An article in the baltimoresun.com describes a crime solved because of behavior recognition software that identifies aberrant behavior caught by cameras, which then sends an alert to a monitoring center.  "Computer analysis of the way people and object appear and move on video is also being developed at the University of Maryland's A. James Clark School of Engineering and elsewhere for use in surveillance, security, anti-terrorism and even medical applications."  Another article in officer.com describes CCTV operating in the city of Yonkers, New York. Perhaps there is a future application for our jails.
