocabulary and recording in all the languages of India.
  • This solution may be used by a lay man who is not comfortable with IVR / computer based audio instructions. Inmate need not remember the Ids, Passwords or the phone numbers as Phone numbers will be displayed immediately on the screen once identity has been established via fingerprint scanning.
  • Faster – The user does not have to go through 3 or 4 levels of menu before a call can be made as in case of IVR. In contrast, FPTP requires just one touch to dial and complete the call.
  • The remaining duration of the call can be displayed to the inmate on the screen thereby helping inmate to complete the call in time.
