Simpson County approves jail commissary software, inmate-records SaaS and pilots Xandar Kardian monitoring
Loading...
Summary
The fiscal court approved a commissary/trust-accounting agreement, a one-year trial Software-as-a-Service agreement for inmate records with Autonomy Today LLC, and heard Jailer Vaughn describe a pilot of Xandar Kardian radar sensors in six detox/medical cells costing $3,000 per device paid from commissary funds.
Simpson County Fiscal Court on Feb. 7 approved three items related to detention operations: the jail’s Combined Public Communications, LLC Inmate Telecommunications General Service Agreement Addendum C (which provides commissary and trust-accounting software and is to be commissary-funded); a Software-as-a-Service agreement with Autonomy Today LLC for inmate record keeping (no charge the first year, with subsequent years $1,000 less than the county’s current JailCore contract); and authorization for Judge Executive Mason Bames to sign those agreements.
Jailer Vaughn reported the jail will pilot Xandar Kardian radar-based sensors in six detox and medical cells. The sensors monitor inmate presence and some vital signs and can alert control-room monitors to a medical emergency. The equipment cost is $3,000 per device; Jailer Vaughn said the initial devices and any future charges or expansion will be paid from commissary funds.
The minutes do not record vendor-selection details for the commissary software beyond the named vendors, nor do they include contract start dates or long-term cost projections beyond the one-year Autonomy Today trial comparison to JailCore.
