Indonesian prisons to use technology-based identification systems

In an interview with Channel NewsAsia, officials said this could include using electronic bracelets and fingerprint or facial recognition technology.
“This would involve quite a big investment,“ said Ilham Djaya, Director for Prison Development and Training, Correctional Directorate at the Law and Human Rights Ministry. „We can for example use CCTV cameras for automatic facial recognition when inmates enter the mosque to attend the prison’s character development programmes.“
