Handbook on Dynamic Security and Prison Intelligence

The theme of the Handbook is prison security – the means by which escapes and other crimes are prevented. Its main focus is on the contribution made by dynamic security and highlights one particular element of dynamic security prison intelligence which provides important intelligence for use within the prison to prevent escapes and maintain order and control. Prison intelligence can also be used more widely by criminal justice, law enforcement and security bodies and agencies to prevent prisoners from within the prison directing criminal activity taking place outside the prison. For example, conducting organized crime-related activities, terrorist or gang activity, drug trafficking, intimidating or corrupting witnesses, judiciary, lawyers or jurors.
