1. A method, comprising:
- capturing at least one of;
an audio, a video, or a picture of one or more residents of a controlled-environment facility using a communication device disposed within the controlled-environment facility, wherein the communication device is not being used in any communication session during at least a portion of the capturing when the communication session is involved with a non-resident of the controlled-environment facility;
comparing captured audio, video or picture with one or more biometric or non-biometric identifiers, and identifying a plurality of residents based upon the comparison; and
alert at least one of controlled-environment facility personnel in response to a first identified resident being adverse to a second identified resident.

8. A controlled-environment facility covert monitoring and recording system comprising:
-
a communication device disposed within a controlled-environment facility; and a controlled-environment facility covert surveillance module employing at least one processor, with a memory coupled to the at least one processor, the memory configured to store program instructions executable by the at least one processor to cause the controlled-environment facility covert surveillance module to; capture at least one of an audio, a video, or a picture of one or more residents of a controlled-environment facility, using the communication device, where the communication device is not being used in any communication session during at least a portion of the capture when the communication session is involved with a non-resident of the controlled-environment facility; compare captured audio, video or picture with one or more biometric or non-biometric identifiers, and identify a plurality of residents based upon the comparison; and alert at least one of controlled-environment facility personnel in response to a first identified resident being adverse to a second identified resident. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by a controlled-environment facility covert surveillance module, cause the controlled-environment facility covert surveillance module to:
-
capture at least one of an audio, a video, or a picture of one or more residents of a controlled-environment facility using a communication device disposed within the controlled-environment facility, wherein the communication device is not being used in any communication session during at least a portion of the capture when the communication session is involved with a non-resident of the controlled-environment facility; compare captured audio, video or picture with one or more biometric or non-biometric identifiers, and identify a plurality of residents based upon the comparison; and alert at least one of controlled-environment facility personnel in response to a first identified resident being adverse to a second identified resident. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
