Project Overview

This mobile application is built to support individuals enrolled in pre-release and community correction programs. It allows users to manage their schedules, submit leave requests, make payments, and stay in touch with facility staff. With features like real-time GPS tracking, secure messaging, and access to treatment plans, the platform ensures better compliance and engagement. Integrated tools such as location verification, dosage tracking, and AI-powered live transcription improve transparency and reduce manual workload. Used by correctional centers in the United States, this offender management software development initiative transforms traditional paper-based systems into a structured, secure, and scalable offender case management platform for rehabilitation and monitoring.

Rebuilding Rehabilitation

Rebuilding Rehabilitation
Manual Workflow Inefficiency

Manual Workflow Inefficiency

Correctional centers relied on fragmented, paper-based systems for tracking, planning, and reporting, which led to frequent errors, compliance gaps, and delays—hindering operational transparency and burdening staff with repetitive manual work.

No Real-Time Location Tracking

No Real-Time Location Tracking

Officers lacked reliable tools to track client movement during outside appointments, increasing the risk of unauthorized detours, non-compliance, and delayed reporting—highlighting a serious flaw in traditional offender-based tracking systems.

Lack of Structured Messaging

Lack of Structured Messaging

Without a secure, role-based messaging system, vital updates between clients and staff were lost or delayed, causing confusion and undermining supervision goals within legacy probation case management software.

Disconnected Billing Logic

Disconnected Billing Logic

The absence of ICD code integration and negotiated rate workflows caused inaccurate billing, coverage conflicts, and reimbursement issues—creating operational bottlenecks in the probation software’s financial workflows.

Feature Rollout QA Gaps

Feature Rollout QA Gaps

With frequent feature updates and no formal QA process, the platform experienced regression bugs, edge-case failures, and missed validations—compromising the reliability of the evolving offender management software.

Background GPS Issues

Background GPS Issues

Mobile GPS often failed during sleep mode or app minimization. Constant polling drained batteries, leading to inconsistent offender location tracking and weakened compliance monitoring.

Mixed Client/Staff Comments

Mixed Client/Staff Comments

Shared comment fields for clients and staff caused data overlap, internal note exposure, and privacy risks—raising serious concerns about ethical data handling in offender risk assessment tools software.

Unverified Phone Sign-Outs

Unverified Phone Sign-Outs

Clients could sign out without carrying phones, making them unreachable during outings and violating supervision protocols—an oversight common in outdated inmate records management systems

QA Strategy and Test Cases

QA Strategy and Test Cases

A dedicated QA strategy with detailed test cases ensured robust feature rollouts, minimizing bugs and ensuring smooth platform upgrades in the evolving offender management software environment.

Split Comments for Privacy

Split Comments for Privacy

Client and staff comment fields were separated to prevent cross-contamination of sensitive notes, promoting data security and preserving the integrity of staff-only documentation.

Live GPS + Image Validation

Live GPS + Image Validation

GPS tracking combined with selfie-based image capture enabled real-time location proof, drastically improving supervision accuracy and compliance verification during scheduled activities and curfews.

ICD + UCR Billing Engine

ICD + UCR Billing Engine

The new billing engine introduced automated workflows using ICD codes and negotiated UCR rates, improving billing accuracy, reducing disputes, and aligning financial operations with healthcare and supervision standards.

Optimized GPS Tracking

Optimized GPS Tracking

Advanced background geolocation technology delivered consistent GPS data with minimal battery usage, ensuring reliable real-time tracking even when the app was minimized or running in the background.

Phone-Carry Workflow Added

Phone-Carry Workflow Added

New sign-out logic enforced mobile device possession, preventing unsupervised outings and improving real-time contact availability—a crucial upgrade for modern offender supervision systems.

Key Features

Key Features
