FC: Private firm helps jails post inmate listings, info on the Net

The private firm is called Eagle Law Enforcement Systems. It describes
itself on its website (www.eagle-us.com) as "an industry leader in
providing comprehensive jail and records management software to the police,
sheriff and corrections industries... With the addition of comprehensive
mugshot imaging, document imaging, signature capture, fingerprint capture,
and barcode scanner import modules, the Golden Eagle Inmate Management
System has become a force to be reckoned with in the correctional software
solutions market."

Here's an Eagle-ware-created list of the people currently in the McCracken
County Jail in Paducah, KY (which also, oddly sells T-shirts via the Net):

Subject: inmate listings and info online

Declan,

Please forgive and ignore if you know of this or have already reported on
it, but I was rather surprised and shocked to encounter this product -- a
website creation module for local jails, correctional facilities and other
agencies seeking to put their records online.

The URL will link you to a number of current prison rosters, chock-full of
criminal history info and pictures of inmates, many of whom are awaiting
trial and unsentenced.
