System Provides Uncompromised Security at Correctional Facility
A robust, well-designed security system should function reliably, providing users with the protection and features they need without having to think about it. If problems arise and users spend more time troubleshooting or working around the system, security can be compromised and the organization’s ability to function can be hindered. Nowhere is this more critical than in a prison environment, where safety and security of inmates and staff is paramount, as they rely on the system for nearly every aspect of daily operations, from security and movement of inmates to basic communication throughout the facility.
Butte County Jail is a correctional facility located in Oroville, Calif. that houses up to 614 inmates and is operated by a staff of 135. The existing security system at the jail was plagued with serious problems and would crash on a regular basis. “It wasn’t uncommon for me to come in at 2:00 or 3:00 AM,” said Mike Thompson, I.S. Analyst Senior/I.S.R. of the Butte County Sheriff’s office.
