INMATE TRACKING SYSTEM PROJECT
ENVISAGED FUNCTIONALITY OPERATION Continued

• Personal Tracking Devices actively transmit
  prisoners data and location to Transceiver
  Units.
• Transceiver Units collect and communicate data to
  control system.
• Control system depicts graphical representation
  of facility.
• Prisoner query - produces view of exact location,
  as well as prisoners digital data, photo image,
  fingerprints, etc.
• Mobile Transceiver Units store data collected
  from Personal Tracking Device, for later download
  to control system.
• Control system interoperates with Admission,
  Detention Release system (AR), retrieving
  prisoner details, and updating records,
  reporting, etc.
• System alerts on events of tampering and
  unauthorised movements.
• System records history of all Personal Tracking
  Devices and identifies last known status of
  failure

INMATE TRACKING SYSTEM PROJECT
IMPLEMENTATION PLAN PILOT SITES

• Pilot implementation must begin in JANUARY 2002
• The prisons listed below have been identified as
  the pilot sites for the Inmate Tracking System
  project
• GAUTENG PROVINCE
• Johannesburg Medium A Prison.
• KWAZULU NATAL PROVINCE
• Durban Medium A Prison.
• The pilot project will result in technologies /
  systems being evaluated at the pilot sites.
• Evaluation will determine the possible
  application of an Inmate Tracking System
  throughout the country.
