Chilean prison fires government to reform prison security system

After Chilean President Piniella arrived at the San Miguel prison in San Diego on the 8th, he promised that the Chilean government will reform the prison system, including improving prisoners’ living conditions, and will reform the Chilean medical system.

Piniella said in an interview on the same day that the Chilean prisons are too crowded and that the conditions are “deficient in humanity.” The Chilean government will reform the prison system to prevent similar tragedies from happening again. Pinella said 21 wounded people who had been injured in the fire had been fully treated, but 14 of them were more serious.

On the morning of the 8th, local time, a fire broke out in the San Miguel prison on the outskirts of Chile’s capital, Santiago. It has killed 83 people and 200 people have been transferred. Chile’s Minister of Justice Boonesi said that it was initially inferred that the occurrence of the fire disaster was related to the overcrowding of the prison. The design capacity of the San Miguel prison was 1,000, but 1961 prisoners were detained in prison during the fire.

The prison security system integration platform solves the problem of isolated islands Due to the particularity of the prison itself, the prison security system involves a very wide range of fields, usually including: integrated wiring, video surveillance, perimeter alarm, high-voltage grid, access control, emergency alarm, patrol, and More than ten subsystems such as speaking, public broadcasting, meeting recording, and supervision information. Among them, the security and reliability requirements of security systems are significantly higher than those of other industries.

Problems - Information islands In recent years, although the prison security system has made some progress in intelligence, due to various reasons, there are still problems that need urgent improvement.

For example, all the above-mentioned subsystems have been operating independently, information cannot be shared, and there is no correlation between them, forming an island of information. In the event of an emergency, systems cannot be linked to each other in a timely manner. Monitoring images and other security resources cannot be shared, causing the management to fail to respond intuitively and fail to quickly and efficiently play the role of early warning and prevention. Afterwards, it is difficult to uniformly check and find records. The correlation between information wastes manpower and material resources, which results in low management efficiency.

In addition, the requirements for digital security management systems in prisons are not only simpler than security monitoring. They also involve the supervision of police officers and the daily supervision of prisoners. The system's information islands have been unable to effectively protect the rights and obligations of prison guards and detainees, and even lead to unnecessary disputes.
