RFID in Japan

Asahi.com reported today that the goverment has selected nine companies including Secom to build a high-tech prison in Yamaguchi prefecture. It is expected to open in April 2007.

Windows in this prison will not have iron griddles; they will be made of tempered glass. Each prisoner will wear a jacket with an attached RFID tag and a display in a security guard room shows whereabouts of each prisoner.
