Abstract
In a controlled-environment facility resident-to-resident communication management system a controlled-environment facility electronic digital mail center, and/or the like, receives and creates a digital version of an original mail item received at a controlled-environment facility, and a controlled-environment facility mail database, and/or the like, that stores digital versions of original mail items received at the controlled-environment facility. A centralized controlled-environment facility investigative data aggregation and analysis platform, and/or the like, identifies a sender and/or sending address of the original mail item from the digital version of the original mail item, queries a database using identification of the sender and/or the sending address, determines whether the sender is a resident of another controlled-environment facility, and in response to a determination that the sender is a resident of another controlled-environment facility, flags the digital version of the original mail item as a controlled-environment facility resident-to-resident communication.
