Following a landmark 2023 federal injunction, the Arizona Department of Corrections, Rehabilitation and Reentry (ADCRR) was required to rapidly modernize operations and prove measurable improvements in inmate care, safety, and conditions.
In just months, ADCRR boosted out-of-cell time compliance from zero visibility to over 95%, digitized meal tracking, sanitation logs, and security rounds, and created court-ready audit trails across all facilities. With more than 500,000 digital records and videos captured, ADCRR now delivers verifiable proof of services, stronger staff accountability, and safer, more humane conditions for inmates—at scale.
This case study reveals how ADCRR replaced manual, paper-based processes with a real-time, RFID-powered electronic offender management system, achieving dramatic gains in transparency, accountability, and compliance.
