Handheld video visitation
An inmate mobile device for communicating with an outsider mobile device is provided. An identity data item, of the device, includes an inmate identifier of an inmate user of the inmate mobile device, a verified data and a restrictions repository. Also included is a media capture module configured to obtain an initial verification data from the inmate user of the inmate mobile device, and an outsider client application configured to receive the initial verification data from the media capture module, determine that the inmate verification data and the inmate verified data match, generate a connection request targeting the outsider mobile device. The connection request includes the inmate identifier of the inmate user and an outsider identifier of an outsider user of the outsider mobile device. The inmate application is also further configured to send the connection request to a server system.
1. A system comprising:
a processor;
a server system configured to execute on the processor and configured to:
generate, in response to a connection request, a connection for a communication between an inmate mobile device and an outsider mobile device after a determination that an inmate verification data and verified data match, the inmate verification data obtained from an inmate user and the verified data from the inmate user of the inmate mobile device,
generate a communication recording of the communication,
provide access to the communication recording for an administrator user via an administrator view of an inmate timeline, and
restrict access to the communication recording of the inmate mobile device via the inmate timeline,
wherein the administrator view of the inmate timeline is used by the administrator user for investigation of the inmate user and the outsider user, and
wherein the inmate timeline is used to facilitate exchanging information by the inmate user and an outsider user through a secure social network.
2. The system as recited in claim 1 , further comprising: a restrictions repository configured to prevent generation of the connection request based on pre-determined criteria.
3. The system as recited in claim 2 , wherein the pre-determined criteria includes an inmate being punitively prevented from communicating with outsiders.
4. The system as recited in claim 3 , wherein the inmate is being punitively prevented from communicating with outsiders for specific portions of a day.
5. The system as recited in claim 2 , wherein the pre-determined criteria includes the inmate attempting to communicate with individuals on a do not contact list.
6. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions for causing a computer system to perform operations, the operations comprising:
generating, in response to a connection request, a connection for a communication between an inmate mobile device and an outsider mobile device after a determination that an inmate verification data and verified data match, the inmate verification data obtained from an inmate user and the verified data from the inmate user of the inmate mobile device,
generating a communication recording of the communication,
providing access to the communication recording for an administrator user via an administrator view of an inmate timeline, and
restricting access to the communication recording of the inmate mobile device via the inmate timeline,
wherein the administrator view of the inmate timeline is used by the administrator user for investigation of the inmate user and the outsider user, and
wherein the inmate timeline is used to facilitate exchanging information by the inmate user and an outsider user through a secure social network.
7. The non-transitory computer readable medium as recited in claim 6 , the operations further comprising preventing generation of the connection request based on pre-determined criteria.
8. The non-transitory computer readable medium as recited in claim 7 , wherein the pre-determined criteria includes an inmate being punitively prevented from communicating with outsiders.
9. The non-transitory computer readable medium as recited in claim 8 , wherein the inmate is being punitively prevented from communicating with outsiders for specific portions of a day.
10. The non-transitory computer readable medium as recited in claim 7 , wherein the pre-determined criteria includes the inmate attempting to communicate with individuals on a do not contact list.
11. The non-transitory computer readable medium as recited in claim 6 , wherein the connection is flagged for follow-up investigation if a warrant check of an outsider ID indicates the possibility of outstanding warrants.
12. The system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the inmate timeline comprises a link to a video visitation archive.
13. The system as recited in claim 1 , wherein determining that an inmate verification data and verified data match comprises comparing a digital signature of a pre-recorded clip and audio of the inmate user speaking a pre-recorded phrase.
14. The non-transitory computer readable medium as recited in claim 6 , wherein the inmate timeline comprises a link to a video visitation archive.
15. The non-transitory computer readable medium as recited in claim 6 , wherein determining that an inmate verification data and verified data match comprises comparing a digital signature of a pre-recorded clip and audio of the inmate user speaking a pre-recorded phrase.
16. A method comprising:
generating, in response to a connection request, a connection for a communication between an inmate mobile device and an outsider mobile device after a determination that an inmate verification data and verified data match, the inmate verification data obtained from an inmate user and the verified data from the inmate user of the inmate mobile device,
generating a communication recording of the communication,
providing access to the communication recording for an administrator user via an administrator view of an inmate timeline, and
restricting access to the communication recording of the inmate mobile device via the inmate timeline,
wherein the administrator view of the inmate timeline is used by the administrator user for investigation of the inmate user and the outsider user, and
wherein the inmate timeline is used to facilitate exchanging information by the inmate user and an outsider user through a secure social network.
17. The method as recited in claim 16 , further comprising preventing generation of the connection request based on pre-determined criteria.
18. The method as recited in claim 17 , wherein the pre-determined criteria includes an inmate being punitively prevented from communicating with outsiders.
19. The method as recited in claim 18 , wherein the inmate is being punitively prevented from communicating with outsiders for specific portions of a day.
20. The method as recited in claim 16 , wherein determining that an inmate verification data and verified data match comprises comparing a digital signature of a pre-recorded clip and audio of the inmate user speaking a pre-recorded phrase.
