ABSTRACT
Currently CCTVs, drones and guards are used to monitor the activities of the jail. But these surveillance systems are not sufficient to supervise such criminals and ensure that there is no chance of the escaping of these prisoners. As there are many problems with the modern security systems. Some of the detected issues with these CCTVs are deteriorated images at night, noisy camera footage, flickering videos, displaying horizontal lines on videos, getting no video signal, no recording by DVR, starting and annoying false alarms,bright spots on the monitor, etc.These troubles can create much chaos in the jails and prisoner can get a chance to flee as well as deployment of these techniques is quite costlier. This shows that there is a demand of such a secure system that is economical to use and can provide satisfactory surveillance solution to the jails. Many systems have been introduced earlier to fulfill this demand that generally use Bluetooth, GSM, GPS but these systems are not steady and can be affected by cyber-attacks.Through this paper we came-up with an idea to design an advanced and reliable fix for this problem statement. The aspiration four device is to implement an intact environment in the prison that supervise the motion of the prisoners and the out siders and overcome the limitations of the security modules available in the market using internet of things.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
A prison or cell break is an unlawful act under Nigerian law, of a prison enforcing their way out of a prison. It can also be described as attacks on the Nigerian Prisons Services by terrorists such as Boko Haram and armed robbers in which many prisoners are released. (Smith, 2010) Often, when this occurs effort are made by the Nigerian Prisons Services in conjunction with security agency to rearrest the escapee and return them to the prison and this may result in the extension of their jail term. Prison break in Nigeria may be attributed to corruption, (Osifodunrin, 2013) poor funding of the prison services, poor prison facilities, inadequate security features such as CCTV, motion sensors, high wall made up of barbed wire and sometimes electric fencing of the wall.
Several methods can be used to facilitate prison break. Physical method is the most common method adopted by the perpetrators of Nigeria prison break. (Beam, 2011)This method involved the use of arms and sometimes explosives such as dynamite to subdue the prison armed guard and other officials resulting in fatal casualties (Beam, 2011).
This paper targets on the condition that if the prisoner tries to escape from the jail his/her movementcan be detected as soon as his/her presence is not been found in the cellor the area he/she issupposedto bein. Geo-fencinghasbeen done andLaserisused to failthe idea ofescaping.
Many Prison Security and Safety devices have been used in the past that are based on Wi-Fi,Bluetooth for Internet as communication mode, GPS and GSM for SMS as communication mode.All of these systems have their own restrictions. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth devices have a primaryflaw of limited range. Poor internet connectivity can be an issue in densely populated areas andmultistorybuildings.
The main aim of this work is to keep a propermonitoring system on the inmates and track theirlocationonregular basis using IoT.
In this work, escape detection in prison environment is detected using Geo-fencing with IOT based solution. As the security officials were easily botched by prisoners by means of deviating the officials to move away from their positions, it is again considered as additional offense to during his/her imprisonment Internet of Things (IOT) is an enabling technology to connect different physical objects/sensors which monitor the environment. It allows the sensors to exchange the information with other sensors and allows to act accordingly.
The work is organized as follows: chapter one discuses the introductory part of the work, chapter two presents the literature review of the study, chapter three describes the methods applied, chapter four discusses the results of the work, chapter five summarizes the research outcomes and the recommendations.
1.2 PROBLEM STATEMENT
Prison breaks are very common and most usual thing to happen. There is no such count but prison escapes keep happen, either at large scale or in smaller scale. A thought of these inmates still roaming around within us is itself very scary. The changes required in the today’s prison system is that, that the system should be a bit digitalized rather than using human force to guard the inmates.
The digital system to be used can be made reliablethat it can’t be under cyber attack. There are somemore aspects that can be used to make this systemmorereliable againstcyberattack.
The problem statement is to make a digitally useful system for prison break alerting and monitoring the inmates using IOT.
1.3 AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
The main aim of the system is to keep a proper monitoring system on the in mates and track their location on regular basis.
Themain objectives ofthesystemare:
- To monitor the in mates on regular basis.
- To detect the location and change in location of the prisoners with the help of radio frequency.
- To send the alert signal throughout the prison ifthereis anyprisonbreak.
1.4 SCOPE OF THE PROJECT
The system is made of Arduino module and aradio frequency (RF) module which helps us to achieve the desired results. The officer’s main portal is made with the help of IOT Gecko. The RF module is placed of each in mate, continuously tracking their location. Once the prisoner is out of his/her authenticated location an alert signal is passed onto the officer’s portal and throughout the prison alerting about the escape.
1.5 LIMITATION OF STUDY
As we all know that no human effort to achieve a set of goals goes without difficulties, certain constraints were encountered in the course of carrying out this project and they are as follows:-
- Difficulty in information collection: I found it too difficult in laying hands of useful information regarding this work and this course me to visit different libraries and internet for solution.
- Financial Constraint: Insufficient fund tends to impede the efficiency of the researcher in sourcing for the relevant materials, literature or information and in the process of data collection (internet).
- Time Constraint: The researcher will simultaneously engage in this study with other academic work. This consequently will cut down on the time devoted for the research work.
1.6 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
This research work will throw more light on the best techniques for protecting prison environment thereby reducing the rate of inmates escape. This study will also be designed to be of immense benefit students in that it will exposes them to the use and applications of IoT.
Finally, it will also serve as a useful piece of information for both producers and users of security devices.
1.7 APPLICATION OF THE PROJECT
This device can be used to safeguard public places such as:
- banks,
- shopping malls,
- homes,etc. from robbers.

5.0 CONCLUSIONANDFUTURESCOPEOFTHEPROJECT
Conclusion
The conclusion of the project is that if this system is implemented in our prison system it would add a new level to the security rules of our country. This system will bring some difference in the number of jail breaks happening per year.
Future Scope
If any time in future this system is implemented it can be made using nanotechnology reducing the size of the transmitter into a small chip. This chip can be planted anywhere on the inmates clothes with out giving the inmate any clue of it.
EvenGPSsystemcanbeaddedonthechipmakingit easierto be tracked.
Constraints for real time deployment Since this system is deployed in the real time there are some obvious constraints that cause problem while executing.
The first constraint is the internet system. The system needs strong internet connection to be executed so if we lose the internet connection the system needs to be reset. The front end interface should never be closed. If the window is closed the system loses connection making it lag behind.
