Iris Scan

The Iris Scan is a recognition tool used to properly identify inmates as they enter the facility and depart. Iris scanning takes advantage of random variations in the visible features of the Iris. The details of each Iris are phenotypically unique, that is, no two are exactly alike, not even among twins, not even in your own two eyes.

Corrections Deputies perform a number of duties including fingerprinting
(live scan) and photos of inmates.
