Automated event detection in controlled-environment areas using biometric identification

An event detection system for identifying a person and an event occurring within an area of a controlled environment facility, the system comprising:

• at least one biometric capture device disposed in the facility to capture biometrics of at least one person within the area;
• compare captured biometrics of the person to an enrolled key biometric identification feature of people of the facility to identify the person;
• identify event parameters that define the event;
• a capturing device that monitors environmental conditions within the facility, wherein the capturing device monitors audio or visual conditions;
• and
• a computing system that compares the environmental conditions to the identified parameters to identify an occurrence of the event;
• wherein the computing system associates the person identified by the biometric capture device with the event;
• and
• the computing system generating an alert upon identifying that the environmental conditions meet the event parameters, wherein the alert notifies a recipient of the occurrence of the event upon detection of the event, wherein the alert identifies the person identified by the biometric capture device.
