Systems and methods for location fencing within a controlled environment

A non-transitory computer-readable device having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by at least one computing device, causes the at least one computing device to perform operations comprising:

• assigning a first device to a first inmate;
• assigning a second device to a second inmate;
• receiving first location information from a first location beacon device, the first location information indicating that the first location beacon has detected the first inmate device within a first predetermined proximity of the first location beacon;
• determining a first inmate location based on the first location information;
• receiving second location information from a second location beacon, the second location information indicating that the second location beacon has detected the second inmate device within a second predetermined proximity of the second location beacon;
• determining a second inmate location based on the second location information;
• determining a proximity status corresponding to the first inmate and the second inmate based on the first location and the second location;
• determining a proximity policy between the first inmate and the second inmate based on at least one of incident information associated with the first inmate and the second inmate, or affiliation information indicating that the first inmate and the second inmate belong to adversarial groups within the controlled environment;
• determining a violation of the proximity policy based on the proximity status;
• and
• sending a notification to an employee device based on the violation of the proximity policy.

A location fencing system comprising:

• a first inmate device associated with a first inmate, the first inmate located within a controlled environment;
• a second inmate device associated with a second inmate, the second inmate located within the controlled environment;
• a first controlled environment beacon associated with a first beacon location within the controlled environment;
• a second controlled environment beacon associated with a second beacon location within the controlled environment;
• and
• a location fencing server including one or more processors and/or circuits configured to:
• receive first location information from the first controlled environment beacon, the first location information indicating that the first location beacon has detected the first inmate device within a first predetermined proximity of the first location beacon, the first location information indicating a first interaction with the first inmate device;
• determine a first inmate location based on the first location information;
• receive a second location information from the second controlled environment beacon, the second location information indicating that the second location beacon has detected the second inmate device within a second predetermined proximity of the second location beacon, the second location information indicating a second interaction with the second inmate device;
• determine a second inmate location based on the second location information;
• determine a proximity status corresponding to the first inmate and the second inmate based on the first inmate location and the second inmate location;
• determine a proximity policy between the first inmate and the second inmate based on at least one of incident information associated with the first inmate and the second inmate or affiliation information indicating that the first inmate and the second inmate belong to adversarial groups within the controlled environment;
• determine that the first inmate and the second inmate are in violation of the proximity policy based on the proximity status;
• and
• transmit an employee notification to an employee device, the employee notification indicating that the first inmate and the second inmate are in violation of the proximity policy.
