Access to controlled-environment facility visitation centers and controlled-environment facility resident visits

摘要

Systems and methods for controlling access to controlled-environment facility visitations enable and accept requests for visitations with residents of the controlled-environment facility and enable and accept scheduling of visitations with residents of the controlled-environment facility. A matrix barcode is assigned to each scheduled visitation in accordance with such systems and methods, and the resultingly assigned matrix barcode is provided to at least a non-resident taking part in a respective scheduled visitation, and in some implementations, to the resident. The visitation proceeds between the resident scheduled to take part in the scheduled visitation and the non-resident in response to confirmation that the non-resident, and in applicable implementations, the resident, is in possession of the assigned matrix barcode.
