Inmate release verification

A non-transitory computer-readable medium, with instructions stored thereon, which when executed by a computer processor cause a computing device to perform data processing actions for inmate release verification, the data processing actions comprising:

• generating a facial image of a person that is to be released from a detention facility;
• retrieving, by a barcode worn by the person or a radio frequency identifier (RFID) tag worn by the person, a data identifier that uniquely identifies the person;
• retrieving, from an inmate database based on the data identifier of the person, a release date of the person from the detention facility;
• processing the facial image of the person in view of facial image data of the person to determine whether the facial image matches the facial image data of the person, the facial image data retrieved based on the data identifier of the person;
• when the received facial image and the retrieved facial image data of the person do not match, outputting an indicator of a failed release identity verification due to a failed match, the failed release identity verification indicating that the person is not to be released from the detention facility;
• and
• when the received facial image and the retrieved facial image data of the person match, outputting an indicator of a match and a successful release identity verification indicating that the person is to be released from the detention facility.

A computing device comprising:

• a computer processor;
• a digital camera;
• and
• a memory storing instructions executable by the computer processor to perform data processing activities comprising:
• receiving a facial image from the digital camera;
• receiving, by a barcode worn by a person or a radio frequency identifier (RFID) tag worn by the person, a data identifier of the person;
• retrieving, from an inmate database based on the data identifier of the person, a release date of the person from a detention facility;
• processing the received facial image to identify at least one facial landmark therein;
• retrieving a first set of person identifying data based on the identified facial landmarks and a second set of person identifying data based on the data identifier of the person;
• when the first and second sets of person identifying data do not match, outputting an indicator of a failed release identity verification due to a failed match, the failed release identity verification indicating that the person is not to be released from the detention facility;
• and
• when the first and second sets of person identifying data match, outputting an indicator of a match and a successful release identity verification indicating that the person is to be released from the detention facility.
