Cell-Guardian™ Introduces AI Behavior Detection to Enhance Inmate Safety and Reduce Liability
Correctional facilities gain a valuable new tool to help monitor at-risk inmates.
Aug 23, 2025
[Elyria, OH] - Rahm Sensor Development, Inc., the maker of Cell-Guardian™, today announced the launch of its new AI-driven behavior detection feature, designed to help correctional facilities improve safety and prevent critical incidents in real time.
Cell-Guardian is an advanced, zero-touch inmate monitoring system that combines radar, thermal, and RGB imaging with AI-powered vision and sensor-fusion algorithms in a compact wall-mounted unit to safeguard at-risk inmates. With the addition of flexible artificial intelligence, the platform now detects suicide attempts by hanging in addition to inmate falls. In the future, it will also recognize behaviors such as fights, banging on a door and signs of medical distress like clutching the chest or sudden posture changes. By detecting behaviors that signal medical, psychological, or emotional crises, Cell-Guardian enables correctional staff to respond more quickly and with the right interventions.
“This new AI capability gives correctional officers a second set of eyes to monitor high-risk inmates in cells equipped with the Cell-Guardian,” said Vik Ramprakash, CEO of Rahm Sensor Development. “By continuously analyzing movement patterns and behavioral indicators, Cell-Guardian provides instant alerts and time-stamped video for staff, supporting early intervention and reducing liability.”
AI behavior detection provides correctional officers with an extra layer of support, helping them work smarter and more efficiently. By automating the detection of risk behaviors and alerting staff in real time, the system reduces the burden of constant manual observation and minimizes the monotony of watching hours of surveillance video. This technology also helps prevent staff burnout by streamlining monitoring tasks. It better allocates available resources, allowing officers to focus on critical decision-making and direct inmate interaction.
The enhanced system integrates seamlessly into existing operations and requires no wearable devices, making it ideal for suicide watch, detox monitoring, and medical observation. Events are securely stored for compliance, investigations, and legal protection.
