The Prison Technology and Infrastructure Conference is an event that brings together professionals, experts and stakeholders from the prison system to discuss and share ideas about the role of technology in the management and operation of correctional institutions. The event covered a variety of topics, from implementing security and monitoring systems to education and rehabilitation programs.
Technologies play an increasingly important role in the prison environment, helping to improve prison security, facilitate communication between inmates and their families, and even provide education and job training opportunities for inmates. Therefore, the conference often covers topics such as the use of video surveillance systems, biometric access control, prisoner data management, online education programs and rehabilitation tools.
