Sanitation
Cell-cleanliness rounds
Document hygiene and sanitation checks per housing unit, with photo-ready notes for issues found and corrected.
Custom Workflows & Daily Tasks
If it happens on a schedule, you can prove it.
Build any recurring duty or daily task to your own policy — without waiting on a vendor ticket — and monitor it with the same tamper-evident proof of presence, escalation, and reporting that backs your most critical safety workflows.
The differentiator
Most systems lock you into the checks they built. But your policies, consent decrees, and state mandates change faster than a vendor's roadmap — so the duty that matters most this year is often the one the software can't do yet.
Sentry Inview lets you build it yourself — today
Build it your way
Any check. To your policy. Without a vendor ticket.
Legacy correctional tools are built around a handful of fixed primitives — the rounds and counts the vendor anticipated. Sentry Inview gives you a visual builder so a duty officer, not a developer, can stand up a new recurring task and put it on the floor the same day.
- A visual workflow builder — create or clone a check without code or a change request.
- Custom fields and required structured observations so every task captures exactly what your policy demands.
- Flexible scheduling with fixed, staggered, or unpredictable timing to prevent gaming the interval.
- Location tagging via NFC or QR ties each completion to a real place, not a clipboard.
- Role- and unit-based assignment routes the right task to the right post automatically.
- Escalation rules page a supervisor the moment a task is late, rushed, or missed.
- A template library of common corrections duties so you start fast instead of from a blank page.
- The same tamper-evident proof of presence, audit trail, and reporting as your core safety workflows — nothing is a second-class check.

Same backbone, every workflow
Custom doesn't mean second-class
Proof of presence
Every completion is bound to a unique officer, a real location tag, and a tamper-evident timestamp.
Live escalation
Late, rushed, or missed tasks escalate automatically — no silent failures on any workflow.
Full audit trail
Structured observations and a complete history export as inspector-ready reports in minutes.
One dashboard
Custom duties appear right alongside watch tours and counts in the same live control view.
In the field
Workflows facilities build on day one
These are recurring duties teams already run on paper or in their heads. Structure them once, and every one gets prompted, verified, and proven the same way.
Accountability
Key, tool & sharps control
Verify high-risk inventory at shift change and on schedule, with required counts and an instant discrepancy flag.
Restrictive housing
Segregation reviews
Time-stamp restrictive-housing welfare and status reviews to your policy and consent-decree intervals.
Life safety
Fire & safety watch
Run frequent egress and hazard rounds during impairment or construction, with staggered timing and escalation.
Equipment
AED & equipment checks
Confirm defibrillators, restraints, and emergency gear are present and ready — never discovered missing in a crisis.
Programming
Out-of-cell time logging
Capture recreation and out-of-cell time per person to evidence compliance with mandated minimums.
Supply
Laundry & supply distribution
Record clean clothing, linens, and hygiene-supply issuance on schedule, by unit, with a verifiable trail.
PREA
PREA audit rounds
Run unannounced supervisory rounds with structured observations that stand up to PREA audit scrutiny.
Health support
Med-pass support
Support medication-pass accountability with location-verified, time-stamped checkpoints for the custody side.
Maintenance & work-order verification, juvenile education and programming checks, and vehicle & sally-port inspections are just as straightforward to build.
How you build one
From idea to facility-wide in four steps
Pick a template or start blank
Begin from a common corrections duty in the template library, or open a blank workflow and shape it from scratch.
Define fields, schedule & staggering
Add the required structured observations and custom fields, then set frequency with fixed, staggered, or unpredictable timing.
Assign to roles and units, set escalation
Route the task to the right posts and units, tag locations with NFC or QR, and arm the rules that page a supervisor on a miss.
Launch facility-wide and monitor live
Publish to the floor and watch every completion in real time on the same dashboard as your core workflows, with reporting on demand.

Future-proof
When the standard changes, you change in minutes
A new state requirement, a consent-decree obligation, an accreditation update — the rules your facility lives by rarely stand still. With a fixed-primitive system, each change means filing a vendor request and waiting for a release that may never prioritize you.
With Sentry Inview, you adjust the workflow yourself. Add a field, tighten an interval, stand up an entirely new round — and it's on the floor the same day. One platform for suicide watch, watch tours, meal checks, and counts, and everything your policy will require tomorrow.
Side by side
Fixed primitives vs. workflows you own
| Capability | Fixed-primitive systems | Sentry Inview custom workflows |
|---|---|---|
| Add a brand-new check type | Limited to what shipped | Build it yourself, today |
| Adapt to a new state mandate | File a request, wait for a release | Adjust in minutes |
| Required structured observations per task | Often fixed or unavailable | Fully configurable |
| Same proof of presence & escalation on every duty | Core checks only | Yes — every workflow |
| Wait on vendor development | Required for any change | Not required |
Questions
Common questions from corrections leaders
Do custom workflows get the same proof of presence as the core checks?
Yes. Every workflow you build — no matter how specific — is bound to a unique officer, a real NFC or QR location tag, and a tamper-evident timestamp, with the same escalation and audit-ready reporting as suicide watch or watch tours. There is no second tier.
Who builds these — do we need IT or a developer?
No code and no vendor ticket. A supervisor or duty officer uses the visual builder to start from a template or a blank workflow, define the fields and schedule, assign it to posts, and publish it to the floor. Most teams stand up their first custom workflow the same day.
What happens when a new state requirement or consent-decree term lands?
You adjust the workflow yourself — add a required observation, tighten an interval, or create an entirely new round — and it's live the same day. You are never waiting on a release cycle to stay compliant with the standards your facility is held to.
