Houston County Jail Launches OverWatch™ by 4Sight Labs to Safeguard Lives and Modernize Operations

OverWatch is a wearable system developed by 4Sight Labs to monitor vital signs and movement in real-time. With proactive alerts and continuous oversight, the system is designed to reduce in-custody deaths and improve response times to health or behavioral emergencies.

"Our top priority is the safety and well-being of everyone inside this facility," said Captain Asbill. "OverWatch gives us another tool to meet that responsibility — it allows our staff to respond faster and more effectively when someone is in medical distress or showing warning signs. It's a smart step forward for our operations and for the people we serve."

The integration of OverWatch aligns with a broader national movement toward data-driven corrections management and inmate wellness. The sensors, worn by inmates, transmit data to strategically placed gateway devices, enabling 24/7 monitoring and immediate alerting when readings deviate from safe thresholds.

This deployment reflects Houston County's commitment to public safety innovation and makes it one of a growing number of forward-thinking jurisdictions leveraging OverWatch to transform correctional care.
