Backing you and your agency up while mitigating your liability— it did happen, it is written, and you can prove it with LogSoft©!

Solutions

Rhyan Technology Services recognized the shortcomings associated with traditional paper or simple word processor or spreadsheet style logbooks in use in jails and prisons. Such logs:

  • are inherently inaccurate and easily falsified
  • are difficult to store and retrieve
  • not electronically searchable
  • entries are frequently incomplete or illegible, and
  • no disaster recovery.

The Solution LogSoft© - The first comprehensive electronic logbook, inmate roster and RFID welfare check system that adapts to your facility and business practices.

  • An application that is more than a logbook as it facilitates compliance with Texas’ Sandra Bland Act, jail and accreditation standards, death in custody investigations, PREA grievances and response to open records requests, complaints and lawsuits.
  • LogSoft© incorporates a roster function allowing for “at a glance” views and information updated in virtual real time from the jail management system.
  • RFID system documentation of welfare checks in critical and routine areas of the facility.
  • Works on your network with existing PCs, via WiFi with full-featured ruggedized tablets or any combination of devices.

RFID Welfare Checks and Inspections

LogSoft© integrates the latest RFID technology for recording and documenting inmate welfare checks. LogSoft© will not only document your post officer’s diligence in the care, custody and control of inmates, but can document any inspection of equipment or areas by supervisory, life-safety or maintenance staff utilizing convenient and uniquely identifiable RFID tags.

LogSoft© saves the RFID entries in the background eliminating clutter from the officer’s main log screen but remain readily available with a simple search.

LofSoft’s ruggedized tablets feature the full LogSoft application maximizing the officer’s efficiency as he or she moves around the post and functions as the RFID reader. The camera feature can be enabled to capture photos for reports as well based on the facility needs.

The Problem

The current process for record keeping at the majority county jails and prisons relies on hand-written paper logbooks and forms that:

  • difficult to store
  • no disaster recovery available
  • not readily retrieved
  • not electronically searchable
  • incomplete or illegible entries

There are many recurring costs related to the current process that have a significant impact on your facility’s annual budget.

  • purchasing new paper logbooks
  • years-long storage and retrieval costs under records retention laws
  • hundreds if not thousands of work hours spent by facility staff, paralegals and attorneys researching paper records in response to grievances, open records requests and lawsuits
  • inefficient use of supervisory time reviewing logbooks for management and productivity reviews

  • Trustee bed assignment and management
