The UK prison

The iris recognition and fingerprint have begun to be used to prevent drug abuse by inmates of prisons in the United Kingdom. The goal is to use biometrics and so ensure that the medicines reach patients penal indicated. To implement this strategy, iris patterns and fingerprints of the inmates, are stored in a database and this has been attacking the illegal trafficking and use of computerized dispensing drogas.El controlled methadone (CCMDS) is being introduced in over 140 correctional facilities in the UK and could register thousands and thousands of prisoners. Initially, the system operated at 17 institutions and their order was to prevent the drugs to an inmate came into the hands of another. And that abuse and drug trafficking are a major problem in many prisons in the world, as even the prisoners in detoxification programs often sell their medications and other inmates are stolen. In the past, these people were supplied substitutes for heroin, as a way to end dependency, but the only ways to identify them were identification numbers or documents with photos.

With so lax checks took place to curb theft presos.Para practices like these and more, it went to a Liverpool company called Human Recognition Systems (HRS), which specializes in biometric security systems and is confident that with their equipment traffic and drug abuse comes to an end, in the prisons of the British Isles. Iris recognition is preferred by HRS because it looks more distinctive points and is therefore safer. So that 80% of inmates / patients were enrolled using your iris, while 20% have done so using their fingerprints. The truth is that before an inmate is supplied a drug must first be subjected to biometric analysis and thus determines whether it is who claims to be. In addition, people who supply drugs to ensure they are consumed at the time and thus prevent patients sell or lose your dose. Finally, it is worth saying that not only in prisons in the United Kingdom uses biometrics, as in the United States and Mexico Corrections also used for various purposes.
