receiving second location information from a second location beacon, the second location information indicating that the second location beacon has detected the second inmate device within a second predetermined proximity of the second location beacon;

determining a second inmate location based on the second location information;

determining a proximity status corresponding to the first inmate and the second inmate based on the first location and the second location;

determining a proximity policy between the first inmate and the second inmate based on at least one of incident information associated with the first inmate and the second inmate, or affiliation information indicating that the first inmate and the second inmate belong to adversarial groups within the controlled environment;

determining a violation of the proximity policy based on the proximity status; and

sending a notification to an employee device based on the violation of the proximity policy.

8. The non-transitory computer-readable device of claim 7 , the operations further comprising determining that the employee device is associated with at least one of the first location or the second location.

9. The non-transitory computer-readable device of claim 7 , the operations further comprising:

determining a surveillance device associated with at least one of the first location or the second location;

sending an request to capture surveillance information at the at least one of the first location or the second location; and

receiving the surveillance information from the surveillance device.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable device of claim 7 , wherein the determining that the first inmate is in possession of the first device, comprises:

receiving possession information from the first device, the possession information including a timestamp and first biometric information captured by the first device;

determining that a temporal difference between a current temporal value and the timestamp is less than a predetermined threshold value; and

determining that the first biometric information matches second biometric information, the second biometric information being associated with the first inmate.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable device of claim 7 , wherein the determining that the first inmate is in possession of the first device, comprises:

determining a surveillance device associated with the first location;

sending a surveillance request to the surveillance device;

receiving surveillance information from the surveillance device; and

performing facial recognition on the surveillance information to identify the first inmate within the surveillance information.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable device of claim 7 , wherein the determining that the first inmate is in possession of the first device, comprises:

receiving possession information from the first device, the possession information including a timestamp and proof information corresponding to an inmate identification device;

determining that a temporal difference between a current temporal value and the timestamp is less than a predetermined threshold value; and

verifying the proof information.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable device of claim 7 , the operations further comprising:

determining that the first inmate is in possession of the first device; or

determining that the second inmate is in possession of the second device.

14. A location fencing system comprising:

a first inmate device associated with a first inmate, the first inmate located within a controlled environment;

a second inmate device associated with a second inmate, the second inmate located within the controlled environment;

a first controlled environment beacon associated with a first beacon location within the controlled environment;

a second controlled environment beacon associated with a second beacon location within the controlled environment; and

a location fencing server including one or more processors and/or circuits configured to:

receive first location information from the first controlled environment beacon, the first location information indicating that the first location beacon has detected the first inmate device within a first predetermined proximity of the first location beacon, the first location information indicating a first interaction with the first inmate device;

determine a first inmate location based on the first location information;

receive a second location information from the second controlled environment beacon, the second location information indicating that the second location beacon has detected the second inmate device within a second predetermined proximity of the second location beacon, the second location information indicating a second interaction with the second inmate device;

determine a second inmate location based on the second location information;

determine a proximity status corresponding to the first inmate and the second inmate based on the first inmate location and the second inmate location;
