Abstract

Computer vision is a crucial technology for correctional officers, providing a "checks and balances" system to augment their awareness. It can help address security vulnerabilities and improve safety for both officers and inmates. By using facial recognition and biometric identification, computer vision can identify individuals and detect unauthorized presence, ensuring that only approved inmates are in designated areas. It can also be used to train and identify common objects that may be used as weapons, allowing for timely intervention. Computer vision democratizes security and provides equal protection to all stakeholders in corrections. [Extracted from the article]
