Introduction This proposed design for a juvenile detention centre will uphold the necessity of prisoner tracking and the security of the detention centre guards through the use of embedded RFID technology. The IdentChip (the name of the proposed chip), a small innocuous device no bigger than a grain of rice, can be surgically inserted within the skin of a juvenile prisoner enabling a safe and efficient way for detention centre staff to access the personal history of juveniles as well as track their movements within the jail without having to track them via CCTV cameras and guards at every gate (Lavigne, Halberstadt & Parthasarathy, 2009). The RFID system can also limit the ability of juveniles to enter particular areas of the detention centre by keying the RFID frequency emitted by the chips to the door locks which helps to minimize instances where juveniles inadvertently get a hold of the keys to a restricted area of the prison (LaVigne et al., 2009). This report assumes that RFID tracking will lead to a more secure way of limiting the freedom of juvenile prisoners, thus lessening the need for more personnel at a detention facility. Functionality Each Identchip must link to a complete record of the prisoner via the serial number on the chip which has their block number, cell assignment, list of prior offenses, level of danger, prior escape attempts and time till release. This is for guards to be able to immediately identify prisoners on sight without wasting time by checking on the prison’s information database. The Identchip must have its own unique identifying digital signature to allow handheld and wall-mounted scanners to immediately distinguish prisoners. Such a feature is important given the need to distinguish who is who through the scanning process. How is the Identchip system more efficient than the present-day processes utilized in juvenile detention centres? The Identchip will be utilized to replace the current need to have multiple guards in various entrances and exits to control the flow of prisoners from one area of the prison to another. Utilizing automatic doors that have RFID readers on them, this will limit the ability of prisoners to gain access to other parts of the prison without the appropriate RFID code (Lavigne et al., 2009). Unauthorized personnel without the correct RFID registration will be barred from entering specific sections unless an override is utilized within the master control room of the prison. Access to cells and washrooms within the prison system will similarly be restricted based on the RFID registration of a prisoner with specific time slots being allotted for particular batch numbers. If a person does not belong to a batch that is supposed to use a facility at a particular time, they will not be allowed to enter (Lavigne et al., 2009). Prisoners will be informed why they are prevented from utilizing facilities at a particular time (i.e., via the Identchip system). They will be informed that they are being monitored and that the monitoring personnel is also the ones that limit access.
