 Correctional
institutions include federal, state, and local prisons. These
institutions have obvious needs to generate alerts and alarms when
emergencies occur. Correctional Institutions have established guidelines
and standards for generating alerts and alarms. A great part of these
guidelines include the use of extension based alarm generation where
correctional personnel use in-house telephones to dial 3 digit numbers
assigned for emergency use only. Two commonly used standards are 222
Fire and Emergency and 111 Off-hook.
There is also a requirement within correctional
institutions for security call checks whereby, correctional officers
periodically dial a 3-digit number to indicate they are at their post.
These security call checks are required to be archived and reported. The
telephone switch together with the AMS enable and automate this
requirement.
