The present disclosure is directed to mobile correctional facility robots and systems and methods for coordinating mobile correctional facility robots to perform various tasks in a correctional facility. The mobile correctional facility robots can be used to perform many of the tasks traditionally assigned to correctional facility guards to help reduce the number of guards needed in any given correctional facility. When cooperation is employed among multiple mobile correctional facility robots to execute tasks, a central controller can be used to coordinate the efforts of the multiple robots to improve the performance of the overall system of robots as compared to the performance of the robots when working in uncoordinated effort to execute the tasks.

A self-defense apparatus includes a sleeve portion and an adapter connected to the sleeve portion. The sleeve portion includes a proximal end surface, an outer side surface, and a distal end surface. The sleeve portion defines an implement-receiving cavity that extends axially into the proximal end surface. The sleeve portion defines an adapter-receiving passage that extends axially into the distal end surface. A proximal portion of the outer side surface defines a handle portion that includes one or more finger grooves. A distal portion of the outer side surface defines an adapter-interfacing body. A first portion of the adapter body is disposed within the adapter-receiving passage. A second portion of the adapter body extends beyond the distal end surface. A distal portion of the second portion of the adapter body defines a conical body.

A modular tool including a first member and a second member each including a head portion, a shaft portion and a handle portion. The first member includes a first member slot and the second member includes a second member slot. A connector includes fasteners and a pair of locking tabs. Each of the locking tabs includes a pair of locking tab openings. The first member and the second member interlock via the first member slot and the second member slot. The pair of locking tabs are disposed within a pair of locking tab slots and the fasteners run through the pairs of locking tab openings and a pair of member openings, thereby locking the first member to the second member.

The present invention is directed to novel non-propellant personal defense tools that provide increased safety to users that prefer non-lethal weapons. In particular, the novel non-propellant personal defense tools of the present invention comprise a combat housing in an innovative combination with a vision impairment light, and sliding forend that creates sound when bidirectionally engaged, for example, as in the cocking of a shotgun. A non-propellant personal defense tool of the present invention is a hefty deterrent and resembles the image and action of a shotgun by an attacker when the vision of the attacker is impaired by the vision impairment light. In specific embodiments, the combat housing is shaped like a bat. Additionally, further embodiments also trigger an alarm or an alarm system.

An ambidextrous survival self-defense tool having a first bar and a second bar. The first bar is designed with a plurality of ribs next to each other at least partially along the surface. One end of the first bar tappers to a point. The point is a blunt point, the point in blunt due to roundness of the point. A second end of the first bar has a first striker attached. The striker is a round ball. The second bar is attached to the first bar perpendicularly along the body of the first bar. The second bar has a striker at one end. The striker is a round ball. A glass breaking point is added to an end of the first bar. A belt cutter is imbedded into the first bar along the body.

A recording system may use the information stored in a list to determine whether to receive and/or respond to messages transmitted by notice systems. The source of the information for the list includes a server and/or the recording system itself. A server that provides the list may use data provided by an agency to determine a relationship between a people, recording devices and notice systems. The associations between people, recording devices and notice devices may be used to determine what information is in the list. A recording device that forms the list may receive messages from any notice system, detect the session identifier, store the session identifiers from received messages, and receive and/or respond to messages in accordance with the list formed by the recording system.
