Objective.
The objective of the Intelligent Digital Guard system is to enhance safety and security in correctional facilities by transforming existing surveillance infrastructure into an intelligent network that proactively identifies and helps prevent violence and self-harm incidents. Leveraging advanced computer vision technology and fully complying with EU Commission Recommendation CM/Rec(2024)5, this system augments the capabilities of correctional staff to protect resident well-being while upholding strict privacy and ethical standards.
Our Process.
Our system integrates sophisticated AI analysis with the facility’s existing camera systems. The Intelligent Digital Guard continuously analyzes video feeds in real-time, detecting patterns and behaviors that may indicate imminent violence or elevated self-harm risk. By maintaining constant vigilance across all cameras simultaneously and providing early warning of potential incidents, the system enables swift response while preserving the crucial human element in all decision-making processes.
Current Scenario.
Currently, correctional facilities rely heavily on traditional surveillance systems that depend entirely on human monitoring. This approach has limitations in terms of coverage, consistency, and the ability to proactively identify potential incidents. Staff members face challenges in maintaining constant vigilance across multiple camera feeds while attending to other duties. Incidents of violence and self-harm often escalate quickly, leaving limited time for intervention. Existing systems also struggle to balance safety monitoring with privacy and ethical concerns.

Proposed Transformation
Proposed Transformation.
The implementation of the Intelligent Digital Guard will transform correctional facility safety by providing an always-alert, AI-powered assistant to staff. The system will:
1
Comprehensive Monitoring
- Continuously analyze video feeds from all facility cameras in real-time.
- Detect aggressive behaviors, unusual group dynamics, and self-harm indicators.
- Provide early warning of potential incidents for swift intervention.
2
Privacy-Preserving Technology
- Utilize advanced computer vision techniques that detect concerning behaviors without compromising privacy.
- Automatically blur faces and sensitive areas while retaining necessary detail for analysis.
- Ensure strict compliance with data protection requirements.
3
Rapid Response Enablement
- Immediately notify relevant staff of potential risks through preferred communication channels.
- Provide location information and nature of concern for informed decision-making.
- Facilitate coordinated, swift response to mitigate incidents.
4
Intelligent Insights
- Analyze historical patterns to identify high-risk areas and times.
- Enable data-driven resource allocation and preventive measures.
- Continuously improve accuracy through verified incident data integration.
5
Ethical Compliance
- Operate under strict guidelines prioritizing human rights and dignity.
- Implement comprehensive privacy protections in accordance with EU recommendations.
- Maintain transparency through alert and action logging, with clear human oversight protocols.
6
Staff Empowerment
- Augment staff capabilities with actionable, real-time insights.
- Provide user-friendly interfaces for alert verification and response coordination.
- Deliver comprehensive training on system capabilities, limitations, and ethical use.
By integrating these transformative capabilities, the Intelligent Digital Guard system will create a safer environment for both residents and staff while fully respecting privacy and human rights. This innovative approach sets a new standard for AI-assisted safety in correctional facilities, demonstrating the potential for advanced technology to enhance security and well-being in an ethically responsible manner.
