Correctional Facility Documentation

From FOIA request management to surveillance monitoring, we're partnering with correctional facilities to modernize their documentation systems. Here's how our Ramsey County pilot is paving the way.

Correcting Correctional Facilities: How Code Four is Revolutionizing Justice System Documentation

Correctional facilities face unique documentation challenges. From managing thousands of FOIA requests to monitoring 24/7 surveillance footage, the administrative burden can overwhelm even the most efficient departments. That's why we're expanding Code Four's capabilities to serve the broader justice system.

Breaking Ground with Ramsey County

We're in the early stages of a pilot program with Ramsey County to revolutionize their FOIA request system. Our platform is being designed to automatically categorize requests, identify relevant documents and video footage, apply necessary redactions, and track response timelines. What currently takes weeks will soon be accomplished in hours.

This pilot represents more than a technological upgrade – it's a model for how correctional facilities nationwide can modernize their operations while improving transparency and accountability.

Beyond FOIA: Expanding Capabilities

While our Ramsey County pilot focuses on FOIA management, we're building capabilities that address the full spectrum of correctional facility needs:

Intelligent Surveillance Monitoring

Our AI-powered platform can automatically flag incidents, track movement patterns, and generate reports from thousands of hours of daily surveillance footage. Officers can instantly access relevant clips with searchable transcripts instead of manually reviewing hours of footage.

Incident Report Automation

Every altercation, medical emergency, or security breach requires detailed documentation. Our platform transforms raw video and audio into comprehensive incident reports, reducing report writing time by up to 75%.

Compliance and Legal Discovery

Our system maintains complete audit trails, automatically generates compliance reports, and can instantly search across years of documentation when lawsuits arise – dramatically reducing the time and cost of legal discovery.

The Technology That Makes It Possible

Code Four handles massive volumes of multi-format data – from body cameras to fixed surveillance, from handwritten logs to digital reports. Our AI understands context, not just keywords. It can distinguish routine activities from critical incidents and identify individuals across multiple camera angles.

But technology alone isn't enough. We've spent months embedded with correctional officers, understanding their workflows and pain points. This is a solution crafted in partnership with the people who use it every day.

Moving Forward Together

As we continue our pilot with Ramsey County, we're already in discussions with correctional facilities across the country. We're committed to being more than a vendor – we're a partner. That means continuous improvement based on real-world feedback and evolving our platform as needs change.

To correctional facility administrators: we understand your challenges. Whether you're drowning in FOIA requests, struggling with surveillance management, or looking for better ways to document facility operations, we're ready to help. Our success with law enforcement agencies like Pocatello PD has proven our approach works. Now we're bringing that same innovation to correctional facilities.
