IDSoftware announces fingerprint identification tool for positive identification of inmates prior to release

Monday, January 8, 2007 in News

In an effort to prevent prison inmates from being wrongly released, ID management company IDSoftware has released its PrintSearch module that is an extension to current solutions in use by many jails. The product scans and matches up to 10 prints of an inmate pending release to ensure the right inmate is identified and that there are no additional arrest warrants for the inmate.


Fort Myers, FL– IDSoftware (www.idsoftware.us), a biometric identification management company, announced the release of its latest PrintSearch module for positive identification for inmate release. ID Software has historically focused on biometric identification upon inmate intake, but an increase in incidents across the nation of wrongly released inmates has heightened awareness of the need for a rapid, positive identification capability for the release process. The PrintSearch module for inmate release will scan and match up to 10 prints of an inmate pending release, and ensure the correct inmate is identified and released with no further pending wants or warrants.

IDSoftware is delivering the PrintSearch module for inmate release as an extension to the current solution being used by many jails and prisons for inmate intake and booking. The module can also be used as a stand-alone solution for inmate release.

Jim Strey, President IDSoftware states, “The inmate release module is a very natural extension of our current inmate intake and booking capabilities. Our customers are consistently talking to us about challenges of releasing the correct inmate at the correct time with the correct credentials. Our unique approach of scanning and matching up to all 10 prints of an inmate pending release will deliver great value to our customers and to all communities. And, we can perform this positive identification at release in a matter seconds.”
