reduced. The Supreme Court, however, ruled that they could not do that and re-integrating these two populations has led to increased violence (James, 2009). Many prisons are now using different
technologies in their efforts to reduce violence. One technology being used is RFID (radio-frequency identification tracking) (Legal and Criminal Justice, 2011). This is being used successfully in many venues,
such as hospitals and warehouses. Each inmate wears their own electronic RFID bracelet which tracks their movements anywhere on the grounds. If the inmate goes into a prohibited area, the
RFID will set off an alarm (Legal and Criminal Justice, 2011). RFID helps officials count prisoners more quickly and it would also allow officers to react more quickly with
an attempted escape. RFID will tell officers if there is a congregation of people in an area that is too large. Movement information is stored in computers and can
be used for analysis to determine movement patterns (Legal and Criminal Justice, 2011). RFID is being tested in the Washington, D.C. Department of Corrections. They are working with
RAND corporation (Bulman, 2009). It will be an empirical study that will reveal before and after incidents of violence. Prisons have a challenge preventing different items from being smuggled into
the prison. A prisoner in a Baltimore City jail used a cell phone to order a murder. He was paying to have a witness to his crime murdered (Bulman, 2009).
