A media management device receives an audio track including lyrical content. Further, the media management device performs speech recognition analysis on the audio track to determine lyrical text corresponding to the lyrical content. Additionally, the media management device determines whether the audio track contains prohibited content based on comparing the lyrical text to a blacklist of prohibited information. When the audio track does not include prohibited content, the media management device publishes the audio track to a media library accessible to devices within the controlled environment. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A device comprising: a communications interface; and one or more processors and/or circuits configured to: receive, via the communications interface, composition information and synchronization information from an inmate device; determine restricted information including a blacklist of inappropriate content; determine an authorization result based on comparing the composition information to the restricted information, the comparing including determining that a rhythmic composition of the composition information does not include at least one of a prohibited chord, a prohibited chord progression, a prohibited motif, a prohibited melody, or a prohibited harmony; generate audio/visual media based on the authorization result and the synchronization information; and publish the audio/visual media to a catalog of inmate content. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein to determine the authorization result, the one or more processors and/or circuits are configured to determine that a visual composition of the composition information does not include a prohibited image or a prohibited body movement. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein to determine the authorization result, the one or more processors and/or circuits are configured to determine that a lyrical composition of the composition information does not include at least one of a prohibited word, a prohibited phrase, a prohibited name, or prohibited subject matter. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein to determine the restricted information, the one or more processors and/or circuits are configured to determine the restricted information based on an inmate profile associated with the inmate device. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the composition information includes at least one of the rhythmic composition, a lyrical composition, or a video composition. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the synchronization information indicates a temporal relationship between at least two of a lyrical composition, the rhythmic composition, or a video composition. ### Claim 7 A method comprising: receiving, by a media management device, composition information and synchronization information from an inmate device; determining, by the media management device, restricted information including a blacklist of inappropriate content; determining, by the media management device, an authorization result based on comparing the composition information to the restricted information, the comparing including determining that a rhythmic composition of the composition information does not include at least one of a prohibited chord, a prohibited chord progression, a prohibited motif, a prohibited melody, or a prohibited harmony; generating, by the media management device, audio/visual media based on the authorization result and the synchronization information; and publishing, by the media management device, the audio/visual media to a catalog of inmate content. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The method of claim 7, wherein determining the authorization result comprises determining that a visual composition of the composition information does not include a prohibited image or a prohibited body movement. ### Claim 9 (depends on 7) The method of claim 7, wherein determining the authorization result comprises determining that a lyrical composition of the composition information does not include at least one of a prohibited word, a prohibited phrase, a prohibited name, or prohibited subject matter. ### Claim 10 (depends on 7) The method of claim 7, wherein determining the restricted information comprises determining the restricted information based on an inmate profile associated with the inmate device. ### Claim 11 (depends on 7) The method of claim 7, wherein the composition information includes at least one of the rhythmic composition, a lyrical composition, or a video composition. ### Claim 12 (depends on 7) The method of claim 7, wherein the synchronization information indicates a temporal relationship between at least two of a lyrical composition, the rhythmic composition, or a video composition. ### Claim 13 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: receiving composition information and synchronization information from an inmate device; determining restricted information including a blacklist of inappropriate content; determining an authorization result based on comparing the composition information to the restricted information, the comparing including determining that a rhythmic composition of the composition information does not include at least one of a prohibited chord, a prohibited chord progression, a prohibited motif, a prohibited melody, or a prohibited harmony; generating audio/visual media based on the authorization result and the synchronization information; and publishing the audio/visual media to a catalog of inmate content. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The non-transitory computer-readable device of claim 13, wherein determining the authorization result comprises determining that a visual composition of the composition information does not include a prohibited image or a prohibited body movement. ### Claim 15 (depends on 13) The non-transitory computer-readable device of claim 13, wherein determining the authorization result comprises determining that a lyrical composition of the composition information does not include at least one of a prohibited word, a prohibited phrase, a prohibited name, or prohibited subject matter. ### Claim 16 (depends on 13) The non-transitory computer-readable device of claim 13, wherein the composition information includes at least one of the rhythmic composition, a lyrical composition, or a video composition. ### Claim 17 (depends on 13) The non-transitory computer-readable device of claim 13, wherein the synchronization information indicates a temporal relationship between at least two of a lyrical composition, the rhythmic composition, or a video composition.
