Monitoring inmate movement with facial recognition

A method for inmate monitoring comprising:

• generating, by cameras situated about a correctional facility, pixel data including first pixels corresponding to a face of a first offender in the correctional facility and an environment around the first offender corresponding to a location within the field of view of the camera;
• and
• providing, to a server, the pixel data from the cameras through a network connection;
• providing data of a user-defined progressive validation of a scheduled or non-scheduled movement of the first offender in the correctional facility, the progressive validation including data indicating an origin of the first offender, a destination of the first offender, a path from the origin to the destination the first offender is allowed to take, and a camera of the cameras between the origin and the destination and along the path that is to provide pixel data;
• and
• receiving, from the server, an alert that, based on facial recognition and location detection analysis performed on the pixel data by the server, indicates the progressive validation associated with the first offender is violated, an offender identification associated with the first offender, a location of the first, offender in the correctional facility, and an indication of the progressive validation violated.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium including instructions that, when executed by a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:

• generating pixel data including first pixels corresponding to a face of a first offender in the correctional facility and an environment around the first offender corresponding to a location within the field of view of the camera;
• providing, to a server, the pixel data from the cameras through a network connection;
• providing data of a user-defined progressive validation of a scheduled or non-scheduled movement of the first offender in the correctional facility, the progressive validation including data indicating an origin of the first offender, a destination of the first offender, a path from the origin to the destination the first offender is allowed to take, and a camera of the cameras between the origin and the destination and along the path that is to provide pixel data;
• and
• receiving, from the server, an alert that, based on facial recognition and location detection analysis performed on the pixel data by the server, indicates the progressive validation associated with the first offender is violated, an offender identification associated with the first offender, a location of the first offender in the correctional facility, and an indication of the progressive validation violated.
