The Development of Personal Identification in Prisons

Abstract

I build my publication upon 12 years of experience that I  have spent in the IT field at the prison service since 2007. During this period, I continuously analysed the possibility of identifying prisoners by their biometric characteristics and I am currently conducting research on the same subject.  Summary documentation on prisoner identification is  currently not available. My article provides a  comprehensive picture of the identification systems used in  Hungarian prisons and their development, and at the  same time outlines the future of personal identification.
