Streamline offender management while enhancing staff coordination

BlackSwan’s ELEMENT™ of Public Sector enables correctional facilities to streamline the management of offenders while increasing operational efficiency and enhancing coordination between prison officers. Our award-winning knowledge graphs build comprehensive profiles of offenders and their associates. Profiles are built using structured and unstructured information from internal and external data sources – accessed from the original source via a Data Fabric approach – for in-depth understanding and expert-level insights.

ELEMENT analyses this information using contextual analytics to assess the risks of re-offending and provide personalised recommendations for inmate treatment programmes such as rehabilitation in order to maximise the impact. Our platform also facilitates data sharing with strict user access controls, and generates up-to-the-minute dashboards and reports that allow officers to more efficiently monitor correctional facilities and make better decisions.
