Today’s Tech Tools Technology updates help staff work more efficiently, improve communication, and strengthen safety. Body-Worn Cameras
In 2025, the Indiana Department of Correction (IDOC) completed the statewide rollout of body-worn cameras across facilities, providing staff with an additional tool to support safety and accountability. Equipping staff with this technology promotes consistent practices across facilities and supports transparency in daily operations.
Worn directly on staff uniforms, the cameras record video and audio during daily interactions, creating a clear, objective account of events as they happen. This helps protect staff and those incarcerated in IDOC facilities. Together, modern systems and staff-focused tools reflect IDOC’s commitment to using technology responsibly, ensuring it enhances operations while supporting our staff in maintaining a safe environment.

Tablet Technology The IDOC continued modernizing its technology in 2025 with the rollout of tablet devices. Across the state, people in our facilities have access to education, communication, and digital resources. Tablets are one of several tools IDOC uses -- alongside smart boards
and closed-circuit television -- to support educational, vocational, and therapeutic programming. These technologies promote daily engagement, reduce reliance on paper-based processes, and help individuals build familiarity with the digital tools commonly used in everyday life. The updated tablets also enhance secure communication with approved contacts and facility staff, supporting timely information sharing and operational efficiency. Participation in tablet services is optional, and IDOC continues to provide educational and programmatic materials directly to individuals, regardless of tablet use.
