Flock

Flock Safety is a surveillance company that makes two main categories of product—Automated license plate readers (ALPRs) and full-on video cameras. These cameras have the ability to record 24/7 and be placed in a wide range of locations as they are powered by built-in solar panels. Using Flock’s software tools, police can reconstruct a person’s movements often on a minute-to-minute basis. In the case of the video cameras, police can obviously also watch a person’s specific behaviors.

Detention Facilities in Indiana

This is a list of detention facilities with some basic information gleaned mostly from ICE’s own detention facility pages on their website. Additional information comes from the data made available by the Deportation Data Project. Detailed information about visiting or sending support can be found on a facility’s individual page.

Clark County Jail

Clark County Jail is in Jeffersonville, just across the river from Louisville. At a glance this place seems strict for a county jail. All visits are over video—even on-site visits—and there are tons of rules about what kind of mail can be sent in. The page even indicates that incoming mail is read by the guards.

Acadis

Acadis (fka Envisage Technologies) is a software company located in Fountain Square Mall. While you would never know without looking, this is a company that might make the vast majority of their income from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). We know for sure that since 2008, they have recieved $94 million from DHS. Specifically, $36 million of that comes from Customs and Border Patrol and $24 million from ICE. The rest of the $94 million is mostly from the DHS procurement office with much smaller sums coming from things like Citizenship and Immigration Services and the Secret Service. In the same period of time Acadis recieved only $8 million from their next biggest government customer, the Department of Justice.
