This product utilises the CCS Developed Multi Application Smart Card and was the recipient of the Asia Pacific Smart Card Forums "Design and Innovation" Award in 2003.

The award winning "STEPS" utilises Smart Cards to enhance the care and well being of inmates and greatly assists operations staff to manage the facility. The personalised smart card issued to inmates and staff members allow the following functions to be authenticated:

• Movement and monitoring of cardholders throughout the facility
  
• Controlled trust account transfers and enquiries
  
• Canteen and vending machine purchases, and
  
• Information access via kiosks
  

This produces a holistic management tool for the site, allowing operations to comprehensively manage all cardholders' activity from macro to micro level. In addition, inmates are able to make daily decisions for themselves without compromising security.
