Anticipate, Coordinate, Learn: Prison Security in the Age of Data

From 25 to 30 October 2026, Sopra Steria will take part in the International Corrections and Prisons Association (ICPA) Annual Conference, the leading international event for correctional services professionals. 

As prison populations continue to grow and operational environments become increasingly complex, correctional facilities must continuously manage multiple flows—prisoners, visitors, incidents and staff—while ensuring security and operational continuity. Achieving this requires a renewed capability: access to reliable, centralized, real-time shared data. 

Our Smart Prison offering is built on:

• A single, trusted data foundation shared across all solutions 
• Reliable identification of inmates and visitors 
• Continuous incident detection, both on the ground and in the air 
• Real-time operational coordination 
• End-to-end traceability to support continuous improvement 

• Manage the entire inmate journey with IPMS, the central inmate and prison management system 
• Accelerate and secure every identification process, for both inmates and visitors, with Capitole mobile biometrics 
• Detect incidents and locate inmates through intelligent video surveillance and facial recognition with Neuroo 
• Coordinate operational response in real time using Crimson, our command-and-control and crisis management platform 
• Protect the prison airspace against drone intrusions with Boréades 

• Managing growing prison populations and operational complexity 
• Identity management and biometrics for enhanced security 
• Intelligent video surveillance and incident detection 
• Operational coordination and crisis management 
• Digital innovation for correctional administrations
