Multiple controlled-environment facility investigative data aggregation and analysis system access to and use of social media data
Multiple controlled-environment facility investigative data aggregation and analysis systems and methods capture a telephone number of a controlled-environment facility resident and/or a non-resident associated with the resident, such as by a controlled-environment facility communications management system. The captured telephone number is used to access a social media account of the resident or non-resident and information related to the resident is gathered from the accessed social media account. Gathered information is incorporated into the centralized investigative data aggregation analysis system for analysis, so as to provide investigative leads to users of the multiple controlled-environment facility investigative data aggregation and analysis system, such as via a web-based interface.
