Description:

Modern corrections professionals face challenges that extend far beyond the prison fence. Contraband cell phones, drugs, gang coordination, insider threats, and digital communication networks have blurred the lines between the inside and outside.

Join corrections Solutions Engineer, Mark Wasson, who will cover how Penlink can equip corrections agencies to not only keep up but get ahead. We will examine how open-source intelligence (OSINT) and automation can significantly and proactively enhance safety, security, and situational awareness across all levels of corrections.

We'll discuss how the Penlink ecosystem can:

Interdict contraband by tracing smuggling networks, supply lines, and financial transactions.
Terminate contraband phones through targeted, permanent deactivation (ToS) instead of costly, unreliable jamming solutions.
Monitor STG networks inside and outside the walls to uncover hidden affiliations and prevent violence.
Analyze inmate communications—calls, emails, and video visits—with automated transcription, translation, and behavioral pattern detection.
Identify compromised staff and insider threats using OSINT across the surface, deep, and dark web.
Enhance situational awareness to anticipate threats, protect staff, and support proactive intelligence-led decision-making.
