The Need for Better
Screening Methods
Corrections facilities face complex challenges when it comes to detecting drugs and contraband in people under their care mail.
- Risk of staff exposure to dangerous substances.
- Approaches that aren’t suited for today’s or tomorrow’s threats.
- Maintaining confidentiality when handling legal and privileged mail.
- Limited time and real resource constraints.
- High mail volume and the need to process it quickly
All of this adds up to real mail screening and security concerns.
TECHNOLOGY SHORTFALLS
Today's Mail Screening Methods Fall Short
Despite their reputation for being highly secure and “locked down,” nearly every prison, jail, and corrections facility faces an increased influx of illicit drugs and contraband that are smuggled through postal mail.
Traditional mail screening approaches and techniques, such as visual inspections, lightboxes, and X-ray imaging, are highly ineffective as drug detection devices. They don’t make enough of an impact to stem the tide and leave officers, staff, and inmates vulnerable to real risks – all while spending a vast amount of time and expense on screening.
DETECT ABNORMAL AND QUARANTINE
Detect Physical Mail Threats Like E-Mail Threats
It just makes sense to process inmate mail like e-mail. When screening e-mails for cyber threats, normal messages pass through without delay, while suspect e-mails are quarantined for further inspection. The same can be done for physical mail.
T-ray systems improve mail screening and work as drug detection devices. With 3D video and hands-on screening, this method allows operators to quickly screen and clear normal, unopened mail in a matter of seconds. MailSecur reduces screening time, protects mail screeners from exposure risk, and maintains the inmate’s privacy and confidentiality.
NEW IMAGING TECHNOLOGY
Screen an Incarcerated Person’s Mail -
Without Opening It
Regardless of the substance smuggled inside the mail, MailSecur works as a drug detection device, highlighting drug-laced papers, suboxone strips and even the smallest quantities of liquids, powders, drugs. Electronics, sharps, contraband, and other suspicious items are also detectable.
With advanced T-ray technology, corrections officials can accurately find drugs and contraband inside inmate mail. MailSecur systems are 300x more sensitive than X-rays at detecting powders and liquids and provide a live 3D video view of the concealed contents. Paper drugs, are detectable as the T-rays interact with the abnormal paper providing a clear visualization of the tampering.
