Mobile device-based community corrections supervision system

1. A method for providing a mobile device-based community corrections supervision system, comprising:

receiving, by a mobile device of an enrollee and from a remote server, a first alert requiring the enrollee to perform a first check-in, wherein the enrollee is enrolled within the mobile device-based community corrections supervision system

performing, in response to the first alert, the first check-in by the enrollee on the mobile device of the enrollee;

receiving a first acknowledgement of the first alert from the enrollee;

presenting, in response to receiving the first acknowledgement, a displayed text to the enrollee via a screen on the mobile device of the enrollee;

requesting, after the presenting, the enrollee to recite the displayed text; and

recording, using a camera and a microphone on the mobile device of the enrollee, the enrollee reciting the displayed text to obtain a recordation.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

prior to recording the enrollee reciting the displayed text:

determining that a face of the enrollee is not within a camera view associated with the camera;

prompting, based on the determining, the enrollee to position the mobile device of the enrollee such that the face of the enrollee is within the camera view; and

determining, after a positioning of the mobile device of the enrollee, that the face of the enrollee is within the camera view.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

detecting, using the microphone, that no audio is being recorded;

prompting, based on the detecting, the enrollee to re-recite the displayed text; and

re-recording the enrollee re-reciting the displayed text.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

recording, using a global positioning system (GPS) receiver on the mobile device of the enrollee, a GPS location of the mobile device of the enrollee.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the GPS location is recorded between receiving the first alert and receiving a second alert requiring the enrollee to perform a second check-in.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the GPS location records the enrollee entering a disallowed geographic area.

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:

receiving, in response to the enrollee entering the disallowed geographic area, a third alert requiring the enrollee to perform a third check-in.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first acknowledgement of the first alert is not received within a pre-defined response period, wherein the first check-in is recorded as a missed check-in.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the remote server sends the first alert to the mobile device of the enrollee automatically based on a random schedule.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first alert is manually initiated by the supervision case manager via the remote server.

11. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, from the enrollee, a voluntary check-in after the first check-in is missed.

12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

prior to receiving the voluntary check-in:

receiving, from the remote server, a second alert requiring the enrollee to perform a second check-in;

receiving a second acknowledgement of the second alert from the enrollee;

determining that the second acknowledgement has not been received within a pre-defined response period; and

recording, based on the determining, the second check-in as a missed check-in.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first alert is received in response to a wireless connection signal strength of the mobile device of the enrollee falling below a threshold.

14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first alert is received in response to a battery remaining power level of the mobile device of the enrollee falling below a threshold.

15. The method of claim 1 , wherein the enrollee is enrolled in the mobile device-based community corrections supervision system for parole-purposes.

16. The method of claim 1 , wherein the enrollee is enrolled in the mobile device-based community corrections supervision system for probation-purposes.

17. The method of claim 1 , wherein the enrollee is enrolled in the mobile device-based community corrections supervision system for pre-trial purposes.

18. A non-transitory computer-readable medium, for providing a mobile device-based community corrections supervision system, comprising executable instructions operative to cause at least one processor of a mobile device of an enrollee to:

enroll the enrollee with the mobile device of the enrollee within the mobile device-based community corrections supervision system;

receive, by the mobile device of the enrollee and from a remote server, a first alert requiring the enrollee to perform a first check-in on the mobile device of the enrollee;

perform, in response to the first alert, the first check-in on the mobile device of the enrollee;

receive a first acknowledgement of the first alert from the enrollee;

present, in response to receiving the first acknowledgement, a displayed text to the enrollee via a screen on the mobile device of the enrollee;

request the enrollee to recite the displayed text; and

record, using a camera and a microphone on the mobile device of the enrollee, the enrollee reciting the displayed text to obtain a recordation.

19. An apparatus for providing a mobile device-based community corrections supervision system, comprising:

at least one processor;

at least one network interface;

a memory;

a screen;

a camera;

a microphone; and

a software application, physically stored in the memory, comprising instructions operable to cause the at least one processor to:

enroll an enrollee with a mobile device of the enrollee within the mobile device-based community corrections supervision system;

receive, by the mobile device of the enrollee using the at least one network interface and from a remote server, a first alert requiring the enrollee, to which the apparatus belongs, to perform a first check-in on the mobile device of the enrollee;

perform, in response to the first alert, the first check-in on the mobile device of the enrollee;

receive a first acknowledgement of the first alert from the enrollee;

present, in response to receiving the first acknowledgement, a displayed text to the enrollee via a screen on the mobile device of the enrollee;

request the enrollee to recite the displayed text; and

record, using a camera and a microphone on the mobile device of the enrollee, the enrollee reciting the displayed text to obtain a recordation.
