Oi! Wait till Fingers gets to hear about this – ‘e won’t be able to keep his dabs off it: Identix Inc, Sunnyvale, California has won an order for its Prison Access System from the State of Maryland; the cunning little device, based on an IBM PS/2, incorporates the Identix TouchLock Identification Terminal and TouchNet II Identity Verification Network system, and is designed to enable authorities to scan fingerprints and gain access to records for inmate control, providing inmate enrollment during the entering process, providing positive inmate identity verification for releases and transfers, and transfer of inmate identification records between prisons; it will also be used for visitor entry and exit and employee access control – and it now costs the cons in Maryland a mountain of snout for Mr Big to undergo the painful process of having their fingerprints burned off.
