Nevada Tech Day 2025

  • Nevada Tech Day 2025

During Tech Nevada 2025, the Nevada Department of Corrections showcased two of our exciting new technologies, our Thermal Camera System and Offender Tablets.  These technologies highlight two very important aspects of what we do, keeping Nevadans safe while also providing offenders with better services for education, legal research and the ability to connect with friends and family.

    ViaPath Offender Tablets

    Introducing tablet technology in correctional facilities is a smart solution driven by the need for improved efficiency and enhanced security. Tablets streamline operations by saving valuable staff time and reducing operational costs. At the same time, they foster responsibility and self-reliance among offenders. By enabling inmates to handle routine administrative tasks independently, tablets reduce the need for staff involvement, allowing them to focus on more critical duties. This empowerment also helps offenders develop greater digital literacy, increasing their chances of success upon release. Additionally, digital administrative requests promote a more organized and efficient system, benefiting both staff and offenders.

      ViaPath Offender Tablets Benefits

      • Increased access to education
      • Increased access to mental health services
      • Increased access to authorized religious resources
      • Providing opportunities for segregation offenders to access positive programming
      • Potential reduction in lawsuits by balancing security with access to religious and programming resources
      • More efficient method of monitoring for inappropriate communications
      • Helping offenders build basic technical skills for when they are released and will have jobs requiring some technical understanding
      • Increased staff safety through enhanced programming
      • Enhance our programming bandwidth given our staff to offender ratio
